- In this video web will tell the first part of the story of how our BMW R1300GS came to break down in Portugal and what it was like dealing with BMW international Assist.
There will be a further video dealing with what the fault with the bike was and how we have got on with our complaints to BMW etc

It feels wrong doing a "Thumbs up" - But - "All Hail The Algorithm" ...
Poor Mark.
I am not going to defend Portugal here ; since I have experienced many of the "office / paperwork" problems myself - and am used to the Weekend problem (although I would say that is historically exactly what the UK was like 'n ' numbers of years ago... Many countries are still the same that way - 5 working days : and that's it. + add the "talvez amanhã" and it is next to impossible to rush anything... )
I am glad to see the whole video (I have been waiting for this to drop ) - a lot of the story is now fully told :-)
The Taxi ride to Porto sounds fun - Portugal does not have many big Theme parks to get your "scary ride" fix - But apparently you can get the mobile version ;-)
(I should not joke about that because it sounded literally life threatening)
Part two is being awaited with Antici ... 👄.... pation ...
Thumbs up appreciated :) It does make quite a tale, even if it’s a sob story!
@@whojamaflip1 Not really a 'sob story' - a set of 'snafus' that would drive most normal people insane. Since Insurance companies rely on stuff "not happening" as a business model (and that is what BMW Assist is - Bolt on Insurance) - they put together plans that are rarely tested : I wonder how many times BMW have had to recover a bike from PT - Probably could count on one hand.. ? ... (perhaps)
@Flub-A-Dub the policy covers both bikes and cars, and the office in UK definitely knew their Portugal counterparts were rubbish….so Allianz should have enough info to deal with their agents.
As for sending you insane…..as you say, for a normal person it’s a problem. But for Mark….perhaps a tad too late????
