    the Yen has not come back up as far, and the Euro is a lot more stable so i think bike prices will nto drop that much for most of the brands, Harley might come down you would think,

    alot of gear comes in US $$, so that price should dop although it will take a few months to filter though,

    Maybe I should sell up and move to blighty for a year and when it all goes back to normal ($3 to the pound) move back to Neu Zillund....
    Ah Yes im the same. Put everything I had into pounds when it was $2.50 to the pound thinking mean, quick 15% return, but nooooo it dropped more and more and more and more.

    So common' Kiwi dollar, start failing as you usually do

    Yeah, I'm happy to support my local retailers. They've looked after me extremely well! I was just wondering if the shops will benefit more now or the money just ends up with the wholesaler. Sales should also hopefully be on the up heading into summer (if we can see the sun for more than a day) and now that the recession is technically over

    Maybe now is a good time to order a Stebel horn from the US.

    Also it would be a sh*t-load faster. After waiting for over a month (edit, almost 2) for parts supply through the NZ channels...

    It's not cos our dollar is worth anything, just that the US dollar is falling through the floor. When the oil-exporting countries move to other currencies other than the US dollar for oil, then it (the greenback) is going to fall even further.
    Then stuff will get really cheap.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I wish the dealerships would learn that the rest of the world can supply faster than their local systems.

    The Thing to remember also that the people supplying are exporting in the USD also and may be getting less for it on there local cross rate markets so likely they will be putting pricing up...........possibly
    Ive run out of fucks to give
