I know that this is the wrong place for this but have got to say a bigthank for you to bavarian motors of panama city central america. After my crunch we ordered the bits new front wheel new forks brake lever etc and today went around to their (car) workshop and fitted all the bits, and now have a bike on the road again, at least as it;s now on the plane to equador but after riding in the van for two weeks it is great. PANAMA CITY IS A GREAT PLACE, NO ONE STOPS BLOWING THEIR HORNS SO IF YOU BRING YOUR BIKE HERE
GET AGOOD HOOTER total cost $4000. so thought this not bad considering
the amount of bits required and this is central america and not the eu.so well done bmw and thanks.

Interested in your experience. Despite my moans about BMW they do come up trumps most of the time. During our trip to the Middle East two years ago my brothers differential sheared. Local BMW set up a rescue to the nearest dealer and the service we got there was fantastic

Your journey looks interesting. Have you got a Blog? Would love to hear more.

Good to hear your back on the toad Dave. had all the parts ready, just waiting for the OK from you. Glad you got it sorted.

You can't expect to get from Alaska to the tip of S.America without the odd mishap .

See you in December

Many tyhanks for your assistance neil but as we were on a tight schedule had to go the way i did, but had I been on my own it would have been perfect,
Difficult doing a blog as I do not have a pc here, borrowed one from my room mate and we have a free wireless connection from the window. To keep up
with our progress (or lack of) www.globebusters.com tales from the road will give you an up todate record (bore you all stiff!) The mian road outside our hotel here in the up town part of Panama City has a manhole cover missing!
24 inches dia and a long drop! so dont ride at night without hids.
We now have some unhappy aussies on our trip! we won!.
Best regards to all, dave gs.
