Phillip McCallens Visit

I cannot comment on KTM but one of the justifications (to myself) for sticking with BMW was if I needed service when travelling I could probably get it. When in Germany I had an issue with what turned out to be an electronic gremlin on my GSA I rode into the nearest Motorrad dealer, found in my satnav, in under 20 minutes I was fixed and on my way, no charge.

In my opinion, that service gave me a peace of mind that is priceless.

Yet in over 30 years of touring (on KTMs and other marques) , I’ve never needed to visit a dealer whilst out on a trip.
From memory the only bikes that have broken down in the last few decades when we’ve been away have all been BMWs.
Two GSs and a K1300S.
So I guess it’s another factor to consider for some.

I have been away with Yamaha and Honda that have given trouble so what does that prove? mechanical items go wrong no matter were they are made.
