Default I really hope I never get cancer of the colon

If I do I'll have to apologise to a BMW owner for slagging off his bike. The conversation went along the lines of:

"I demand an apology"

"You won't get an apology out of me as long as I have a hole in my ar5e"

Oops, have I tempted fate?

Default Re: I really hope I never get cancer of the colon

Is there any sort of interesting story behind this or what? lol

So far my experience of BMWs,
K100 something T brick thingy, characterful torquey thing, not too fast, rattled a lot, terrifying handling due to rubber mounted bars but predictable when you got used to it. Would happily have one.
R1100RT, pile of vibrating sh*t with so-so handling, dull power delivery, no possible reason to ever bother, ever.
K1200GT, not ridden that one yet, report to come. Got a lift to the pub and it was really comfy though.*


*Even if we did nearly get knocked off by the west yorkshire police. Cheers you c***s!

Not at all.
BMW riders are worse than the bikes. I'm sure he deserved it.

I'm with Bananna Man they are bad. I've only met 2 guys with BMW's that were canny, as they ran round f650's and not the barges
