Yeah we do know the difference :grin2: was easy for us to look at the OP's profile and see he had an LC.
On the subject of BMW acting appropriately, they initially denied responsibility and as per the video the accident victim got no sympathy from them, they didn't pay his medical costs or give him a new GS for instance, instead implying the bike was being used wrongly even though it was a mature rider traveling at only 45kph when his front end fell apart. I guess of course they weren't going to accept blame if they could get away with it but in the end they had to come to the party after exposure through the internet caused an outcry.
Harley Davidson tried the same sidestep when the "Harley death wobble" finally hit the news after an CHP cop was killed riding one, by that time they had already fobbed off numerous accident victims saying they were misusing their bikes. There's some vids on the tube of Ultraglides and road kings doing massive tankslappers - great entertainment!
