Things happen, huh!!

[Jackrat]

It's in The nature of what we do that things happen.
If it happens to you and you need a hand getting your bike home give me a call, 09 2350403,,,if your within two hours of South AK i will be more than happy to lend a hand.I'm at home most of the time, ether chasing cows around the place or something similar so I'm easy to find.Time of day or night makes no difference to me.I have a Nissan Patrol and a trailer,Might ask $10 for fuel but that's it.This is for break downs or poor parking skills,If your not in good shape I will deliver your bike to where ever you like within a couple of hours of AK, or if you don't mind paying for the gas anywhere in the north island.
Cheers.

[Two Smoker]

Cheers Jackrat, just like Firefight.... Both of you guys are top blokes :niceone:

[Motu]

Thanks Jack - my wife often asks if the trailer has a WoF and where are the tie downs when I go for a ride,could be a load off her mind.

[Marknz]

Good on ya mate, I'll be sure to have that info on me if I'm ever venturing up north for a ride.

[Racey Rider]

Yep, I'ld be available for that Too.
Any KB's 2 hours North (Te Kuiti) or South (Wanganui) of New Plymouth at anytime that need help, feel free to call me.
Have truck, and are self employed, so my time is reasonable flexable to helpout when needed.
06 753 2240 or 025 669 5900
Racey. :cool:

[Motoracer]

That is very kind and thoughtfull Jack and Racey:)

[FROSTY]

on that subject my garage is always open for broken down bikes.
If ya need a place to work on em the doors are always open.
I have almost everything to fix em and if I aint gottit I can gettit
I still have contacts at the wholesalers and wreckers to help out on the parts front
I can be got on 021544251
I guess it (almost) goes without saying If I can help retrieve a busted Bike I will. On track days threres always room for one bike on my trailer

[Kickaha]

I spose you could put me down for that a couple of hours either side of Christchurch 021 1020806 is the easiest one to get me on,leave a message if I don't answer cause I don't carry it on me.

[k14]

Man, you guys are legends :not: :not: . I will definately keep that in mind if i have any problems. Wish I could offer the same, but don't have a car/trailer or a place to put stuff. :niceone:

[Posh Tourer :P]

How about you sticky this thread?

[SPman]

How about you sticky this thread? Done.......

[LB]

Hey guys, this is great stuff. Much appreciated (and hopefully I'll never need to use this service offered!).

BTW, what is a "sticky"? I looked on FAQ but couldn't see it.

[wkid_one]

Good call Jack....

Same goes for me in Wellington.......04 471 4511 (will always divert to mobile)- will get me anywhere....I don't pay gas so no problem helping you at. I have Van on call for picking up disabled bikes (like my FECKEN R1)......

Wellington, Wairarapa, Kapiti - give me a call.

[Ms Piggy]

Thanks you guys! That's awesome of you to be so generous :hug:



BTW, what is a "sticky"? I looked on FAQ but couldn't see it.

Yeah wot is it?

A "Sticky" thread will stay at the top of the forum thread list. :)

[Robbo]

Hey There Jack, Racey and Wkid
That is a very generous and genuine offer you have made. It is guys like you that make me proud to be a member of the biking fraternity.I have always considered that most bike riders are caring people and do look out for each other when out on the road, even if it's only a wave of acknowledgement. I guess this come down to our love of "two wheels" regardless of what we ride. I hope I never need to use your services but it is great to know that you are out there and available if I ever do.
Keep up the great work and ride safe.

Cheers

Robbo
:scooter:

[Cajun]

I am possible do for doing the same around the Tauranga area,

[aff-man]

This is great we can have a whole "incident" support system in place that would save heaps if you don't need a towing company. Have no car trailer or space but will help out where possible.

[DEATH_INC.]

Yeh,count me in too.I can be fairly busy, but I've got a trailer and space to put her 'till you can pick her up if need be.Not too bad at mech either,so may be able to lend advice/help if needed too....
(027)2185505
Big :niceone: to jackrat for getting this rolling.

[Devil]

This would be an excellent thing to see happening. If something happened to my bike id feel a little awkward about bothering someone (let alone someone I dont know) to get a hand/ride, however.

[aff-man]

someone you don't know is just a mate on a bike you havn't met yet. forgot to add the number ((021)1674132)

[madandy]

Good on ya, Mr. Jackrat :rockon:
Awesome show of solidarity, guys! Makes me all weepy :cry:

I'd like to offer similar support to any rider needing help between Waihi and Tauranga.Call any time on 027 244 1567 Sharon & Andy
Have ute and full workshop and will travel...soon we could have the whole roading network covered.

Perhaps we should have a register of people who can help in the event of an off or breakdown. :yeah:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Yeah that concept of a register happened in the BMWOR, perhaps a dedicated page people could print out etc.?

Edit: BMWOR had a booklet, with name, number, area, and categories such as workshop, trailer/transport, accomodation, coffee/chat anytime, and a few others I cant recall. The family left the BMWOR recently as it became too many pretty boys on weekend toys (that and father got bored of riding - too much been there done that)

[What?]

