Seconded .......... He's testing a GP125 on 13th at QR for the Queensland series 09.
But seriously, they get Heaps from KSRC, i've yet seen any Aus tv coverage where the "Green loons" haven't got a few frames of Air time & the usual friendly comments from the "Voices".
FFS Phil is worth 100 bike sales a year on his own .... making the most of any given chance to empart extra Kawasaki content
I'm with "Cath#1" & "PhotopushBike" for the most but what i'd REALLY like to see is .... FREE
"WIGS"

Personally I think they should offer the same deals to us as they do to the Official (and yet much smaller) Kawasaki club.... If they offer the official club a deal to get a free jacket and cheap tickets to the GP they should extend it to us etc... It only makes sense....

Consistent discounts at Kawasaki dealers nationwide? Canberra Motorcycle Centre don't give me squat, which is why I placed my sticker order at Aitkens. Even if it's trade, and the discount was funded by Kawasaki and not the dealer?
Cheap tickets to events where Kawasaki factory is represented would be good too, and yes ride days on the new/existing gear would be awesome, even if it costs.

I think firstly I would like them to win!!!

But as we are speaking of marketing and CRM, then perhaps that's for another thread!
I liked whoever's idea's it was with regards to pit access passes and the like. Perhaps some corporate merhcandise, as we do tend to spend a bit on gear.
The one thing however, that I reckon could benefit both parties and not limited to KSRC, would be at MotoGP time and WSBK time, to have designated Kawasaki "Pit Stops" along various well used routes. The idea being, they would have a smattering of standard spares, maybe some tyres or even just some hot coffee or cold water or drinks. Kawasaki Riders only of course. We could watch all the Latte~ sipping Honda riders salivating while we quaff hot, rich, creamy coffee or icy cold Red Bull or the likes down our gobs on top of hotham!!!
Maybe a Kawasaki "Pit Stop" on the Island where the team Kawasaki Pit crew could do some minor inexpensive routine maintanance. Maybe do chain adjusts and lubes and a once over or brake pads and tyres etc, with free labour and parts costs only.
Perhaps they could put on a lunchtime BBQ for us at turn one each day???
Or..here's one that might actually get me to turn up to the GP, .....A decent and closely located designated undercover Kawasaki Bike parking area!!!
A rider meet and greet at Kawasaki interspastic turn one!!!
Free Pizza at Pinos Friday and Sat Night for KSRC members???? Worth an ask!!!!

According to John they are interested in getting in involved with us, in particular at big events like the Supers and the GP's.
So the question has been asked, what we like Kawasaki to do to help us out at these events.???
they could send this bike and the chick, she could be useful for bbqs, umbrella girl/track days etc... etc

X2.......(drool)

I think that kawasaki could help out with a marquee at particular events, Offer trade pricing on clothing, bike gear and parts to KSRC members. (this would be dificult for them as they prob dont do any direct sales. They could however offer cash back to KSRC members through dealers.)
Promote KSRC with bike gear and bike sales. Place a KSRC tag on their products in Aus. Promote their products through the KSRC site!
Generally, companies are reluctant to offer something for nothing. However, if we support them by buying from their dealers, they are more likely to offer discounts and provide assistance to KSRC and its members. I would ask the sales reps to get to a KSRC meet, ask them what we can do for them to get some recognition or discounts on their products. They are a business that has to make a profit, if you go to them asking for something without offering something in return, they will more than likely walk away. They may offer to subsidise the cost of T-shirt, jacket runs in the future with their corporate range, just adding the KSRC logo and grafiti on the back to identify the club.
I recon if KSRC hit them up for a track side marquee at the supers and a discount at their on track merchandise store, it would go a long way to building a relationship with them. We all buy shit when we go to the track.
Im only new to this site, but have heard a lot from a few particular members in the ACT. Seems this place supports the brand rather well considering we are mostly enthusiests.
