This story ran in a USA BMW Magazine who refuses to release more information. Perhaps they just made it up?
BETTINA GLOVER was riding in Borneo when an Orangutang snatched her from her R100GS. Bicyclists helped drive away the beast from her person, and she rode on unhurt. Only she later did she learn (sic) that male Orangs have been known to rape women!
