FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A ROAD SIDE PARK NEARBY.  WE PULLED IN AND WATCHED THE OIL RUN OUT ON THE GROUND FROM THE DRIVE.  WHILE TRYING TO GET THE BIKE ON A TRAILER, THE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP.  IF THAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING, SINCE GOING INTO A SKID ON A MOTORCYCLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.  THE COST TO HAVE THIS BEARING REPLACED WAS ALMOST $700.  GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US AND KEPT US FROM HAVING ANY INJURIES FROM THIS FAILURE.  I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM WITH THE K12LT'S.  IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF BMW'S BIKES.  AT EVERY BMW RALLY, ONE OR MORE PEOPLE HAVE THIS BEARING GO OUT EITHER GOING TO OR COMING FROM THE RALLY.  BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE IT AND ACT LIKE IT DOESN'T EXIST.  IN FACT, THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE NEW MOTORCYCLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.  IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE THAN THEY ARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORCYCLE RIDING PUBLIC.  I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE BEARING FAILURE CAUSES THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHILE SOMEONE IS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"K1200LT","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
