I worked in Seattle for a few days where I bought a '93 K1100RS to ride home during the last two weeks of July. I got to Medford, OR - where I had to replace the fuel pump, filter and the rear brake cylinder. Hansen's BMW Motorsports took me in even though they were booked, ordered the fuel filter which turned out to be defective. They were amazed since they couldn't remember returning a part to BMW before. They ordered another one on a Friday at 3 pm - it arrived at 11 am on Saturday and I was off again by 1 pm! This may sound like a painful time BUT IT WAS NOT! Hansen's was incredible! Craig Hansen and his family did everything for me to make my journey delightful including taking me to and picking me up from the hotel!
This bike is incredible on the highway! I do remember reading about the heat from the flying brick and at one point was a bit worried...but then checked my phone only to find I was riding in 106 degree weather in the Northern portion of California.
All in all - it was a great trip!
I am ready for another one!!!! But right now I will ream insights to the bike from this forum!
Thank you all.
