Just bought my first big bike today.
A black Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr from Pete at Wellington Motorcycles.
I'm finding it hard to keep the smile off my face, and I have no feeling of shame whatsoever for cheating on my NV400SP. Out she goes....

So hi to all the Welly riders out there. You'll see (and hear) me most days around town.

Congrats blackflag.

I checked that one out but decided to go with the 750 instead due to the mileage being easier on the pocket.

Enjoy!

I'm sure I've seen 'that' one around town too, a couple of times... it's rale purdy... No, not you Pete - the bike.

20th October 2006, 19:52
That's how I made it 'purdy'....by sitting on it

You must make alot of people feel good! You at work tomorrow? I may just have to pop in for a coffee...

Yeah mate....I never tire of seeing huge grins on customers faces, that's what makes the 'awkward' ones to deal with inconsequential.
Coffee on! Got a couple of nice new demos for you to try out if you've got the time. Do you know we've extended our hours?
We're there till 3 if you need a sleep in!

Now, now.. there'll be none of that tempting me... I've got another 23 months before I start whining about getting an upgrade. Ok, I told her it'd be alot longer than that... but I didn't say how long ... (or short)

Crasherfromwayback
20th October 2006, 20:18
All bullshit aside mate, that's not how I see demos! (Don't tell my boss)

Apart from big 'demo days', he'd rather they only get ridden by 'serious punters'. I like as many people as poss to ride them even if they're nowhere near ready to buy. For the price of a bit of '98'....if the experience is postive, the word of mouth to your riding friends is fucking cheap advertising!

Ride them. I do, and I don't need to buy one.

Of course you do!! I mean I have to come in, in person, to get my price queries answered!

lol....nah...I never do!
Sorry mate, you must've thought I was a really slack bastard! I should've highlighted the prices! I sent you the prices back within an hour of your email to me at work.

What a bunch of GC's! Thanks heaps for the feedback guys. I'm loving that bike more and more each day. Have to go downstairs and sit on it sometimes just to make sure its really there.
Next Welly KB crew ride, I'm there.
