Part2:


Finding the dealers wasn't the easiest thing. Buildings should be in numerical
order when you walk down the street. Not in Poland!
My wife called 1st at my prompting & got a fax line! No prob she says,Most
stores are open till 3 PM on Sat. We left the house & walked a few blocks to the
bus line, hopped the bus for a 15 minutes or so & watched what addresses we
could see. Business on the road were spread out & I saw a Yamaha sign so we
decided to get off at the next stop & walk a bit. The driver decided since he
didn't see anyone at those stops to keep going to a stop where someone was. No
harm done, we were close to the address, what a little walking? Well, in -10c
(17 degree) weather it is a bit cold.
We walked up & down to the end of the street & couldn't find the dealer so we
gave up & started walking to find anything open to warm up & then get back to
some transportation. I didn't want to waste the day searching just to satisfy my
curiosity & take some pics. Low & behold way out of numerical order I see 2
buildings,a KTM/SUZUKI/DUCATTI & a GAS GAS/KAWASAKI dealer set back way off the
road.
Success! Well not quite. The guy at the KTM dealer told my wife he was closing
in 15 minutes & putting repaired bikes back into the service area so my wife
said lets walk over to the other building. when we got there she told me the
sign said closed till after the New Year. Damn!

Part 3

Well at least I got some pice thu the glass. Since the KLX250S isn't available
in Poland, the next best thing to me in the Kaw lineup is the KLX450R
US MSRP is $7299.00 & we know we can get it much cheaper here but in Poland?
Noooooooooo!
That will cost you 29,900ZL How much is that you ask boys & girls? That is at
todays exchange rate is USD $12,221

They even had a special with all gear & delivery within 100km (62 miles)
included.Since there is a small dealer network there I don't thing there is much room for
dealing if you lived there & wanted to get one but who knows. Money talks
anywhere even in a different language & dominations.

I never did get to the Yahama dealerbut I did find another shop that is carying a Polish brand of motorcycle. My wife read their site&said it is made in Poland but I think it is Chinese:

Shure enough, another shop closed for the holidays, after all it was New Years Day!

you can put as many as you want in each post, but you need to host them on photobucket or some other on-line photo storage site. I put 2 of yours in one place, but as you can see one of them is a little wide. Photobucket automatically re-sizes the large ones. To get more than one picture or pictures the right way, copy the properties of the pictures location, not the address bar, but rather right click on the picture and highlight and copy the properties or the URL Address depending what code is being usedthen come back here and hit the button, paste it in that box and hit enter. To get more than one picture, repeat the process in the same post, making sure you have hit the enter button and got the cursor under the previous picture so it puts each picture under the previous picture and not side by side which will make the thread waaaaaay too wide.
