It's not easy for dealers to keep bikes pristine, once they are in the showroom they have everyone sitting on and let's face it most people arn't that careful when it doesn't belong to them. We regularly do "damaged in transists" but we can only fix the problems in the manufacturers have the stuff to send us. Some of us do try our best to keep you customers happy but we can't get it right all the time!

Very good Divvy_Rider something for everyone there!

Well... If you think you can handle it......

36C if you must know!

Cheers for that skyline!!!

Cool R1caz. My best girlie mates got a blade(but i don't hold it against her!)

I agree with you. I work in a dealership we see it here all the time people who are new/ coming back from a break can afford the insurance. Our most said saying here is "give it a month it'll be back for a crash repair. 9 out of 10 times it is! Sometimes I feel responsible I will always try to talk them into something I think is more suitable but at the end of the day it's their money and if they don't buy from us they'll only go somewhere else. There are a few that are sensible though so all is not lost yet. It's the youngsters I feel sorry for they have high insurance because they a "high risk" but as we all know it's not actually them doing most of the crashing!

I think we should all remember that we were newbies once and if we give them a bit of time maybe some of 'em might turn into real bikers that are worth our time!

Why do the fairies get better roads tho? Life just isn't fair!

Hmmm... I've got an R1, leathers larey lid and get me knee down (on the track) does this mean I'm a middle aged man??? My bike does do more than 1000 miles a year though... And I don't do Biker Hotspots.... I did however find myself boring a young man on an RD500 with stories of the old days on saturday... Does this mean... 1. I'm a power ranger 2. I'm a young "real" biker 3. I'm turning into my grandad Help!! #-o

I wish! Unfortunately I am just a mere employee! I do clothing, accessories and a bit of spares. We are (also unfortunately for me ) a kawasaki and Triumph dealership. Got a website if you're interested www.alfsmotorcycles.co.uk I think there is a pic of me there somewhere(sorry about that!)

Thats our local "venue" don't go there much cos of idiots. Last time I did go though sussex police where there educating us on the dangers of small number plates and loud cans, don't remember anything about driver ed! Incidently the memorial at the end was for a very good customer of ours. RIP my friend :cry:

I'm a rock chick at heart but like most women I like "music to slit your wrists with" you know like radiohead' coldplay etc :wink:
