Big Problems

I am scheduled to go to Iceland on Tuesday, but my four month old Hyperpro rear shock has failed. My options are limited at the moment. I can get the shock removed and sent to Denmark to be repaired, but it will take a while. I am currently searching for options, but fear they are limited. If this delays me too long, I might have to through off going to Iceland all together. This will be a huge disappointment since it one of the crown jewels of my trip. I now feel it would have been better to keep the stock shock on for Russia to Europe, since if it failed BMW would have had to replace it under warranty and it would have been much quicker to simply get a new one than to wait for a repair.

In short, the part of this trip I have most look forward to now hangs by a thread while I search for options.
