Kickstart,
I have been a lurker on here for a few years but Junglejims posts have motivated me to register.
You have put forward an intelligent and well argued series of answers backed up the relevant figures. Im impressed by your calm replies in the face of such frustrating responses.
Why Junglejim cannot grasp your points is beyond me other than to conclude that he is a troll on a windup.
Give it up as a bad job, some arguments are too full of internets to waste your time on. The rest of us reading the thread can, and have, drawn our own conclusions. I.e. you are right |

Really, try not to put all your faith in statistics.
They don't always tell the whole story.
You're what we used to refer as in the trade, as a bar stool roadtester.
These are people incapable of forming opions based on experience, and so default to what they read somewhere.

Not all faith in statistics. As already said, I just used them to support what I already knew to be true.
Call me what you like, you have proven to be so incapable of coming up with anything to support your point that I really can't give a damn about what you say now.

I spoke to one of White's ex-employees, he's got a job at the Suzuki dealers close to me, and it turns our White's main problem was margins.
Too small a margin on decreasing sales was eventually their downfall, though apparently the bank had been concerned for a year prior to their collapse. ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

Crikey, has he seen Suzuki's sales figures and margins (with their cashback offer) lately? I can't see them doing much better than Whites.
Aside, did "Mega Motorcycle Store" (White's as-was) ever manage to sell off all their bike stock after their disastrous auction? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I thought the offer was so good I bought a new bike off them
Can't say about the "Mega Motorcycle Store" as I don't know, but I will ask next time I see him if he knows anything. ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

Old Thread Alert!
