Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I have had the want to contact a few of our sponsors over the last few weeks in search of bits to get me back on the race track..

Unfortunately, most of them have not bothered to respond.

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and / or would like to comment on any of our sponsors (nothing inflamatory please, we don't want a law suit)..
It may be time to cull a few..
Its also dissapointing that very few of them are active on the forum, offering deals, advice and product info..

The list of Sponsors is here.

I wont name any names.... but I went into a sponsor's place, mentioned the discount and the still looked at me as if I was crazy....

Never invoked the KSRC name for a discount.

The 2 shops I go to know me by name and discount regardless and most other stuff I buy out of the states and get 30% to 50%.

I think if they are not active on the forum eg offers or product info yes they should be asked about why or why not. If they are not offering discounts to members (if asked) like Stereo mentioned, give them the flick. The best way to sell product is to promote them. On this forum it realy doesn't cost that much (if anything) to get the info across in a post. I would read it here then speak to the sponser that posted it. Fairs fair if these guys go to the effot to post info, prices are reasonable with discount applied and not looked like a @#$*i am sure people on here would suport them.

The way i look at it if they can't be bothered i will go to someone that can.

I have never had a problem, infact Kris, Steve and the ladies from Race Rep has not only looked after pricing but also gave me 2 stubbie holders and a long and short sleeve T-Shirt dont know.gif Also is helping me with a 2007 ZX6R

That didn't take long

I would post here, except it would only result in a gay joke or 10..

It's still months off but helps when u have a good friends to help you and with Tones taking me back out on the riding range helps heaps... Mind you I did take my bike for a ride yesterday b4 it goes today and getting off it I was shaking like a leaf

i was well looked after b4 at bk with the previous owner, but haven't bought anything lately, however i just think that the responses from us "the users" aren't as active neither,

there're times that ppl here turn an offer topic posted by the sponsor/seller into another joke of theirs and at the end of the post it'd be something totally irrelevant

let's just think if they can't sell a thing on this forum why bother to keep it up? which i do understand, i still think group buy is the best way to communicate with them

my 2 cents worth

True... You don't really need Farmyard Porn for a race bike...

You don't.????...


BTW, I got my battery cheaper elsewhere...

May still need ther battery tender though, although it is hanging in there so far...

btw, btw, Hows my tent going.?

Chris at Race Rep has gone out of his way to make sure I get a discount when I go there.

If people are going to offer KSRC sponsorship they really should look after all the members and be active in some way or another.
