You're kidding right? The only thing the NZ motorcycle industry is concerned with is selling new bikes. End of story.

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO READILY GET IT IN NZ, 4 MILLION PEOPLE AND A HIGH PROPORTION OF THEM ON WELFARE ( SORRY, INCOME SUPPORT ) MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND TOO FEW CONSUMERS IN THIS COUNTRY TO ECONOMICALLY JUSTIFY STOCKING THEM ALL. LEGITIMATE IMPORTERS HAVE TO PAY THE FULL WHACK OF GREEDY SOCIALIST TAX AND CLEARANCE CHARGES AND IT IS A REAL ANOMALY THAT PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS DONT GET NAILED IN THE SAME WAY.
FRANKLY, YOU AND YOUR TYPE MAKE ME SICK.

Dude do you like living up to your name and not saving money?

FRANKLY, YOU AND YOUR TYPE MAKE ME SICK.

I am appalled at this very personal attack. I can only hope it was in jest or you are some sort of loser that has nothing better to do than wind people up.

You know nothing about me or the sitution I was in. I tried about 5 different NZ suppliers and local bike shops when looking for this particular exhaust, or something that would do the job. None could help.
Those that did bother to respond to my requests all said they could not supply it and one actually suggested I buy online myself. Cycletreads.
Local bike shop would only sell me a Sportster muffler but I was told I'd have to buy 2 as they come in pairs - and then modify it in same way to fit, whereas the Jardine is designed to bolt straight on and is purpose built for the bike.

I also approached a local muffler manufacturer who told me that they did not supply exhausts for Cruisers, that I could wait a few months as they were looking to prototype one and when they did it would not be Chrome, but stainless steel and cost around $1000.

As for supporting local industry, I have bought 3 bikes thru 1 local bike shop, and one from another. Have purchased lots of goods online from Motomail. I have had seat modified by McDonalds and I always try and source locally.

And finally the local bike shop will benefit from me paying them to fit the exhaust and filter as well all the other work I am having done.

Like your buddies who have also recently posted you just dont get the big picture, AT ALL. Your collective shallow thoughts in no small way exacerbate this whole buying offshore problem. Poor service??? Well you guys are helping to exacerbate it. Less revenue available to employ quality staff because of squeezed margins and greater tax and compliance burden on those poor souls who struggle to keep up with appalling workloads and stress..you guys are helping to create it. 600 or more New Zealanders leaving for Australia every week.

This forum is too often a vehicle for slagging dealers. Much of it may be justified but where serious mud slinging is not justified how does the dealer defend himself? Given only one side of the story it is just amazing how so many jump on the slagging bandwagon and start using catch crys such as ''small claims'', a mechanism that all too often is just as notorious as the DPB or grievance claims....to that end I might also use the word appalling.

And to shallowly say ''The only thing the NZ motorcycle industry is concerned with is selling new bikes'' is about as credible as Bill Clinton stating ''I did not have sex with that woman''

It is in fact you guys who are the real losers, in the end. Will you guys be here to turn the lights out or are you going to eventually bail offshore as well because of the conditions you are helping to create?

By the way my business is doing very nicely thankyou and would be able to employ more staff at better rates of pay if we had a more enlightened tax regime. That would be a positive....but reading your dull ill thought ramblings highlights the negatives.

[CLEAN CUT]

1) Customs, shipping, internet service providers... maybe he gets better service from them, and he's happier keeping them employed...

2) It's an exhaust... steel tubing, and a K&N filter, a piece of mesh gauze (essentially). What exactly do you predict to go wrong with either of those parts? Any exhaust shop mug with a mig can fix a leak in that...

3) Fraud? lol... yes, that's right, parallel importing is fraud...

4) The NZ motorcycle industry is selling plenty of bikes, they're doing fine according to the trade papers that cross my desk at work once a month, perhaps it's only your business that has nails in the coffin?

So he can't get it in NZ, and can buy it cheaper from the States, with better delivery times, and you think he should buy it in NZ?

Frankly, you and your type make me laugh.

If you are only riding a 9 year old Kwaka that kinda may indicate how many nails are in your business coffin????

And you are riding......?

[mstriumph]

actually a nine year old Kwaka [his] would appear to beat no bike at all [yours] ?.............

just a thought

[skidMark]

his big words confuse me and i think hes winjas alter someone get ride of him lol

[CLEAN CUT]

And you are riding......?

Thats hardly the point, but I could choose to venture out on the roads again on a brand spanker were it not for the wobbly unstable Jap import cars with brain dead drivers that litter our roads. You would also be riding a newer bike if you didnt pay so much tax and your wages werent kept artificially low. For such reasons the average age of motorcycles in NZ is appallingly old and frankly many of these are unsafe, the wof standards are frankly a croc.

Goodnight

[onearmedbandit]

Just happens to be trading that '9yr old Kawasaki' in for a brand new thou, seems to be doing pretty well myself. No doubt he would have done it earlier this year but he just paid for a wedding and bought a house.

[Virago]

.....You would also be riding a newer bike if you didnt pay so much tax and your wages werent kept artificially low.....

You seem to know a lot about us all....not. I don't earn wages, but I will clear close to six figures out of my business this year. I'm happy with my 16 year old Yamaha. And you're happy being a bikeless troll.....

See guys, I'm not so bad after all.

Clean Cut mate, if you're going to bed you forgot to turn the light off - you're still online.

I've just finished re-reading The Hobbit - apparently trolls must be safely out of sight before first light, or they turn to stone....

Fucking LOL!!!
It is because of the inherent poor service in the automotive sales and service industry in this country that offshore transactions occur.
The person who started the thread could not get satisfation locally because the businesses dealt with couldn't be fucked with the hassle of the extra work involved with import on a relatively low value transaction.
So people go elsewhere to get satisfaction because cunts like you are after the quick buck and couldn't give a shit about customer service if there isn't a big margin in it.

If you look after your customers they will look after you. So I hope you "clean cut" your losses when you business fails due to your fucked up attitude.

Like your buddies who have also recently posted you just dont get the big picture, AT ALL.

It's you who doesn't get the big picture. Thanks to the Internet we now have a worldwide choice on where to spend our money and I will go where ever I get the products I want, the best service and the best value for money. That may or may not be NZ.
