KB recovery vehicle - Auckland.

[FROSTY]

This has been well covered off elsewhere but just to refresh memories.
My van sits at my yard/home in Corban Avenue In Henderson Auckland
Im here pretty much 7 days a week
Its used occasionally by me for bike pickup
The van is setup with with 1450mm rear door opening--(big enough for all bikes ),
Comes with tiedowns,tiedown eyes,and a propper loadup ramp.
It is available for KBers to use --Be it to pickup a busted bike or to transport a bike for work.

RULES
Simple --Check the water and oil BEFORE use.Check water n oil AFTER use.

NOW THIS BIT I NEVER THOUGHT ID NEED TO MENTION--when youve checked the oil --if its low top it up
ALWAYS return it with as much fuel than it had when you took it.
You fuck it you fix it

The latest addition is a 7x4 trailer and a single axle bike trailer to take 2 bikes. They DEFINITELY take a couple of bikes no problems it has tie down points aplently,Lights etc.
Same rules apply --break it-fix it etc etc

If in need of the van/trailer call --0210354615

[justsomeguy]

Is this for recovery only??

Or could we hire it to go to say the Taupo track??

By the way are you going to the Taupo trackday on the 28th of July??

[Finn]

Does it come with a guitar?

[imdying]

Most generous, bling for you!

[FROSTY]

theres an idea --
Would people be adverse to paying a rental for track day use?
Basicly as long as Im not using it Im happy for others to.
One advantage over normal rental vans--It knows the way to Taupo well and truely

[Clivoris]

Man, you deserve a sainthood. If you're ever passing through Gisborne you should call in on my sister. :gob:

[Colapop]

Hell, members should have a direct credit into your acc. for all the work you do round here.

BTW, How's the bits? You coming right now?

I think its a good idea, seeing you have made it available for use by KBers. I think it'll be nice to assist you with the running cost of the van, even if they are paying for their share of use

[FROSTY]

can this be made a sticky? for awhile anyhow.
OHH guess what--Im looking at an old ex ambulance as a possible replacement-- 3.2 x1.8 interior deck --yumee

[FROSTY]

rebooting this one as a reminder

[El Dopa]

Return the van with more gas than it had when you took it.

Done and done, mate. She's a thirsty beast, but.

[FROSTY]

The latest addition to my fleet is a 7x4 trailer. It DEFINITELY takes an average bike no problems it has tie down points aplently,Lights etc.
Same rules apply --break it-fix it etc etc

[martin987]

I'll need to move a bike around 18/19 October. Can I borrow van then please?

[FROSTY]

Just pinging this up again as a reminder.
The van and trailer live at my work 24/7 and are availlable to borrow

[The Lone Rider]

Very generous Frosty

My club is slowly saving to buy a recovery trailer with ramp and strops. Hopefully will be available for others to use when we aren't.

Big thumbs up frosty

hats of to you frosty very generous of you
bump

[FROSTY]

hey guys just a reminder here. Van has been to hopital and is happy

[madbikeboy]

In a Frosty gesture...

I have a trailer that is good for a sportsbike, has a big plastic container on the front, and has a low tail (designed for carrying jetskis, but I wouldn't advise riding up the trailer like you would on a ski).

Can be used for emergencies, and recoveries, but not for moving house (not really suitable). Reg/WoF'd.

PM me.

The serious answer, Auckland's North Shore.

The flippant answer is: depends who's asking. If you're wearing blue and I just did something bad, not here, and it wasn't me; but if you're female and incredibly kinky, then the answer is wherever you tell me to be :spanking:

[FROSTY]

Ok folks the long suffering KB van was geting a wee bit long in the tooth and is now in semi retirement at a dive companies gear van.
BUT--DRUMROLL there is a now a new (er) van available.
This one is a Diesel, Manual Homy 4wd long wheel base. with a towbar.
I dont know myself --darn thing has fripperies like working Aircon/heater,central locking ,electric windows and power steering -and a sound system that works.

Hey Frosty I am returning to NZ in 5-6 weeks.. upon my arrival Im going to be getting my bike out of my storage unit... taking it home - stripping off the fairings then taking it down the road to my mate to bolt on new shit/ top end rebuild, and then taking home again, do I qualify to use the van ?

[Nagash]

Could this not be considered as a sticky of some sort?

It's a very generous and useful offer.

[FROSTY]

Ok the van has changed again--its now once again a high roof hiace

[FROSTY]

Just refreshing this as a reminder folks. The van is available as is my trailer.
Current van is a 93 High roof long wheelbase hiace with ramp and tiedowns fitted.

[Scotty595]

Does this count for out of auckland pickups too? ie if I need to pick a broken bike up from down the line somewhere to bring up to auckland?

[FROSTY]

Yep it sure does. --Heck a certain cheeky lil trashman even used it to move house from wellytown to the mighty auckland a few years back

[Scotty595]

Bloody good. Good to know its there if anyone needs it. :2thumbsup:

[Mustek]

Very kind frosty. You're a legend.

Fingers crossed I never need to take up the offer though. :-)

[scooute]

Legendary offer, that knighthood :first: sounds deserved... Go the KB spirit! :ride:

[Maha]

If I wanted to get a bike form say Waitakere to Warkworth, would you bring Pizza as well?

[FROSTY]

Just a heads up that this offer stands. Current van is a standard roof height (1200mm) Hiace with ramp and a couple of tie downs. It'll take most bikes but extra tall tourers might need mirrors /top boxes removed

[9rider]

Very generous offer

Untill Frosty gets another van I have just aquired a long wheel base L300. Should take most bikes, only got a plank of wood for a ramp though, but happy to help if anyone needs a hand with something. Just send me a PM or
my number is in my profile. I am free most days at the moment, and for the next couple months. I also can get a trailer if need be.

[badlieutenant]
