Like a lot of other coporatocracies, like politicians & uncivil servents & the(ir) law only responding to trivia & not paramount matter. Please www. Caulterdons Inverness....strangely enough a d I shouldn't be perplexed as to why enumerable encounters with BMW garages have lost the franchise they should never have been given. Deplorable. Despite havin purchased a brand new BMW r65 in 1979 with dplorabl Euro drop handlbars. Foolishly sellin it t muv up2 a 800 or 1000, S, RS, T, RT, I repurchased a far betr R65'81 with faulltless electronic ignition & far betr raisd Nth American handlbars. Both had useless sidestands. (Thx gudness f Motoworks SureFut sidestand. Fathr welded lugs on2 useless Ctr Stand t prevent repeatd falln off standS. Thx gudness 2 f Mansfields Breakwell&Green handmade stainless exhausts downpipes & silencers as BMWs wer like their R65 stands as was their aftr care Gud f litl or nothn. This despite fact they rplaced clutch but only a cupl of munths owta warrenty & rplacin 3 sets, each of which shuda lasted 36k km but only got 24k owta 3 sets combined mileage. B&G's gud ss new wen 18yrs old havin undrgon wel in xcess of 150k. R65'81 purchased in 1982. Scrapd in 2005 @183, 500km. This thx t deceasd fathr a formr ships eng. I hav since purchased anuthr R65 albeit used in 2008 which I stil now 2019 hav. But eithr it dies or mor likely givn dplorabl state of wot is left of rds I wil! Un-civil servants, clowncilrs & politicians, notably hwys inspectrs & state polis shud b buried alive therin. I wud howevr, nevr agen purchase anothr BMW as in the most unlikely event I outliv this R65 I shud purchase a Moto Guzzi whom unlike BMW stuk t tried, tested, perfected simplicity. Not ovr engineerd. In any event havin crashd then 1982 swervin t miss a car & hitin a trailr BMWs garages in Oslo wer inept. I was skind alive in Misserableboro on Teesside. My now deceased fathr miraculously/incredulously rebilt R65'81. Krausers & Windjamr smashd t smitherines. Upon re-takin it t Middlesbrough, Darlington, Newcastle upon Tyne BMW franchises. All like state polis whom thretnd t prosecute me if I shud hav tuk BMWs inconpetents t cort as I had repeatedly advised their clueless useless franchises sumthin then I didn't no of nor undrstand. But they new @ Kingston upon Hull. Pressin down on rear rak he held fork(s) spun wheel whilst holdin markr pen witch shud hav but didn't touch & mark wheel rim. Bukld accountin f oscilation, crash, bang, hospitl. Sumthin evry1 readin this shud do on all motorbicycles. (Ditto, cars trakin, by virtue of lukin @ fruntvwheels ensurin cana c rear wheels & vice versa). Since then yet mor BMW incompetence, gross dereliction of duty of care & responsibility has since cum t lite in both York & notably InverMESS . Givn this & far 2 much t document here in nevr evr cud I evr agen purchase a BMW. Brilliant simplistic engineerin f as my deceased fathr & his, both ships engineers extoled the miraculous R65 praising its (beauty in) simplicity. Less t go rong, time, trubl, efrt, xpense f DIY or worse othrs, notably case scenario BMW incompetents t resolve. Brilliant machines. Hopeless, clueless, useless franchises. Sumthin no auto manufacturer shud av (vested, self-servin, self-promotionl interest therin). BMW aftr sales care. All but criminal. Disgraceful & Deplorable. Thx f the memorable scars, wasted, time, trubl, efrt & xpense (witch as with all RTA's NHS) shud av been reimbursed...like un-civil servants, notably hwys inspectrs; clowncillors, politicians, P.lebian and/or P.erjurin C.onstafools they shud b buried alive in their potholes. They like BMWs franchises & mechanics r a monumentl disgrace t human'kind'! Nevr, evr agen (shud I evr purchase BMW. They delivrd me t hell. They can go t hell! The only redeemin festure bein such that all but all those BMW franchises I have had the mis-fortune t use hav lost their franchise and/or ceasd tradin endsngerin othrs machines, life & limb. Shud BMW read this, pls do issue a writ. I'd b only 2 plsd t atend cort & invite media along.
