Yes I agree with Nelso, I don't think Kawasaki had to think to hard about pulling the sponsorship after a little birdy told us why.Nelso wrote:We heard about this today and if it is true what we were told, they didn't have much choice in the matter.

As for what happened.. thats between Aitkens and Kawasaki and the birdy could be wrong, hence why I have said nothing.

...nothing would be not posting anything at all

The same sort of thing happened to Peter Stevens a few years back, leaving the now-defunct nuff-nuff fark-knuckles at Cosways holding the reins.
However they bought Cosways and are now selling Kawasakis again...

Re: Aitken's no longer sell Kawasaki?
Maybe I do, I'm still green although I ride a Honda (otherwise I'd frequent a Honda forum)

Not living in NSW lessens it somewhat, but it's sad to see a good dealer lose the franchise. Don't care much about shitty dealers going under though...Cosways being a prime example.

wouldnt say they were competition, since the dstance between them was too far.
But kelens does offer great service and nice pricing for us, even though a few people have had bad experiences.
competition for kelens would be more "westerns" and "on 2 wheels".
but it is bad news if shops stop selling kwakas, since we dont have an advertising on tv and less and less bikes on superbikes & motogp.
