Good Morning Mr. Shalvis:

Thank you for your comments in respect to the retailers. Your email has been forwarded to the Retail Development Group who will be able to elaborate more on this.

Thanks again and have a nice day.

Kind Regards,

You people are nuts for closing these dealerships.These shops like LINDERS are the ones that got you through hard times. And you have nerve to talk about tradition.We don't have enough dealers let alone you people closing the ones that will not kiss your coroperate asses. Most BM RIDERS love THESE DEALERS AS THEY KNOW THEM PERSONALLY AND MEET THERE NEEDS.Your company does not have a clue as to run a business.AND I SPEAK LIKE ALOT OF FAITHFUL BMW RIDERS OUT THERE YOU MAKE US SICK!!

Why do I get the feeling that the response from the Retail Development Group will be something like "kiss our corporate ass."?

I like the intent tho.

I agree somewhat with your sentiments although the two dealers in Denver that were forced to reorganize have improved in the process.

I only hope the spelling and grammatical mistakes don't detract from the legitimacy of your message.

BMW has been on the HD path for years. Forget it. Buy a Guzzi.

Pep- Avoid Alamo BMW like a hooker with crabs! Thats the dealership that I bought my bike from. The techs are clueless and the parts/service guy is even worse.
Rhine West in San Antonio is where most everybody takes their BMW moto. If you need warranty work Lone Star in Austin is the way to go.
Let me know when you move and we'll go ridin'.

Fort Davis? Are you going to become some sort of white seperatist or something?

Lots of great roads aroung Ft. Dave.

Fort Davis? Near the Observatory? The garlic mashed potatoes and cream pies at the Limpia Hotel are quite spectacular. Thus ends my knowledge of the Ft. Davis area...... :)

As much as I hate to agree with you.... the road from Terlingua to Presidio is fantastic, continuing on th Marfa is even better.
I'll be out riding in that area on the 31st of March.

Ever ridden the River Road in the park? I'm thinking about doing that as well.
