BMW Recalls 2008 F800 GS Motorcycles for Axle Shaft Problem
BMW has issued a recall of certain 2008 F800 GS motorcycles.
The axle shaft wall thickness may not have been manufactured according to specifications. If the wall thickness was not sufficient, the axle shaft could deform and could break increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW has not announced the number of units in the recall.
Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.
Motorcycle Route Planning
Another great tool for planning your motorcycle trips is Google maps.
It's a free service and here I am using it to plan out a five day trip down to Kalispel Montana, Coeur D'Alene Idaho and points beyond.
We may or may not follow the route as planned out but gives us a general idea of where we want to go and how to get there. It also has the the benefit of telling you the mileage and time involved in the journey.
The days of pouring over paper maps is over and one doesn't have to go out and buy the latest in GPS technology to find your way around the world.
