BMW dealer in Cancun
I tried to have the 20 000 km service performed on my GS 650 at Mayan Motors in Cancun, supposedly an authorised BMW dealer.
After a whole day, and 5 000 pesos, they failed to change the fork oil, coolant or brake fluid (as requested); didn't replace the airfilter or plugs, as specified in the service schedule; didn't check or fill the battery. Finally they used some corrosive mix to clean the bike, and stained the wheel rims. Two weeks after complaining to Gabriel, the owner, I haven't had a reply.
The good news, Ricardo at Bikers Garage is an ex-BMW technician, is passionate about his work, and he remedied all the problems on a Saturday for just 2 000 pesos.

Rotten luck
Never much fun to read a post like this.
I am guessing that we have all had a similar experience somewhere, one which spurred me on to learn more about my 650 and carry out my own repairs even if I do take a bit longer- the satisfaction of a job properly done is hard to describe. 
(yes it does mean a few more kilos in your pack  but better that than the alternative)

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
