Busby Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well the bike was due to arrive last week but didn't show up Good news is that it has been showing as being "build complete" for a few weeks now so hopefully it will show up before the weather breaks. I shall get some pictures up as soon as I have her in my clutches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 You must to itching to get it especially with this weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 The weather is bound to turn as soon as it arrives! It's been torturous having the weather be so good and not having a bike to ride. I am beginning to wish that I'd arranged to go and collect it from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Saw one at a trackday a few weeks ago.... its a beaut. The owner was beaming.... you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I posted about the HP4 Carbon a while back. Incredible machine. Few bikes turn my heads these days, but this is something altogether different. The figures and design are blinding. Have you gone for blue, white or black? I adore the blue. I also love the fact there are only 3 options. Must be a first for a BMW! Yum. Edited July 15, 2013 by MrMe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I've got the blue and white - exactly as your picture. I think the HP4/HP4 Carbon only comes in the blue and white although one owner has wrapped their bike with a black/white colour scheme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Def prefer the blue like the show bike at the Excel show. Gotta love the carbon bling (yep I know it's a big pic ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I much prefer the blue too - it's really bright in the flesh and pops out at you. I think the guy that has wrapped his with the black has made it look a bit dull! First job will be getting it data tagged once I get home and then shouting for a while at the sticker kit because they won't go on straight!

Busby Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Moved to next week now :mad: It's been built for over three weeks now and is apparently still in Germany. How hard can it be to put it in a box and send it over?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Built ... but maybe missing the nice carbon add ons. That was the reason BMW were giving a few months back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Built ... but maybe missing the nice carbon add ons. That was the reason BMW were giving a few months back. They tell me it is showing as completed and ready to ship. The other guy that had one from the same dealer but ordered before me had his a few days after it showed as that status. When is the rain due? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just checked the forecast and it says rain is due : "delivery day + 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's probably about right. I reckon I must be at the stage to start asking for some free stuff now but can't really think what I can try and blag off them - the first service for free was part of the deal we did so maybe I should ask for the second one too.

Busby Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Matching leathers That reminds me of a German fella on You Tube who has a HP4 and matching BMW leathers. Truly appalling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's like all the GS riding Ewan McGregor wanna be's in their BMW textiles and all the aluminium panniers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What is it with these people and those huge panniers? Fair enough if you are travelling around Europe but surely they are nothing but a nuisance on a normal ride/commute? FFS take them off and just attach them when you actually need them. It's akin to driving your car with two empty suitcases in the boot all of the time - idiots, the lot of 'em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 So, two days after the "Big Ouch" http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/kneesliders/140311-big-ouch.html and look what has finally arrived. Ventureshield and some other goodies getting fitted early next week for me to collect on Thursday :grin::grin::grin::grin: They kindly took a load of pictures of it coming out of the crate when it first arrived too.
