"Have your back"

[Mr Merde]

I've been a member of this site for a while now and have seen people come and go.

The other thing I have seen is a lot of friendships seemingly flourish on this site.

So just a question for the general polulace

Is there anyone on this site you would trust enough to "have your back"

You military and ex military persons should understand how important a concept this is.

[James Deuce]

Bugger off, they're bikers. They wouldn't give it back.

Yes, there is! (yes! but for 10 ch thingy)

[Hans]

Yup, there's two and and they probably know who they are ;)
If I name them, everyone will start lining up in front of them...

[Mr Merde]

Dont name them

I was just pointing out to another KBer the importance of this concept and how when people actually thought about it how small the list would be.

That ammount of trust is a rare thing

[Laxi]

I dont trust ANYONE that much

[PirateJafa]

I would trust Slyr with anything bar my KFC.

[Mully]

Without a doubt.

[Gwinch]

Absolutely, positively. They know who they are.

[Mikkel]

I'm actually more curious about what different people would associate with the term "have your back"... What does it actually entail?

There are plenty of people that I like and some I trust in one regard or the other - but I am really too paranoid to trust anyone in everything, all of the time and in all circumstances.

[Str8 Jacket]

I am extremely fortunate to have already had a few kiwibikers "have my back" over the past few years. I have met some awesome friends, along with my partner through this site that I would also trust without thought.

[Genestho]

I have made some good bonds and great friends on this site, I am honored to know them, and they know who they are!!!!!;)

EDIT: Actually on thinking about it, I think "have your back" and trust need to be seperated... they are a seperate issue.

Many people "have had my back" here, thank goodness!!!!!! (THANKYOU!!)

I trust no-one except myself, when it comes down to instinct, or making decisions in my personal life, trust is a fragile thing, too easily broken....and at the end of the day, everything comes down to you.

[kiwifruit]

Is there anyone on this site you would trust enough to "have your back"



Yes, plenty

[ManDownUnder]

Yes, very few but there's two on here I can honestly that about. They both know who they are


I'm actually more curious about what different people would associate with the term "have your back"... What does it actually entail?

While I can't relate to the possible military interpretation (never having been there) for me it's a "yes" to "Will you help". It don't matter what time, what place, how deep, foul or fast flowing the shit is...

[Marmoot]

Yes, very few but there's two on here I can honestly that about. They both know who they are

Gosh, thanks man. I never thought you think that way about me.

[ManDownUnder]

Gosh, I never thought you think about me.

And you'd be right!

[Skunk]

Just one. My wife... A few more that are close. But then I don't give trust easily.

[sunhuntin]

I dont trust ANYONE that much

ditto. i have however made some life long friends who i am honored to know.

[The Pastor]

trust me with your life, just not your money or your wife?

it depends on the situations, there are quite a few people on here who i would stand up for, but not sure how many would return the favour. Some of them dont even trust me with there bikes ;) but i can understand that.

[Indiana_Jones]

Some of them dont even trust me with there bikes ;) but i can understand that.

It's not that I don't trust you Scott......It's just the insurance won't pay out and I don't trust you :lol:

Of course that's only for my bike lol

-Indy

[Mom]

I can honestly say there are a few members on here that I trust and I know "have my back". I have been lucky enough to meet many amazing people through my membership of this forum, and forge some very staunch friendships as a result.

There is no doubt that KB is not a normal internet forum, thank goodness for that.

[ajturbo]

even the guy in the mirror looks a bit dodgy.......

[White Boots]

Yeah definitely a couple on here :scooter:

[MD]

Is this some sort military slang. An affectionate term of invitation commonly used in the showers??
In which case the answer is no. I bought my own soap and it's on a chain

[McDuck]

Yea there a few...

[gijoe1313]

Crikey Mr Merde, been a whiles since you been postings! Hope things have been tickety-boo with you!

Still need to get out to your neck of the woods! :doh:

[YellowDog]

I have met some very decent people through KB, but not really got to know them well enough to say I'd trust them with my back.

I would say that as a stereotype bikers are pretty much a decent bunch and the comaraderie demonstrated by many in giving support to fellow bikers when things go wrong is quite outstanding.

