System 6 helmet

[Brian ROSEN]

Taking advantage of the European Market

'[I'']Firstly, I bought the helmet from Chandlers BMW in Portslade near Brighton, England. [/I] " My brother lies nearby and went along there to buy one for me; I live it France but will be in the UK very brifly very this weekend. They are prepared to supply one at under £300 and have some in stock BUT the only snag is that if it doesn't fit they won't take it back. So the answer is clear - I go to my trusty BMW dealer in Lyon and ask if he can do one at 327€, the UK price (insted of around 560€ the french price) He may say yes, because I am a good customer - but if he says no I am sure he will let me try on one of the size i want - then i will safe buying it at distance. That is what the Euopean Union is all about!

I must apologise for the poor spelling and writing in the above message. Anyway I went to Lyon this morning, tried on the System 6 helmet & it felt a perfect fit, telephoned my brother who will, I hope, by now have bought one for me from Chandlers. The price in France is £200 more so there was no point in 'negotiating'!!

Four years of waiting to present that stunning bit of news.

Be sure to let us know when you have completed your mission in 2017.

The sequel

The rathetr sad end of my story (four years ago!) is that shortly after the 2 year guarantee expired one of the cales that operate the sun vizor broke and it has been declared "beyond repair." by the local BMW dealer

My God, that is awful.

How have you lived with yourself, hiding such vital information? Four years of waiting, only for Rusty to now learn that he's maybe about to repeat your misfortune.

Words allone cannot express the upset your selfish action will have caused.

Disgraceful.

How time flys

27,327 posts! Still I think a little more respect for your elders is required.. I am still not fully recovered from the shock of learning that BMW can manufcture somethingh that cannot be repaied. Perhaps someone HAS managed such a feat?
