HELP from Cairo or Lisbon area BMW enthusiast, PLEASE!

Post by rufusxs »

Help! Is anyone here from the Lisbon area? I'm flying through on Monday, and will be staying over on Monday evening. I want to get 2 of the new System 5 helmets with BlueTooth (which aren't available here in the States except as Schuberth Concept 2's, which aren't quite the same thing as the System V's).

Anyway, for a stupid reason (see below if you care to know why, and all I have to say regarding my own decisions is: DOH!!!!!) , I'm now forced to go through Lisbon, and I can't seem to find a Motorrad listed there on BMW's website. They're only showing Spain!

Can anyone tell me where I can find a Motorrad in Lisbon and also please provide the contact info so that I can get everything all set? It would be a HUGE help, and I'd be much obliged.

The other option is Cairo, because the jet's range isn't far enough to get to where we're going with stopping once more for fuel, and Cairo is what's on the flight plan, so I might have a couple of hours there (although I'm a bit leary about doing that type of business there due to the lack of EU or US style business controls, and it is a safety issue, so I'd much prefer Lisbon).

If you can help, please contact me at [email protected]

Thanks!

The Reason for the Mix-up in Travel plans:

We were originally going to fly through Prague, but I had our pilot re-file the flight plan to Madrid because I thought that it would be easier to get to a Motorrad on time due to the shorter flight from the US, but he chose Lisbon because he's going to swap with another pilot and co-pilot at that time. Anyway, I could have gotten the helmets in Prague, but now the flight plan is set and he won't change it again because finding a new crew at this late date to take over from Prague will not be possible. DOH!!!

You have enough money to own (or at least control) your own jet and you can't get a Helmet mailed to you from Europe????


or are you hitching a ride on the Boss's playtoy... ;)

I can tell you the only BMW with 2 wheels you can get in Egypt (from a dealership anyway) is one that is awaiting the 2 others that fell off...motorbikes over there are for the VERY brave. I can attest to this as I have visited many times..

In Lisbon, perhaps.. the BMW Motorrad site lists the bikes for sale. If I was you I would email BMW Customer Services and have them find a dealer and check availability for you..

If you cant be bothered with all of that I would go the route of Rice Burners suggestion and order one on line from a mob like SPC in the UK.
