November 2nd (dia treinta y tres) - Houston, we don't have a problem! Prepare for launch!
Despite my feelings about some of the poorly designed aspects of my bike, I cannot say that the BMW service is anything but exceptional! Taken in once again, my family at BMW has quickly jumped to the rescue, instant service to a traveller in distress.
Fortunately for me, they did not find any problems -- the noise just being some loose part from the multiple accidents I had during the Copper Canyon. After taking the bike apart myself, I must have screwed in something that solved this problem. Either way, it is comforting to know that BMW has given me the OK to proceed with my ride home.
Unforunately for me, they could not do anything about my bent and beat up handle bars so I will have to endure for the ride home. Not so difficult a challenge after what I've already accomplished, but nevertheless I hope I don't suffer from any long term damage down the road (ie: carpal tunnel syndrome.)
Shopping for prices for a U-haul or a truck to cart the bikes back is no longer an option as it's much too expensive and just not necessary anymore. Going to be some long, hard riding days ahead, but we are up to any challenge!
Not spending too much time resting either, Dru took us out for a great dinner that promises to give us much energy for the next day and after relaxing a bit watching a movie, it's lights out and an early morning despite how badly I'd love to stay, time has run out for these adventurers.
