It's adieu.

Probably at least partly due to the recent publicity on TV about employees stealing time by surfing the Net. If everyone emailed AMPS and showed them how many bikers appreciated Lou's posts and the "free advertising" AMPS got from this site, the resultant jam up of their email inbox, may cause them to reconsider?

[scumdog]

The powers that be have decided that the profile and sales achieved through my presence on KB are not sufficient to justify the time or bandwidth.
So my future presence will be in my time and involve personal matters only.
If any members want info, quotes, or whatever related to AMPS you'll need to revert to non-KB communications.
I'll be joining Sarge in semi-limbo.

So how much was it costing the tight-arses for the time/bandwidth??
Sheesh, you would think they were NZ Polce by their tightness.!!!!!

I'll just import my own Schuberth from Germany then ......

Hell, the margin on that was probably a years worth of internet usage......

[spudchucka]

About a thousand k's north of you. But thanks for your support.

BTW folks, let's not seriously talk about boycotts and all. I don't really care too much. I joined KB as a biker not a flogger of bike bits.

Are they letting you keep the AMPS log-on or is that down the toilet too?

At least your employer didn't covertly filter your internet usage / e-mail content and then spring it on the media for browny points.

My boss was really concerned about the amount of time I spend on KB. He was worried that he wasn't providing me enough of a challenge so he insisted on giving me a pay rise. He doesn't want to lose me.

What a guy.

Yeah, bitch. You can suck my cock twice a day to keep you busy.

[myvice]

What?
I have to wait till I'm home first!
And then kick the kid off!
I can always come in and see you tho...
But I'm not going to...

It's all gone.
And, I haven't surfed porn sites. Maybe I should have.

Bike porn?

Man, that's a real bummer

I betya if they knew just how much business you have really brought in from your presence on KB and the spin off business because of your knowledge base, they would seriously reconsider.

This sucks

[SARGE]

it was always Oi! Old Cunt, where the bloody hell is my bike



Always respect your elders, by giving them shit to remind them they are elder

Got a real bike yet OC? or you still riding that bored out 2fiddy?

yea Patch .. i remember what my old man used to say to me all the time ..

" age, experience and treachery will always overcome youth, strength and skill.."

you dont think i got this age on good looks alone eh?

and yes im still on the bored out 2fiddy.. anytime you feel like you wanna run to 100 you just let me know youngster..


i'll bring a tea towel to dry behind your ears...

pretty much the same thing that happened to me at my last shop..


hey lou.. considering you sell HD's and Honda's .. maybe a kiddy - porn site would boost your sales ..

[pritch]

I've lost count of how much you guys have bought,

And there'd be a few dyno runs too :-)

[Badcat]

yep - it's pretty sad that bike dealers can't see that Lou and Sarge were actually DOING THEIR JOBS online.
well - i'll no longer support either of those dealerships. (i have bought 5 bikes from colemans) not dealing with AMPs is easier, as Lou (and the english guy in parts) are the only humans there.

well .. since i am no longer AT Colemans .. go for your life man ...

its all about presence .. you have to get face time with your prospective client base ..customers tend to like doing business with someone they know.. this is one of the greatest networking tools for the m/c industry in NZ ..even if the ones working at th shops and using it are not nessasarily talking strictly about bikes ..(lord knows some of Lou and i's political debates have gone way outside the box...)

sorry the shop directors cant see that .. thier loss i guess..
