Recall work
Talked to an ex BMW mechanic a couple of weeks ago & he said that BMW were doing a check on the crown wheel of the final drive & it would be prudent to have it checked. I agreed, so today I took a trip to my local dealer, Balderstones at Peterborough. Yes it was true that they were checking ...

Had a Shoei Multitec when I got the 1200 in 2014, which I'd worn for some years, it was very good. After my rear end shunt I had it replaced from the insurance with a BMW System 5.
