I don't. I ride a BMW. But that's about to come to an end.

Why?

Rancor toward the company. They've put two successive dealerships in our
area out of business within the past 4 years. They essentially set them up
to fail. Their corporate expectations for dealerships are unrealistic,
placing the dealer in a barely workable situation during excellent economic
times, and in an unworkable situation during less-than-ideal economic times.
So now we once again have no dealership in our area. Owners in my area must
now travel 150 miles or more to get their bikes serviced. And BMW USA
couldn't give a rat's ass.

While on the subject of BMW, have you seen the truly ugly cars BMW has been
turning out from the drawing board of Chris Bangle (Bungle)? No doubt our
current 323Ci will be the last BMW auto we own as well.
