All of their vans were rented out. If I had gone to collect the van, the situation would have been exactly the same. I had used them before and they knew exactly what I needed but ...... up and rented the van I should have had to somebody else.

The only difference me collecting would have made would have been incurring the cost of a taxi each way.
 
As an aside, there are things here that are quite different to the UK or even just over the border in Germany. When I bought the R my local dealer would rather not sell me a bike than discount even one euro. I went one hour up the road into Germany and got €5000 off.

90% of companies here look at you like you have personally insulted them if you try to negotiate on the price of anything.

If I was one of them I would do exactly the same. Maldives's holiday wouldn't buy itself.

No likey? Good luck in islamic UK with waste-land outside of M25 ugly fat girls or even worse the US with moronic politicians, fat people and tasteless plastic food.

At least earstern europe has quality FKKs.

It’s not Eastern Europe – it’s Central Europe.

It’s a competitive world if you are selling products. They tend to inflate prices here to start with.

The beer is cheap and good though and it’s a much nicer place to live.

Central Europe is Germany/France/Italy mate.

Czech is second grade citizen, hence they got admitted to Schengen with such a delay

Sorry, but you’re wrong. France most certainly is not Central European - that’s ridiculous.

Prague itself couldn’t be more central in Europe.

Silly comment about Czech citizens.

It’s also nice that we have two world-class circuits. Remind me how many you have where you live?

Relative to where I live with all the fat folks and tasteless plastic food you all live in police states. I met a german guy (he designed the industrial roasters for starbucks coffee) he swore when he was riding somewhere in Scandinavia on a speed triple and got stopped for going 200 Km that not only did they jail and fine him, they took his bike and crushed it (and his buddies which they caught too). I've been stopped like that and simply cut loose with a lecture.

The police here usually give you a gesture telling you to rev it as you go past.

Swiss afraid of noises hence none.

Czech's circuits are run down and in decay for last 10 years. Hopefully someone will put money behind it this or next year, otherwise kaput.


Czech Poland all that has been and is eastern europe. You can't rewrite the geography.

Most is very good. WSBK venue, so I hardly think you can say it is in decline.

Brno owner lost interest when his son was not in GP but it has a new owner and there will be significant investment because he wants to get MotoGP back.
