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. A fellow biker took pity on my bedraggled drown rat sole and gave me a lift to the Annapolis Harley dealership. 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.
