That's not good. Hope it doesn't take too long and you get to enjoy the rest of your trip.

Nice place, Prague.

Quality.

Many years past we were on our way to Paul Ricard.

Just over half way there a mates RS bust the gear box so we camped in a field near a bar come restaurant and spent 3 days rebuilding it.

All with the tools we carried oh happy days

Without the bar nearby it would've taken 2 hours.

Got it sorted out yesterday. Most difficult part was getting the outer race out of its seat. I managed to wiggle an allen key from The mouth side and hammer it out.
Excellent service from The BMW dealer! Parts counter guy says: we got four bearings here, but they are ordered by somebody else. We have to place a new order and it'll be two days.
He understands that I'm not happy at all with that. I'll see what i can do He says. Goes away to talk to somebody and returns with two bearings!

Today i visited Sedlec ossuary:

Observant of you! Yes, I'm on the K100. Still having a starting problem on the BCR. Last thing I need is a dead battery somewhere in rural eastern europe where nobody speaks english.
