Sponsors - No longer with us.!!!

As per a previous thread, I have sent out a number of e-mails over the last week to sponsors we have not heard from in a while and asked if they still want to be involved with KSRC.
The following businesses did not reply.
Given that I had no e-mails come back or bounce, and 9 out of the 12 it was sent to did reply, I can only suggest they no longer want to be involved with KSRC.
They are -
Brighton Kawasaki - Vic
Bike Biz - NSW
NoR Rus
They will be removed from the sponsors thread and home page and I suggest will not be offering KSRC members any discounts.
So please check the sponsors thread and use the businesses that support you..

(Please Note: sponsoring KSRC is a free service and KSRC do not charge or get anything out of it other than to get our members discounts or good deals.)

Brighton Kawasaki offered jack-shit anyway when I had my ZZR done there twice. I even mentioned KSRC and Smitty by name, they didn't recognise KSRC at all and thought I was nuts, and when I mentioned Smitty they put the price up

Yes, I'd heard that before, but I believe they are new owners (last year at least.. Smitty.?) and they approached us at the GP last year (or was it the supers..) and then sent me an e-mail stating they want to be a sponsor..
Never heard from them again.... and they didn't reply to the e-mails..
Can I suggest the Vics try Mornington Kawasaki. ?

yes, they changed owners (2 yr ago me thinks now) and the new op Mick..said yep we will honour the previous arrangement
and on the few visits after that I reminded him and got a yep. But if they did not reply to the email...phark 'em they can be struck off.

Same deal with Bikebiz when i went to get my tyre there. They were hesitant to believe that i was a KSRC member despite the fact i was wearing a cap and hoodie. He almost went as far as asking for proof.... but he didnt.
In the end i dont think i got a discount at all. $190 rear fitted seems the going rate to me...

Was that RevHedz at Accica Ridge??? I am in there all the time and I am always plugging the site. I have to drop in there next week so I will have a chat to Robbie about it.
