This has probably been discussed as nauseam but I thought it easier to start my own thread ...
My R1150GS is 20 years old and I'll never sell or part-ex it.
I recall reading somewhere that breakdown providers are in some cases refusing to repatriate older/lower value bikes in the event of a breakdown in Europe, preferring to write the bike off instead.
I've considered getting a second new bike and I've test ridden a few (R1250RT, Suzuki GSX 1000ST) but I am a GS man at heart and will keep coming back to the marque. Indeed, after the test rides I've ridden home on my 1150 thinking how much I prefer it so it seems daft to have two GSes in the garage. Not to mention expensive.
So after all that, a simple question really:Is there a breakdown provider who will guarantee to repatriate to the UK from continental Europe?
TIA ...
