“the oil’s meant to stay on the inside…”

so…

  • this friend of mine…
  • got her brand new BMW R1200GS on monday…
  • which incidentally is a bike after which i like totally lust…
  • as pictured here: [www.reisemotorrad.de]
  • or elsewhere here; [www.reisemotorrad.de]
  • so she got it…
  • rode it to work and back for two days…
  • only to find on the second day it had dumped oil all over the rear wheel…
  • and having alerted the dealer, took it back…
  • to find several dozen BMW senior engineers waiting with cameras to photograph the problems for the guys in germany, and to apologise profusely…
  • and provide a courtesy bike.

i will be waiting a year or so before getting mine anyway, but it’s nice to know that customer service is not dead. 😎

their response might be predicated upon the fact that hers is one of probably less than a dozen in private hands at the moment; the bike had its worldwide launch on 13th march.

    Not a good start to get oil on the rear wheel. No wonder they were panicked – think of the terrible publicity.
