150 miles from home on my bike and the day turned into a complete rain out. Tried to simply ride home through it and my bike simply quit running after about an hour.

They treated me super kindly, filled me with food and hot coffee, and helped me arrange a tow. I’m now home safe, warm, and $200 short in the pocket. Pretty ticked off though as BMW is suppose to be the “all weather” bike of bikes. Still under the factory warranty, so we’ll see how BMW treats their customers.

Nice light and relatively cheap… but put […]
Self-driving?!
This is what’s scary about the new self-drive technology. It’s brought to you by the same folks that can’t even keep an entertainment system running.
