After reading all the comments on KB I was thinking you were some kind of barista.

That's my sideline business mate.

Keep the personal insults out of the thread, and try to keep it on some semblance of the topic.

your mother swims out to troop ships

[Crasherfromwayback]

True that.

I do cringe when I read people whinging about prices and industry in NZ, and I suspect most of then have never lived any reasonable tine anywhere else.


More to come this year guys, you can quote me on that.

I worked in the industry in Brisbane for two years...and it's certainly no better over there. Just too fucking hot to ride mid summer. That's handy.

Yep I agree. Gonna be more shops go down yet.

seen the price of water lately?

It's free. it comes from the sky.
If you want to pay someone to put it in a nice plastic bottle then fine but the water is free.

i will REALLY miss you,as you seem so nice

in my experience people start insulting others when they run out of anything intelligent to say,

some run out earlier than others

Judging by the comments I've received about you, I won't be the only one you miss.

Also, if you had anything intelligent to say you certainly didn't say it.

Guess the Japanese need to start building interesting bikes again - too much ho-hum of the same thing for the past 4 -5 years. Build something exciting please.

They have/did....
Suzuki... The B King, Gladius,
Yamaha V max, MT-01

Four 'different' bikes both visually and performance wise..... none managed to capture large sales volumes, even the mighty V max only sells in small numbers each year.
Those of us who do subscribe to a slightly 'unusual' stlye of bike are always going to be 'oddities'... Classic example of this attitude to something 'different' has be perfectly displayed here in KB, whenever the Can Am is mentioned........
A product that immediately brings forth the 'open minded viewpoint' of the masses.

There has been some merging going on & the title of this thread has changed. It might be nice if Haldanes was spelled correctly.

Yes, it is rather disrespectful to the aforementioned (ex) establishment.

Also, thank you Mr Madness for the monkey bike article.

Whoa there, I understand you're pissed off with the bike shop but there was no intention to get at you.

If you look at the previous threads about respect etc, it was about that and like others, who posted, a joke. I don't see you hassling Madness by the way.

Did you get your bike sorted?

It's not going to get any better when twats keep buying stuff on the net from overseas for small personal financial gains.

a customer is never wrong to take a better deal. Its not our business to keep businesses afloat, it is the owners of said businesses whose job is to do that. Personally I am sick of whining, bitching and fucking negativity all the time.

While there are people riding motorbikes, there will be an industry there to sell and service them, and the bits that go with them.

My personal view is that the reason a ducati dealership fails (not sure if they had other brands) is because the products are way too common, and very expensive. The only people who can afford them are wealthy, and the wealthy want (for whatever reason) to buy Harleys. Thats a pretty broad brush, I'll acknowldege, but I am convinced of the principle.
