Coming up to a wee roundabout, but a hyper mental wee roundabout, with 5 exits, and everybody shoving in. I love it. Always on guard for it.

So , bimbling round it, see that a twat in a 4 by 4 is going to pull out on me, so I back off that last wee bit, and was about to give him the finger, when I spotted that he had a fkn trailer on the back, with a black gs 800.

Ha fkn ha, I hope it had a blown engine you tit.

BM owners eh, Got to love them, even the ones with bikes are fkwits.

Hello ,
I resemble that remark       .........we ain't all that bad .......
I wonder if the GS was suffering from the dreaded snapped chain syndrome , or was just being delivered somewhere .

Good to see you are OK .

My ole lardie dah beastie [ 1100 RT ] has 68k on the clock , and although it is " cosmetically challenged " , the engine is still going strong - the only thing that's fell off it ...........is me !!

Ride safe ,

Steve

No offence, but how bad do things have to be when bee emm owners pull out on you when they are not even on their bike, but towing the heap.

I have almost no time for the arrogant attitude of the ewan wanabe's any more, and while it's a bit of a sweeping statement, I've yet to find an ounce of evidence other than that they are so pissed that their bike doesn't magically make them superheroes that they ride around with their fingers up their arses

bah

I suspect that BMW like Mercedes decided in the mid '90s to try to reduce costs, thereby reducing the quality of their bikes and cars. It's certainly the case that Mercs. are not as robust, longlived and reliable as they used to be and older BMW bikes- the early fours,triples and 4 valve twins seem to go on forever. Not so sure about the newer ones. Certainly the finish on an 1100S I had was lovely to look at but very short lived. I've also known people have a lot of problems with immobiliser and ABS electronics. Chatting to the service manager at a local Honda dealer who had previously worked at a BMW dealership, said that the warranty work needed for BMWs was twice that needed for Hondas. Makes you think a bit..

Not that Hondas are good...
