Is she on recall too? :wink:

Maybe that will put the brakes on all of those smug BMW riders out there who keep on telling us to get a BMW?

Typical shite sky reporting:

*"The German vehicle manufacturer said a risk of leaks had been identified in the braking system of the K 1200 GT model .

However it said only one in a thousand riders had reported a problem and no accidents were known to have been related to the issue.

Affected motorbikes are mainly from the firm’s Boxer range , which was in production from August 2006-May 2009."*

The R series are the boxer range, and I’m probably being a little more pedantic, but sky really gets my goat. They never reported that almost all Ducati had to be recalled due to fuel leaks in 2009 or any of the other recalls.

They are doing better than Toyota with their cars who still have issued a recall for all the braking issues.

Grrr fecking Murdoch.

Not a chance:P But i like what you did there, put the brakes on…brake issue :stuck_out_tongue:

Always better to be safe than sorry i say.

Is it bad that I can’t tell what’s better looking in that picture? :wink:

Who would you rather spend the night with?

Obviously the lovely lady I already have the bike:cool:

Knowing PJ, he probably has… Bring it to BMM tomorrow PJ :smiley:

Too bad. BMW 1200cc bikes and Milfs are out of bounds until your 18th birthday :smiley:

well as my Beemer was made well before 2006 I’m going to sit smugly by and still advise people to get BMW’s :slight_smile: so if Sky got it right (and that is far from a given) then BMW had problems with 122 bikes none of which were serious, big deal !

Nope, nothing wrong with her :w00t:

Perhaps BMW should get back to basics and design some cars with indicators that work :stuck_out_tongue:

ps… The chick is fit - is she famous / should I know who she is?

You could always scroll down a little and read the picture caption. Just a suggestion.

yes it is, go crap in the woods and chop down a tree to redeem yourself

All I can say to you, Jamesy-dude is “roundabouts” :smiley:

p.s. scoot - 16 is the legal limit he is bothered about :wink:

Dude! I’d definitely ride the girl over the bike anyday.

Sorry mate but she is more than 35bhp so you will just have to wait till your a big boy;)