Add me to the list, too, for Tauranga / Kaimai / East Waikato area. I have a bike trailer and a reasonable bunch of tools.

Leaves me feeling somewhat miserable, being aunable to help... no tools.... no trailer.... no cage..... but if I can offer any assistance I always will.

[6Chris6]

It's in The nature of what we do that things happen.
.
Yes they do.
I had first hand experience of this on the weekend and with the help i got And what you guys are offering it really puts a bit of faith back in human (read biker) nature :grouphug:

Sorry all i can offer is accomadation, chat, beer etc

[Motoracer]

We need to put all you guys in a map on the site for easy reference. What do you reckon?

[Motu]

You guys are making me feel all unfriendly - ok,I have a trailer and van set up to haul bikes,I work too much,but am certainly prepard to help anyone in need...I have a full workshop and some small knowledge of how a bike works - a tyre machine with motorcycle adapters,so we can repair a flat tyre no trouble,beer and motorcycle magazines to help idle moments.Browze the workshop,count the bikes.

09 625 9827....027 231 4852.

[FROSTY]

can someone maybee suggest the map idea to spank me??

[Firefight]

Sounds like we are onto somthing here,given the geographical diversity of our domicles, we could have some form of registar of memebers who are prepared to assit,Depending on how many we got perhaps a laminated A5 sheet with contact details would be handy to carry with us. I have access to one of those laminating thingys should we need.

I have been happy to help out in the past, and like others have a bike trailer, tie downs etc, plus a few contacts for after hours assistance from a bike dealer. :2thumbsup
Also due to Mrs FF deciding we need to live in a palatial mansion we will, in a couple of weeks have a house with a large lock up garage suitable to store bikes.

So I guess its up to some IT type (notice I didn't say computer geeks) to get this thing up and running.

Good one you Jack for sharing the idea.

Firefight :crazy:

[Racey Rider]

Yeah Good one Jackrat for starting this.
Certainly grounds to let you graduate to a higher level of username,,
Jackmouse maybe. or Jackkitten. :niceone:


A few more good ideas like this and you could get right up there at: Jackkiwi or JackTuatara! :doobey:

Right-o, I've got a new phone.

Anyone needs to get hold of me it's 021 039 6422.

If you call after midnight, you'd better be *really* good looking! :angry2:

[RiderInBlack]

Ok, Doug is my name. Contact for me is (027) 4534350. It is better and quicker to Txt me as I move in and out of celephone coverage, and will see a Txt before a voice message. Please add that you are a KB'er so that I don't think your just a desperiate horse-owner trying to get their horse shod.

Have a ute with a loading ramp & tie-downs.
There is a full farmer's workshop at home. Have most things needed to do repairs on bikes, but I'm no bike mechanic.
Plenty of beds here (2 Houses) and my parents (and myself) always welcome visiters (so there is a bed here for you, even if you are just passing through).
I'm also a Registered Nurse and can assess you need for treatment (but if in doubt always ring the ambulance), but don't carry a first aid kit with me (fu*k must get one!).

Will cover from South of Kerikeri/Kaikohe to North of the Brynderwyns. I may go as far north as Kaitaia and as far as South as Wellsford at a push.

[DEATH_INC.]

Thought I better mention,I'll look at fixing bike wheels too(I repair car alloys,remember....),if you're desperate.I'd rather see you replace them(you've only got two remember....)but if you really must I'm as good as anyone else you'll find(if I do say so myself....)and I'm sure I can look after you guys better than others :2thumbsup

[Gummybear]

Restores one faith in humanity. Thanks to all to date who offer their help and support. You are legends! :first:

Allows you to know that you are not alone when sh** happens(and we hope it doesnt) but if it does.......well, someone no doubt will hear from me and I will be grateful. :ride:

How about a printable list of names and numbers? this would be helpful.

10.6.04 Just came across Simon knocked off his yam750 on the Wellington M/way approaching the ferry terminal. Can anyone able to pick Simon & his bike up i.e. got trailer or van please ring him now on 025-2213776. I didn't have a tow bar.
Sorry to meet you that way Simon- no I didn't knock him Off!
MD

cancel that request. I just called Simon and he's managed to get hold of WhiteTrash who will collect him

[White trash]

Thanks for that, Mark.

Sorted!

[Tas]

Good to hear that Simon is (sort of) ok.
No doubt with WT's help Simon will be back on 2 wheels shortly.
This is a great thread and I hope I never have to call on the generosity of all you KBers.
However if your ever in trouble in the Hawkes Bay/Napier area give me a call on 025-6588683 and I'll do what I can.

[FROSTY]

what a bloody good idea dude.
Um I wonder if we can call on fellow KB ers to suggest places to stay near their towns?

[Gummybear]

Here, here! Another bloody good idea!

[Timber020]

Add me to the Wellington break down and crash crew, I have a trailer but I wouldnt want to put a bike in it unless its already a little roughed up (its a box with no tie downs internally! but we could pad it out somehow!

Timber- 025 354 856 phones always on, although I dont always hear it above my noisey toys, txts are spotted days before messages are retrieved!

