    Here's a photo of Rob from when he just got his Beemer...sums up the typical BMW rider quite well I think

I guess one lesson is that when calling the AA to rescue someone out in the wops, demand a call back to confirm that they have actually despatched someone.

    Personally I gave up on the AA after I had twice fixed my own vehicle on the side of the road before the breakdown contractor arrived on the scene.

    Best of luck with the repair, fingers crossed it's something cheap.

    Yea I had the same problem, partners CV joint slipped out as we pulled out of a parking lot. AA said he was 15 mintues away. couple hours later he turns up. then says it too big a job to fix in the parking lot and needs to be towed home.. another two hours later after half an hour quoted. Get home and it takes me half an hour to slip back in...

    AA is not worth it....

    I have been thinking the same, but am most impressed that they came out the Motu Road to pick him and his Bike up - all beit after a lengthy wait on the road side.

    Am starting to wonder what I have got myself in for by buying a BMW though.

    I guess that is why you pay them.
    Thinking about AA plus now that I don't qualify for Honda Riders Club - their rescue has helped a few people I could name.

    Good luck with the fix.

    I have a few people I could call on with a trailer or van. Sounds like a few would of helped you and prob got there quicker.

    Whats an AA membership? $80 odd bucks?

    Thanks for the offer. Compared to the drama I went through in May 08 (see gunnyrobs beemer breaks again) this episode went waaaay smoother. I highly recommend aa+
