The damage? body : pipe - toeclip (the right one) - handlebar - airfilterbox - hidetumblers - …
I'll be back in the area 1rst of april.
Does anyone have a good address around Los Angeles ?

Thank you

Is he looking for a dealer? BMW of Ventura County is very near by Thousand Oaks. (I have no experience with them other than some friends of mine there say that they are a reasonable place to go.)

I can not read a word on his blog. But the pictures say it all. What a talented photographer!!!!

I'm nearby to Thousand Oaks and in contact with Marc by email. BMW of VC is most definitely open for business as I have written to Marc. I'm waiting for a reply as to the location of his damaged GS and to see if I can help in some way.

(Note: I normally hang out on http://bmwsporttouring.com/ where this topic is also posted.)
