Bike prices on the increase.

[Streetwise]

As the NZ dollar drops we can all expect to pay more for bikes and parts, Dosnt that suck,

[Swoop]

New bike yes.
Old bike - hmmmmmm possibly not. '80's bike and people might give them away:lol:

[Streetwise]

60c on the us dollar,mmmmmmmmmmmm got to bad for the imports,. Any thing that is inported is going to increase so buy now,

[bugjuice]

they were complaining the dollar was too high a few months back.. ffs..

one thing you can count on, is no matter how high petrol and all things related to petrol (so everything) get with inflation, you won't have to worry about being called to the bosses office for that pay rise to reflect it

[Lou Girardin]

No price rises at AMPS yet. Just the opposite - big sale soon.

What "competition"? The Hardleys are bigger and have more torque than anyhting Deere and Ferguson produce!

Or were you thinking in terms of top speed? Coz you're probably right, in that respect...

We don't special bikes, not Suzuki dealers you see.

Well with the dollar dropping things must go up, yaaaaaaaa cheap houses, (yea Right)

You are obviously referring to farmers.

It rains = "It's a flood - give us money"
The sun comes out = "It's a drought - give us money"
The dollar goes up = "We can't compete - give us money"
The dollar drops "The country OWES US - give us more money"

:done:

[Streetwise]

mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what farmers got to do eith this ??

Looks like I got my HD order in just in time! :banana:
BTW you can put me up against a Massey Fergusson on Manfield whenever you like. Give me just ten laps and I wager that I can beat it by at least 5 seconds, and all without sounding like an angry mosquito with a harmonica up it arse.
And I'll thoroughly enjoy every hour of it. :finger:

Also there has been manuvering by a big company here in JApan, they are effectively controling the bike prices at Auction,
Its having knock on effects onnthe private market , you should see the prices for ...some crap ....I know its an Sp model sir ,,,but it a pile off dog doo.....

Mind you there still are bargains,

Just remember what the track will look like when you prepare to lap the Massey... LOTS of ploughed bits in the track from the ploughing implements at the arse end of the tractor!!!:crazy:

Not to mention what the track will look like after ten laps of the Hardley dropping bits...

And remember that the farmer is the only one who buys everything at retail;
sells everything at wholesale;
and pays the freight both ways.

That's cool, it should help me to control the wallowing if I'm stuck in a furrow.

Anyways it can't be any worse than what happens to the track when they race those stoopid effing trucks.

That's whats known as minimising weight. First rule of racing stoopid.

fuck off homo....you wouldn't have a clue!

[cowpoos]

its doesn't mean bike prices will rise acctually....it depends totally on the currency hedging policies the importers have...if they were clever they would have hedged 2-3 yrs ahead [maybe more]...but we'll soon see how smart they are or how greedy they are...they could just put prices up and blame the dollar and pocket bonus cash from the dollar difference due to smart hedging....or stay compeditive in a market that will dwindle more as the economy slows more and more.

[Streetwise]

Well it does make sence that anything inported wil rise as the dollar drops, Im pretty sure that its going to happen........ But im no economist so dont trust my words, lol.