FINALLY saw this thread!
Anywhere out WEST auckland or ifnact most parts of auckland if your a likable biker give us a ring or txt on 021 1655 668, Logans the name and Bike picking up is my game (have a van, can fit 2 street bikes easily infact if it was needed)

[SpankMe]

SpankMe, this file is only downloadable if you are a member of the site, correct? I dont want to be throwing too many details out onto the web....

Correct, but I can further restrict it to only senior members or only those that have been with the site for a certain period and/or have posted. Let me know.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Is this a good idea? I think it would be, so anyone who is on this list doesnt get hassled by random people..... if I had my name on here, I'd be happier if it was restricted to more senior members - some sort of restriction anyway - perhaps 50 posts or something

What do you all think??

[Racey Rider]

[wkid_one]

Best thing to do would be to have it is a 'number of posts' restricted forum etc - whereby only people with over 50 posts can actually get in to it full stop. In saying that - our details are all written down throughout this thread anyway

[Firefight]

I don't mind either way, if a newbie(with few posts) had a problem, I would be happy to help out, however I will go with what the majority wish, ah, that is when I get on the list . :confused:

laughing at KK going racing,? whats all that about anyway? I thought u guys were really supportive and always had full faith in me? right guys? :eek5: just like i always had faith in you all! like that time on the KB ride and you all left without me... but it was a test because i had to learn the road... and the time you all told me my tyre gauge was out 20psi and i needed to let them down, Oh and the time my engine was too tight so loosing power till we loosend off the bolts on the engine casings 1 full turn both sides... you guys have always been there for me... :eyepoke:

[k14]

Yeah, I think the restricted forum is a good idea. Im pretty sure it is possible with the software running the forum. Spankme?? Probably just to stop any deviants getting the info.

[Jbee]

Darn good to see like minded bikers out thier offerin assistance , Count me in ,Im more than willing to offer what ever assistance I can and can cover the area west of gissy to opotiki and posibly south to wairoa ,would be a pleasure ,specially knowin thiers willing bikers out thier that would do the same . Allso dont mind puttin up a biker or two for a night or two ,plenty space on the lounge floor and full size pool table up stairs ,and can soon arrange refreshments :msn-wink: ,. long as ya dont mind a couple of noisey rugg rats , have car and can hire or get trailer if needed ,allso have spare bike most times to offer if repairs to picked up bike are needed .

[SpankMe]

I have changed the notes system so that only senior members can view them. This way members can update their own details about what info they want to give and the help they wish to offer.

Now I have started a new thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=4385) with a list of member names that are linked to their notes. PM me once you have set up your notes with your details.

[Posh Tourer :P]

So can I post my file in that thread, and how do I restrict it to senior members only?

[SpankMe]

Sorry, unable to restrict a single attachment to senior members without updating the code. Using the notes system makes it easier to administer.

[Jbee]

If you are on the list but excluded due to post no's, I'll just email you the file when it gets posted

Cheers thanks for that Posh Tourer ,much appreciated :niceone:

You could update your document to include only those members who wish to have their info available to all KB members and repost it in the thread I created.

We are in Marton, Im contactable on (06)3275098 or 0275532280 and if I cant respond (work 2pm to 1am 6 days a week) Im sure I can get hold of some local bikers that can help.
Till our house sells, any riders pasing through that need a bed for night are welcome to ring.
Wife came across a biker in Bulls just recently that had dropped his bike and snapped the foot off his gearlever.... she rang me and I went over with drill and tools and a bolt to 'repair' teh pedal to get him rolling again. he wasnt a member here or of Ulysses so I encouraged him to sign up.

wouldnt it be good to have a KB freephone number that members can ring when in trouble and the 'calltaker' has the list of the local contacts that can respond...... now theres a KB site idea worth tossing round and members wouldnt have to carry a contact list with them when they travel just have the emergency assist number programmed in their phone :cool:

[topher]

I've got 4WD, trailer, room and some tools for fixing broken stuff, a spare room if the broken stuff can't be fixed quickly and a bit of spare time. I'm in Hamiltron (City of the Future) you can get hold of me on 027 246 6172.

I have been developing a new non-commercial site with this concept as the core service. I believe there is a real need for some kind of database of biker-friendly folk who will assist a downed or broken-down biker in trouble.

The site - www.bikermates.co.nz (http://www.bikermates.co.nz) - will be live in late July and include up to date weather, traffic and local information specifically aimed at bikers.

If anyone would like a quick message when the site is live please PM me.

Cheers,

[CookMySock]

just discovered this thread. If anyone is stuck in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, then gizus a call. No trailer or tie downs, but I can hire you one, and come get ya if you're in the crap. Can surf you on my couch until we get you on your way. Coffee pot is always hot. Plenty of broadband. Eat what we're eating - there's always a bit left over - fish and chip shop around the corner. Grab a vegemite sandwich outa the cupboard. Loads and loads of tools to fix almost anything. Can store a bike here, or in my mates shed.

If you're in gisborne, or anywhere really, and need to get west, I can come get ya - you pays diesel, RUC, trailer, etc - a six-hour drive.

Mostly there is someone at home, and usually I can get away, unless I have a job I can't put down.
