english electric Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Kinda like celebrities who continue to change their names in an effort to redefine themselves. --Biff you mean like prince who is now known as the artist formally known as prince. I have refrained from using P!$$ in front of artist but to be quite honest he was known to be a pain in the ass. maybe he should team up with jotagas or the artists formally known as jotagas . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudboy Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 After an agonising 9 month wait, I collected my bike from the airport last week. I was disappointed to see the formula front brakes and Dellorto carb, this was supposed to be the racing model. I have just climbed off my 2014 Gas Gas racing and was ready to hate this bike, problem is, this bike is a lot better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Who would hold stocks of spares? Want something in August? Got a warranty item need doing whose going to help with that? I see the point about importers but there is a case for there need to. In my opinion in the trials scene a factory should be able to take care of that. The factory has the parts (or else the importer doesnt get them aswell). Warranty issues can be dealed with by an agent from the factory. Most things can be solved trough the web, and couriers can take stuff within days. Its a different setup, but I think importers are not needed if you got dealers. I would say have importers for USA etc, and see europe as one ''area'' with dealers in each country. (I even dont need a dealer, if I can get the parts online straight from the factory). But if you have almost more people working in the pipeline from factory to costumer, than produced bikes, the system doesnt work imo. 1st step is get them bikes!

nigel dabster Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 OK so the dealer says on august 1st "i cant get the factory to answer the phone till september"? Who organises and keeps an eye on the dealers? etc etc Yes it is 2015 but the practicalities are its better to have an importer in the uk i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
