BMW
Good post Ted.
I have heard about so many problems from BMW owners.
(Generator, bearings.....)
I just read a book from a person that did Alaska-Argentina on a big GS.
Half the bike was replaced before leaving USA. And the captain of Steelrathle joked that the BMW owners use to plan their SA route based on where to find BMW dealers. They have to use them as Way points, to repair their bikes.
(But if you have two support truck, helicopter and have the whole BMW organisation to help you. It is OK. Charlie and Ewan..)
And these BMW owners talk about low quality of other bikes...
Bikes that they have never tried.
The guy that did Sidney - London an a Honda CT 110 postie. Later used a BMW in USA. And his statement was that the BMW was good in USA. But in Pakistan he needed a bike that he knew would start every morning and that was simple to maintain. Not horse power. CT 110 was the perfect bike for that trip.

I guess it is time to log out. And turn off the computer. Before it gets attacked.
And take a tour on my 20 year old Honda....
