Problems!

Heavy rain overnight and at 7.00 am we were lying in the tent thinking we wouldn't be moving on today when there was an almighty thump from outside. LB's bike had fallen over. He'd left it on the centre stand with the side stand extended, on grass.It had obviously sunk in and the side stand eventually pushed it over. The screen was broken and the mounting for the front brake lever and brake fluid reservoir snapped clean off.



We've cable tied the brake back on & think it's rideable. We're now waiting for the rain to ease off for a trial run around the block & if it's ok will venture across town to the BMW dealer. Looks like we're going to be in Budapest for longer than planned as they're likely to have to order the parts. B*gger!

What bad luck! At least you have your computer and so can find out where the local BMW dealerships are in the comfort of your tepee!

Fingers crossed they have the parts in stock (or can you bribe them to take the necessary bits off one of their stock bikes so you don't have to wait for them to order them in?!)

I hope you are back on the road again soon!
