They're loaning me a similar cc'ed bike the weekend after next so I'll practice on that until my 636 arrives. I'm always the optimist and can find the good in anything

Means I can save a wee bit more $$ for a new helmet & gear.

good on you deb.
i really believe that in most situations - stress is a choice.
i can chose to let t piss me off - or look on the bright side.

You mean it's not just Kiwi's snapping these things up like crazy. Go figure... hehe

That many people can't be wrong. Obviously it's a brilliant bike, and you'll be supremely happy with it when it does finally arrive.

On to more pressing issues...

What's the loaner?

**DebK** · 28th April 2005, 20:55

Hopefully not an aff-man "special loaner"!

I have no idea at this stage.

Totally altruistic, too.

Does that halo seem to be slipping?

So no Kawasaki dealer in New Zealand has a ZX6R on the floor? Really??

Sorry to hear about the further delay on the new toy Deb, can only strengthen your patience virtue.

You should still ask firmly (but nicely) for some compensation considering the three let-downs you've had! A principle I often live by is "you don't get if you don't ask".

Ps. I'm really sure it'll be worth the wait.

just wait at their doorstep every morning and say ' (in a moaning voice) is it here yet' and walk around the shop till somebody gives you a decent answer.

Pre-sold. A mate of mine bought their demonstrator while it was being delivered about 3 months ago.

I was talking to Brendan at Motorad before he went off to do the Silkriders thing, and he said he'd never seen anything like the way the 05 636 is selling itself.

In April 2003 I expected my WR450 to arrive. It finally arrived in July. The reason - bloody Australians - Our bikes come from there and had to be ADR'd plus they were the biggest selling bike in Australia so we had to wait for the supply to trickle through to NZ.
