But....
The bike has suffered a catastrophic failure. The low oil pressure light turned out to be a more serious problem than a bad sensor.
The dealership here is telling me that it would take them at least a month to remove the engine, find the problem, order any parts and reinstall. It would also cost a fortune.
So I have decided to ship the bike back to Canada, and have it repaired at home, where I still have a nice extended warranty on the bike. :)
I'm currently working through all the custom hoops you have to jump through to get the bike on a boat back to Canada.
The nice folks at the BMW dealership have been incredibly helpful, and have provided me a shipping crate. I've arranged for a boat on the 30th of September, which will take 18 days to sail to Vancouver. I'll figure out when I get home how to get the bike from Vancouver to Calgary (shouldn't be a problem)
So that's it for now... The trip isn't really over until I get back, but the motorcycle adventure part is.
Crated up and ready for shipment home. |

Hi Tim,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the travel adventure has come to an end for now. All things considered, the bike has been a good friend to you and probably owes you nothing!!!!
Maybe the next adventure will be a wedding in Columbia!!!!! LOL
Take care and safe trip home.

The Stalker!!!! :)
