Gaaaack!! I just searched Bikepoint - you bought it from the Shark Brothers! They ripped me off too, Dude!

'Helpful'??!? They're helpful in the same way a shark is when he helps himself to your right leg for breakfast!

Haha, 4hundies don't have guts, the zx9's do

Apparently it's balls that make the 4's go fast

Mmm - soon find out I guess.
I got bent over by a dealer up north (Rodney Motorcycles) after they sold me a zx9 with a fucked head gasket, but that doesn't make a Kawasaki a shit bike- it makes me a dumass for not getting it checked out. Didn't matter too much, cos I run them through court and fucked them in the ass back good and proper - to say the least.

Mebbe not.

The bike is probably a goodun. Mine is, but the Shark Bros left me with a sour taste in my mouth, and a strong desire to never, ever spend a single cent in their shark tank again, even if it means riding to Hamilton or summat to get Honda-related stuff done.

Good customer service, eh? Make trying to make as many shekels as possible your driving force, at the cost of pissing people off and losing them as customers.

Fair enough - I'll let time be the decider on that.

If no one went back to any shop that any person had a bad experience with.......

:spudwhat:

...... we'd all be walking.

And that would suck.
Appreciate the heads up though.

Or....
They'd get the message and do summat about being so farking mercenary.
At least you've got a good bike; you may well have paid too much for it, but you were happy to do so, so that's irrelevant.
But they can't go, "BendOverBecauseHereItComesAgain!" to me (again), because I've learned my lesson.

I'd rather have the money, though....

Sounds like you got fisted - I think I remember reading a big heart to heart " i'm giving up motorcycling " story on here a while back. Was that you?

Didn't take rocket science for me to tell the dealer to (sorry WT) get that suzuki piece of shit out of here

So I was in before I know it signing the blue papers, and an nc30 is mine

Another person who has seen the light...

Nice Matt, that ZX9 was a bit of a lemon, good to see you flicked it. The VFR looks pretty sweet (for a honda n all ya know).
You best start getting bloody fast on that thing, as i don't wanna ride by myself

.
Swing by work sometime next weekend.
