Post by CharlieGreger »

"Rant On'... I dont know about you lot out there, but it seems I am paying a feckin boat load of cash for spares for my XTZ if I buy them locally :omg: A case in point here are the brake disks. I went down to my local yamaha dealer and the chap wanted .... wait for it... :hss: ..... two grand per disk! I mean , c'mon that is just taking the piss mate. So I had a peek online and picked up a new rear disk for 500 bucks. Thats more like it!! ... "Rant Off"

Ouch!!! That makes me glad I just bought one.

No one warned me about the cost of ownership! :omg:
"Don't worry," he said, "things could be worse ........."
So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

Although converting Rand to OZ that's about $250 - still stealership territory!
