markandjen Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Afternoon all We went to the motorbike show at the NEC and noticed there were owners clubs there for Honda, Suzuki, Harley, etc, etc but none for us!! We were also quite disappointed at the Yamaha section so was wondering if anyone would be interested in having a Yamaha owners club there? As I've said on numerous posts(!!), I'm new to this biking world and love talking to bikers and would have really liked to have seen a stall for us. If anyone's interested, I don't mind getting hold of Yamaha to see if they would fund it or have a little section of their stand next year set up as an owners section. There seems to be a great cameraderie between bikers and certainly bikers of the same manufacturer so if others can have somewhere, then so can we!!!! Alternatively, if you've looked at it in the past, tell me to shut up!!! Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlestst Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Would it be worth trying to sort summit for the MCN live show? Probably to late but can always try!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandjen Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Morning Thundercat Excellent, thanks. That'd be great if your mate can get some info. If you can let me know and I'll see what I can sort out. Never tried before but I'll do my best. It would be excellent to have something in place - can't have those others showing us up!!!

markandjen Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi DJ I'll wait for Thundercat to see if we can get any information and then I'll speak to the Yamaha HQ. I'll see what they would be prepared to fund, how often, etc, etc. I'll try and encourage them to see that it would be in their best interest - by that I mean if people thinking of joining the biking world could see and hear the banter among riders they may be more prepared to take the lessons and if the leap was made as a result of over hearing us lot, then they might buy a Yamaha - perhaps we should then ask for a percentage!!! What ever, I can or can't get, I will let you all know. Fingers crossed!! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if you emphasize that it will be largely sports bike owners you may have more luck, as they are not bothered about the cruiser market.
