  |
|
Okay guys what have you been given, scabbed or begged for for the bike or any thing asociated with the quads, no sponsership or stuff likie that.
The reason is because being bored one day at home, I thought I'd send off a email to the Kawasaki and see what I could scab.
DISCLAIMER: This is NO way a dig or having a go at at Kawasaki here just relaying a story that made me laugh. The name has been changed to protect the innocent.
this is the email I sent:
Howdy chaps.
I am the very proud owner of a KFX700, quad, and have just finished building my enclosed trailer to drag my $15000 plus quad around. But here's the sad part. My trailer is white in colour, and needs some huge Kawasaki stickers to plaster on the sides and back of it. To show all and sundries (especially those Yamaha riders and their huge emblazoned trailers up) So guys please help me out here, have even put a pic of the green one to show that I do actually have one 
and this what I recieved, had the the Thorpie Real sick feel about it.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your mail. Sounds like you have a pretty trick quad!
Unfortunately we don’t have any large stickers that would be suitable for your trailer but I will send you some Kawasaki flags that should help you stand out.
Kind Regards,
Kawasaki Motors Pty Limited
What a hoot, laughed till I hurt, and again not having a crak at them, they make the best quads in the world so why would I have a go ???
Will post pics of flags when I get them.

Flags? Oh well, better than a poke in the eye.
Yamaha gave me a Optimate III battery charger (approx. value $100). I called them constantly winging about the poor set-up of their '04 YFZ450 regulator and stator. With lights OFF the battery will believe it or not go flat.
Long story about why, but if your interested go here:

Fellow forum member 'quad' gave me a airbox lid for free.

Well it came today in the mail, and better still they sent me two. So as an OZatv first. The first kawasaki owner to PM me can have it, but I need proof you own one, not some horrid other brand owner thats want to do bad things with it. Or in 25 words or less why kawasaki's make the best tree climbing quads in Aus.

Well congratulations Madkwaka, you are the winner, the entries came flooding in, and the barrel was packed but you won it...
what a load of tripe. Tell him to PM me his post address and I'll post it off, he is a member here I hope.

I can assure there was NO graft or corruption, or bribes, mind you I was open to all offers, but no joy there let me say.