[sunhuntin]

There is no doubt that KB is not a normal internet forum, thank goodness for that.

agreed. the thing i love about this place is the high chance of meeting other members on pure chance. i met at least 2 during my years at bp [zapf and tri boy. im thinking there may have been others but cant remember] strangely enough, i havent met headbanger, lol. know who his dad is though. ive seen tons of others at rallys and race days by looking for the shirts. that was how i first "met" grub, cos of his shirt. :yes: course, being a race day, he was so busy that he never remembered it, lol. i also saw nasty that same day, but didnt realise who she was at the time.

[short-circuit]

Dunno about my back but I reckon Carver would "have my arse" given half a chance

[SARGE]

i KNOW alot of people worldwide..

i TRUST less than 1% of them...

in NZ.. maybe 1% of THEM

4 of them are on KB


if ya gotta ask .. it aint you


but here is the big difference in FREINDSHIP, TRUST and "got your back"


friendship is easy .. not too much commitment.. beers and movies and ride-outs


trust.. ask yourself.. would i be comfortable leaving my drunk partner with them?

"got your back" - ???? anything anytime anywhere

[Trudes]

Apart from my hubby I'd say there are at least a couple I would say I'd trust... I don't trust anyone completely... even myself, maybe that's why I don't trust others?? Anyway, in certain circumstances, definitely.

[Big Dave]

I want White Trash to stop doggie humping my leg.

[Paul in NZ]

I want White Trash to stop doggie humping my leg.

And get behind you to git your back - nasty man...

[SARGE]

no you dont ..

Through experience I know there are many people here that have my back ... more than I ever would have thought.

[Hitcher]

I don't really care who has my back. But there are several KBers who will have me as their wingman, should they ever need one. Pay it forward. It's better to give than to receive.

[MsKABC]

Yes, there are a few, actually. There are some fantastic bitches who have been standing behind me in person and in spirit for the last six weeks now. There is also another KBer who has been a tower of strength for me. They know who they are :hug:

[hospitalfood]

only one. and he has lost fal so i would have to arm him, but thats ok.
plenty of people here i trust. but only one i would trust in a shootout

Thats just a poncey way of saying the same thing. Faaaarkin airforce types :gob: Are you standing up straight when you type or do you have the posture of a Teapot ?

[scumdog]

A select few...;)

[Big Dave]

Nice irony (beavis voice) coming from a pussy.

[madbikeboy]

There's a few people on this site who I would trailer up and grab them from invercargill if they needed it.

And there's at least one who has my back. And my respect.

[ajturbo]

i'll stand behind any naked woman who has a nice butt......




















note to self.... must lay off red wine and posting on KB....

[coffeejunkie]

I have met some great ppl here on KB and i've also met some that i would be happy to kick as i ride past,

The best i have to say are a great pack of "bitches" and i'd have their back in a heartbeat!

[Conquiztador]

For someone "to have my back" I only need to trust them. I know most of you on here have a negative attitude towards a patched up club, but that is what is part of it. You don't need to like them, but they will always have your back no questions asked.

Being a fraction antisocial I have not learnt to know anyone on here enough to trust them to that extent. (OK, there was one, sadly now gone)

That is still a long way from being a friend, as in my book a friend is someone I can trust, I respect and I like. And there aint many of them around.

[NDORFN]

This thread is gay.

Agreed to a point but a patch and what it means is only as solid as the members that wear said patch,obviously,back in the day i had the mis-fortune to discover that theres occasions where human fraility overides the strength of any piece of fabric,point being in some cases its easy to wear a patch and profess beliefs but when the pot boils over a patch wearer will fuck off just as quick as any.Fwiw theres only one thing that breathes that i would truly trust and its my dog,period.

I'd agree with that. I think a lot of people have misguided trust in others (I certainly have had) and when the shit really hits the fan you soon find out who your true friends are, the ones that stand by you no matter what. You may not always agree on everything, but you know they will support you anyway.

Well summed up.

[The Stranger]

Honda riders.

[NordieBoy]

Fwiw theres only one thing that breathes that i would truly trust and its my dog,period.

Who else thinks that's a dumb name for a dog?

[Maha]

Honda riders are quality, just like the bikes they own/ride.

Awwwwwww thats so sweeeeeet.......:hug:

[The Stranger]

Awwwwwww thats so sweeeeeet.......:hug:

Yeah, comforting to know you got my back Maha.
Nothing like a good spooning on a cold night.

[Mikkel]

Honda riders.

You just bought one? (Not a Honda rider I mean, I mean a Honda motorcycle of course...)

[scumdog]

Who else thinks that's a dumb name for a dog?

