Hey guys whilst listening to Gareth & Jo Morgan tonite they mentioned about Jo's suspension breaking on her BMW. (sorry I'm assuming it was a BMW they travelled thru Africa on since it has been their last adventure mounts). They reckoned it was because she was so light that something or rather happened...
Now after watching Charlie & Ewan change a million shocks on their trip thru Africa I am wondering if it is a common occurence on BMWs or is it a problem on most adventure bikes.
Sure the roads are bumpy, rutted or nonexistent but surely with technology how it is they could design a shock that would last, well, nearly forever...
Not intending this to be a BMW slagging thread so roll down your shirtsleeves, just curious...:rolleyes:
