So, because he answered my PM and the info these links provide, I'm of the opinion that, although it maybe in vain on his part,
I don't think it's BS or... what was that wonderful word..OH yes..."codswallop". Your opinions may continue to differ.
I never had any doubt that someone is trying to make a lawsuit. ANYONE can sue anyone for anything they want, and there are TONS of money-hungry law agencies that are constantly trying to find and whip up "class action suits." Even on the rare occasion they go through with it, the consumers usually get almost nothing and lawyers get tons of money. My assertion is that there is nothing TO this action because I do not believe there is any wide-spread problem in the first place. Inotherwords, there is no substance, just someone trolling trying to find justification and gather people that have similar problems. But the story doesn't make sense as presented and we know there is no systemic problem as described. We know the bike too well and have gathered information from thousands of owners over many years. Aside from MaMa Kawasaki (who of course wouldn't say anything) we would be the first to know if there were such problems.
So to me, it is very offensive to see drivel about [what is obviously an attempt at] class-action lawsuits because it implies there really is some widespread, horrible problem with the Concours, when I firmly believe there isn't. People seeing such alarming verbiage will assume there must be some problem or something to this.
I think you're getting confused somewhere Brian.
Codswallop is a perfectly good family friendly word and not a euphemism for anything

Cod Roe is eggs whilst Cod Sperm is used to fertilise the eggs (if they're not being eaten as a delicacy that is)
And neither Roe nor Sperm are R rated words
OK, so how do feel about ducks?
No real opinion about ducks here. There is some kind of big, water- bird that seems to wander over from the pond across the street and leave amazingly big piles of what Mike would probably call 'soft- serve links' or some such thing, and after watching my neighbor slip on one of them, they appear to be as slipper as owl..... well, you know. But they are not ducks. Not sure what they are- I really do not know my water- birds very well at all. Probably just as well I do not hunt them- I would probably be trying for a mallard (whatever that is, specifically) and come home with a Cessna or something.
But I can tell ducks from seagulls and I know that because this one time, a banned camp, my father- in- law (not originally from around here, speaks with an accent and sometimes uses a word that is only close, not quite right) kept saying he wanted to eat outside, 'near the ducks'. Well, I am looking all around for ducks and do not see any so I ask again and he repeats, let's eat at one of those tables near the ducks. ?? We sit at a picnic table and break out chow and I just cannot stand it and so I ask 'where are the ducks'? He looks at me like I am from some other planet and says 'you cannot see them? There must be about a million of them all over the place!'. Ah, gotcha': his 'ducks' were seagulls. He also has the amusing language quirk of doubling up on his adjectives..... for example, nothing is ever 'small', it would instead be 'small, little', I guess as opposed to the 'small, gigantic' version. :-) Not breaking the guy's chops, his English is actually excellent and he speaks a lot more languages than I do so it's all good.
Now, back ONTOPIC: Yes, I think we should sue ducks for bad hydraulics!

Well its Thursday, how many on Thursdays?
oh and there's also a family card game called Codswallop

Which looks like you could keep in your Fanny Pack (snigger snigger if you're British at that one) for use whilst out and about
I'm a bit late to the humor mill... been offline...George Clooneys best ever film IMHO
when I saw the word "Codswallop", I snorked coffee out my nose, as it's too close to another funny name, from a movie I adore...
name that film?
Mrs. Hogwallop done R-U-N-N-O-F-T...

Guys, while many of you are astute observers and noticed quickly that this guy's story doesn't add up, you are all missing what's going on here.
My suggestion is to delete this thread, as it has potential to be dangerous to someone unsuspecting.
On my behalf, I would say that I didn't miss it at all... scam or spam, it has the same effect...
Something I asserted a long time ago. Locking it isn't good enough.
We don't need nannyng thanks
what sort of seagull was it ?
was it one of the flying rats aka a herring type gull or was it one of the more petite black headed type of seagull?
Guys, while many of you are astute observers and noticed quickly that this guy's story doesn't add up, you are all missing what's going on here. It's not spam, it's a scam. This post will get some money-starved person to contact his 'attorney' and say he has the same issue. The 'attorney' will agree and offer to include this person in the 'lawsuit'. In order to do so, the 'attorney' must be hired. This will require the transfer of funds to cover initial 'attorney' fees. Person will then be out of that money because there is no lawsuit and there is no 'attorney'.
This is the classic scam with a slight twist. The more current one is a 'grandson' calling a grandmother claiming to be stuck in jail and needing thousands of dollars to get out. Works far too often.

I now return you to V'Jim's drinking...and what else?....Ducks..yes I think it was Ducks.
