Angry Some bastard tried Dtealing My R100gs in London! No where to Repair?
Hi,
First of all i am living in London at the moment and got some work overseas so i left for 5 weeks. Whith bike securely locked on side of road near Baker Street I left. Returned Today to Find Bike Turned around, Tail light Broken, Factory Steering Lock Broken, Ignition busted and tank all scratched. A very sad day indeed.

My problem being that i am now living at a friend flat in central london and nowhere to work on the bike. Also i want to find a good BMW mechanic (NOT Dealer) to also repair my rear seal on the gearbox.

If anyone knows anywhere close to london it would be appreciated.

You Travell 1/2 way around the world with no problems, then you hit London!!!!

Thanks
Troy

Angry f%$^ers, aren't they?
Must be a blackspot - 6 weeks ago my xt600e was nicked from a m/c bay also very close to Baker street.

In my case, this was after months of preparing for a tour of S. America (I would have shipped the bike two weeks later.)

You could try chasbikes (google it), they are a general m/c workshop nr Southark bridge.
