Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

Yeah. The party was great. Lotsa champagen, good food, surrounded by stunning machines and a few stunning girls as well. What more could you ask for? Congrats to Auto Atlantic. Great Job.

AUTO ATLANTIC is DEAD! Long Live - ALANTIC MOTORRAD, (somebody had to say it :-) )

oops my bad. Long live Atlantic Motorrad!

Shees what did you guys buy.....must have been GSA's.... I only bought a 1200GS plus ALL the gear 3 weeks ago and organized the sale of a Dakar too and I didn't crack the nod

Sorry to hear about that John. But possibly there was a cut off list and 'some made it and some did not'. But please get a bunch of your friends togther and go see that show, you will have twice as much fun!!!(just not on a weekday hey!)

Yip John, dont feel bad, full-house Dakar and full-house 1200GSA (and organising sale of 650GS and full-house 1200GS)didn't crack it... Maybe its becuase I dont own a tie... Dont worry Wayne, Dave and the rest, we understand.

R122 000, also did not do it for me, and yes we understand? I wonder if we'll get stickers for Toy Run?

Maybe this is why riders of Chinese scooters don't like the BM crowd. Never heard of one of them complaining about not getting a free milkshake at the Wimpy for buying the top of the range model. C'mon guys, for every event there are those who get invited and those who don't. Why must you bring in the "ya but I spend so much and so much and did not get invited" thing into the equation? You got what you have paid for, didn't you? I guess my chances of getting a PR position in BMW Motorrad is zero now? I believe I can fly!

Yes thanks Atlantic Motorrad the evening was really great and as for rock revolution.............AWESOME I will post some pics soon. Wayne and the sales staff congrats on your best month EVER in sales......WELL Deserved

Basset, yes your chances of a PR position at BM are probably zero. Being a business owner myself I generally tend to look after my clients, especially new ones that I am trying to build a relationship with, I make them feel special and try and include them in anything we do so that they start to feel like part of the 'family' If I had bought a 3 series BM(and I do own one) I would not be expected to be invited to a launch as I would be one of a hundred thousand other people driving the same car and clearly they would need a HUGE venue to invite all those new clients. But.... buying a BMW bike is buying into a culture, joining the club, etc etc, it's a lifestyle, and therefore I would feel it important to make my new clients feel like part of the family. It's not about the money...really Just my opinion

Basset, wanneer jy die ouens op die forum leer ken, en saam met hulle ry, sal jy kan optel wanneer kommentaar lighartig is. Ek het kliente regoor Suider Afrika en sommige in die buiteland - as ek 'n funksie aanbied is daar geen manier hoe ek almal kan inpas nie - that's life.

It is impossible to invite everyone that has bought bikes from Atlantic. The people varied from 1st time buyers to guys that has bought their 6th bike from Atlantic. You win some and you loose some, I am sure that they did not work on the principle of like or dislike the person ito ivinting or not inviting the person to the opening. It's not all about the money either. Tough one though as I am sure that a person might feel a bit.....can't find the word - if he or she after having bought a bike from Atlantic get to hear that there was a launch party and that he/she was not invited. I still DIG Atlantic ! Keep it SAFE !!

Lying at home on my back - this is the first I heard of the party, I would not have been able to go but it would have been nice to say "no thank you" - hey you GS groupies not all RT owners were invited either - congrats on your "best month ever" I assume it included my RT

I found out by accident that my invite that had been sent by email got lost in transit. So Gillian sent another one and it all worked out fine (for me at least). Perhaps there was a loss of email invites. I noticed the invite was a word document, and I know that mweb and co just drop emails with such attachments without notifying sender or receiver. Don't mind-read. Don't assume. If anything, you were all invited but a gremlin ate some of the invites. Take last Valentine's day for example. Some rogue passing my house early in the morning swiped all my Valentine's cards out of my letterbox ;-)

Yes Charles, I know the feeling!
