Fuck these guys, Pete :classic_laugh: you're being made fun of by three guys that together own a KLR, a Harley, and a Ducati that sounds like a box of nuts every time it's started, his biggest mileage on two wheels is done on a Transit. 

 

Let them fix the GS, ride it around for a couple of months and then sell it on, and keep your eye out for another. These bikes are either the best most reliable thing ever or a pain in the ass, more so if the mechanic isn't specialized in them. 

 

I knew they'd have a field day.....but we desperately needed a thread Pedro! So I had to throw myself to the wolves!

As for the GS.....it really rides well, I've got no complaints on that score. Plus the workshop doing the work is a recognised BMW independent so no worries there.

And as you can see by the condition, this certainly doesn't seem like an abused bike.

This is the moment I discovered the oil leak......you can see the drip underneath. (I know some twat will do a bad Photoshop number on it now).

Not at all......I've got no problem changing bikes! It's just that I would like to get this bike back!

If issues continue then I'll obviously have to rethink it, but as it stands it's not costing me a penny and I'm getting loads of new shit in it.

But you’ve been without a bike for a fucking month

I know! But it's been blazing heat, a shit load of work, and spending time with the grandkids!

So it's not like I've been sitting round kicking my heels!

By the time they finish swapping out parts as they find more problems you will only have that top box left of the original bike. Henceforth your bike shall be known as TRIGGER'S BIKE. The terrible thing is, the top box is Italian.

And that's the plan Yen!

The work is carried out by Alonzor Bernar (who are not a part of Vespacito) so it's in their interests to find more things wrong as it's more dosh for them. And more new shit for me!
