HAHA god, I remember them Mick. They rised some eye brows.
If I recall, their subframe DID break and so did their rear shock and drive shaft.
I found out when I was talking with a guy with a 1200 GS who was stuck in Ushuaia with another break down...
His starter motor jammed and the electrics went to Mars. He spent 90% of his total time in South America stuck in the South because BMW wouldnt entertain his warrenty outside of Germany.
He offerered to swap me his £10,000 BMW for my £1500 XT600E...... HAHHAAHAH ! No thanks, not with another 15,000 miles to go !
I joke not.