No wonder it barked at me when I called round - its name wasn't round - it was period, duh!:stupid:

[The Stranger]

You just bought one?

Nah - I got self respect.

[Conquiztador]

Who else thinks that's a dumb name for a dog?

Could be that this dog, as much as the owner trusts him fully, is not that wanted, but just keeps on popping up monthly?

[Sniper]

I've been a member of this site for a while now and have seen people come and go.
................. snip...........
You military and ex military persons should understand how important a concept this is.

Yes, 4 to be exact

[ManDownUnder]

This thread is gay.

No - that's having their bum... Mr Merde asked about having their back.

[ManDownUnder]

Who else thinks that's a dumb name for a dog?

"Period"? I think it's pretty clever. I'm guessing the alternative was "That bloody dog"...

[MadDuck]

Is there anyone on this site you would trust enough to "have your back"

Nope. Not one.

[jono035]

i've also met some that i would be happy to kick as i ride past

The thing that I like about this forum so far is that earlier there was a thread somewhere where someone was explaining exactly how to do this without falling off...

Useful info!

[doc]

Mmmmmm the Cold Kiwi and the Brass Monkey dont ya just love them.

Its going to be Gwinch's first experience. Im really looking forward to it.:banana:

[Ixion]

I aint a team player. Only one person I'd trust if it came to shooting . Let alone turning the entire environement into radioactive one inch cubes, my preferred option in all disagreements .No. Three. Neither who you'd think. And yeah, i'd take a round for them . Not cos they're worth it, just cos they're honest bastards.

Thinking like that is gonna get you eaten when the zombies come, mate.

[DEATH_INC.]

There are a couple.....

[rachprice]

Only one that I have met from this site...others are old friends

[Ixion]

Thinking like that is gonna get you eaten when the zombies come, mate.

I've survived the grues for half a century. you think I'm going to be worried by mere zombies ?

[Motu]

most of you on here have a negative attitude towards a patched up club, but that is what is part of it. You don't need to like them, but they will always have your back no questions asked.


They are talking the same thing here,but the ''forces'' will never admit it.They have better haircuts and polish their boots.It all goes back to the dawn of humanity - the hunter/gatherer society and the rattling of spears.When meeting another tribe at a mammoth kill....you stand off and rattle spears....and hope like hell that your mates are doing the same thing and haven't run to safety.Circled by wolves around an antelope,you stand back to back with your hunting partner and take on the whole pack,knowing your back is covered.

KB? People here should never put their trust in me,I always look for the escape route.On the Nikau Caves run a few weeks ago we had a run in with a farmer - he was abusing the rider next to me and attacking his bike with a stick.I just rode off and left him to it.Later he caught up with us again....I watched from a safe distance.

Survivors survive by looking after themselves,not other people.I'm a survivor.

[Ixion]

Yeah.I always like it if some brave guy stands uo to the BadMan. Gives me time to hide . That time, I was hiding behind you. You was brave, the farmer dude could see you, I was crouched behind you. Out of sight. I wasn't even part of the ride. I was fifty miles away. Unless I could dob the farmer guy a crafty one with a bit of 4 be 2. He who runs away lives to run away another day.

[Lula]

Build a Rat Bike!

[SARGE]

No wonder it barked at me when I called round - its name wasn't round - it was period, duh!:stupid:

periods are round..................


i have the perfect example of this ...


a few years ago when i was working at one of the bike shops .. i was outside with a customer and saw 3 young men taking to my wall with a spray can.. i went over and had a rather loud chat with them and the 'leader' asked


"oh yea.. what are ya conna do against 3 of us old man??"


i looked over his shoulder and replied ..

'nothing .. cuz your mates just fucked off'

he turned his head slightly and saw that i had lied about that fact ..

sadly for him.. when he turned back all he got was a face full of fist


as soon as he hit the ground .. his mates took off down the block


point: if he trusted his mates he wouldnt have turned his head..

We just wouldn't have gotten to where we are today if there hadn't been anyone thick enough around to keep the BadMen at bay while the clever cunts ran to the hills.

Well, the real enthusiasts - like the scottish highlanders - didn't exactly mind bringing along noisy baggage such as bagpipes and such. That was back in the good old days of warfare before the whole deal got sneaky.

And the main reason people don't go to war with the french anymore is simply because everyone knows they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys; i.e. no fun at all! (That and the fact that they are whining too much to begin with anyway.)
