BMW Recall

No surprises here after the video documentation of the forks snapping and severely injuring several people while they were using the bike for its intended "adventure" purposes.

Unfortunate as I am a fan of BMW, but these things happen from time to time.

Yep I saw that in ADVrider. Its a shame their expert teutonic engineers couldn't have foreseen this happening when they designed their masterpiece. <dope>

But its NOT a recall--its a "campaign". Right

It's not an investigation, it's a "matter" ;)

I'll just be over here riding my Hondas. I prefer my death traps to have rectum fryers.
