Yeah was talk about it a few weeks ago, dunno i'm rapt with the idea of Peter Stevens coming on board but something had to be done, Cosways hasn't changed since 1952 I reckon... was way outdated.

Well it just about 100% guarantees my next bike will be a Kwakka. My main gripe was there was no Kwakka dealer in the city apart from those cahns at Cosways. There's none up my way, and nothing handy at all between Bendigo and Elizabeth Street.

My three bikes were all bought from Peter Stevens, I was pretty dark when they dropped the ball and Kawasaki Australia pulled the dealership off them. You just got to keep an eye on them when they do your servicing ;).

How FUCKED is that. Peter and Steve Kioto put the owner of cossways in hospital after PS lost there kawasaki dealership.
Ok so Cossies weren't the best, but Peter Stevens repressents the very very worst of the motorcycling movement and industry in this country.

Those fuckers really should be in jail, not in business.
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
