bumming a lift to morocco - Travelers meeting
 

any one from ireland or the UK going to Morocco, April 24-27 2008 - The Mini-Meeting will be at Maadid near the sand dunes of Erfoud
I have a buddy that has broken a rear shock that will be going there (is there ) and if by any chance somebody was going from around here and i could get the airshock to them .... meanwhile while in the Bar I'll have a Quick one

pg:oops2:

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank Phil Gunn for all his efforts in
getting a replacement air shock for us.

Three of us shipped our bikes out to Malaga and rode them to Morocco on
a 3 week spin. After only a couple of days the strut inside the air shock of
my brothers XChallenge broke, luckily he had just pulled in behind me when
it went.

We contacted BMW Ireland and they could do nothing for us inside of a
week, but then we gave Phil a call, I think it was half an hour later he had
sourced a shock from another bike and was arranging to get it to us.

While we were waiting for the shock to arrive we got a shock from
something else (god only knows what it was) which got us mobile for
a while, well at least untill the weld broke.

Maadid where we spent two nights and watched some brilliant presentations.:thumbup1:

For X-Challenge riders, that's a pretty worrying sight. Any clues? What are BMW saying? Let me guess - 'One-off, never seen it before'. Just like the G-Spot holes in the bladder and the snapped foot pegs. I love this bike, but it does worry me...

Suerte, Dan
