A huge thanks to the BMW Dealerships........

[Goose]

that have allowed me to buy bikes over long distances.......

1st - to Graham Jones at VINES Redhill - my 2011 GSA was organised via many emails and calls and he always provided top service........ a massive THANK YOU Graham. I'll remember where my first call would go when needing another GSA over here........ your patience and help was really appreciated and you went the extra miles to assist!

.............. my Yellow GSA finally left yesterday with her new owner!



2nd and not least - a fellow Tosser, now living in South Africa - Alex Reid now works for BMW Auto Alpina in Johannesburg............ Alex has been fantastic in assisting me to replace my SA GSA.
What's really amazing was the fact that Alex assisted me with info and checks - for "other" bikes that he would not have benefitted as a sale at all - yet he was ready to assist.
When crunch-time came - he managed to get me a really good deal on a 2012 GSA - and I'll be collecting her in a few weeks for a leisurely trip through Southern Africa!

Thanks Alex - we'll share a cold one soon

............... the "new" bike waiting.....

just a short update - I collected my new GSA about 5 weeks ago..... flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg, collected my bike and started a really fantastic roadtrip back to the Cape.......... wow - gorgeous roads, sunshine every day with temps between 28 & 38deg C...... could not ask for better!


Alex Reid did a fantastic deal and service from start to finish was seamless......... anyone coming to SA - he's the man to sort you out!



Loaded up......... ready to go (pity about the road tyres... but that's life!)



Sifting through thousands of pics to compile a decent RR............ just a sample though

Nice one Goose. You're in GSA country now.
