More interesting story..
I´m at Lima today then meet the guy who got a shock for me.
I find that the story is more funny..
The customs officer think it´s very expensive as it has a BMW logo,but
he cannot find how exactly much it is on internet.
So my friend tell him that it´s for the bicyle,not motorcycle.
So the officer believe this and search the internet again and got a 300 USD price as it´s a very big bicycle shock.
Then he put a 40% tax of 300 USD,then add some more.
So it became 162 USD..
Tomorrow,I will install the shock at bike shop in Miraflores.
They charge me 50 USD. I thinks it´s OK.
Also,I have to send it back to Lonestar BMW dealer,Austin,Texas.
This will also cost money..
The reason why I don´t fix it in Lima then go to Santiago,Chile to change it on warranty is ..I{m going to Boliva,so I feel that it will be broken again before I got to Santiago,Chile. But many guys told me it will be OK.
Also, I call to the BMW dealer in Equador,Bogota and Chile but all said that
they don{t have a stock now and it will take 3 weeks to get it.
Also,the bike shop in Argentina told me that I should go into one of town in Argentina to send it because the Tax is also very high in Argentina.
So,guys,when you have a same situation in Peru,the cheapest and fast way is that
fix the broken shock in Lima then go to BMW dealer in Santiago then change it on warranty..
Anyway,I have another problem..
THere are no tire of my size,17 rear and 19 front now..I should buy the Dakar..!! I feel so stupid now..OOOPPSSS
