In reference to this thread I just want to shout that Squiggles is a KB legend.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=66062&highlight=servicing+question

Squiggles on the previous Saturday volunteered to help me change an oil filter to save me money and also help me learn about my bike including maintenance checks etc. Squiggles (Steve) didn’t just do the oil change he pulled off the fairings to show me the major parts of my bike, pointed out hoses, how to check em and what parts of my bike are actually silver not black (I swear I thought they were black! Not just dirty) 4 hours Steve spent answering all my dumb questions and when I tried to give him 100 bucks he said no. I then offered to buy a bottle of alcohol and the guy said ok....Malibu rum for my girl. Even then Steve wouldn’t think of himself. Steve also had a lady pick up a laptop he spent 5 hours fixing for her and charged a nominal fee. He is one of the KB biker good guys and from our conversation I can tell he helps and enjoys helping others for nothing.


Steve you are a legend and the world needs more of you.
Thank you soooooo much and I just wanted to make this public as Im sure others would like to tell you just how much you are appreciated.

Perhaps but its things like what he did for a total stranger that restores my faith in humans. Unfortunately lately all I see is thugs running the streets and negative crap so it was refreshing :)

We are always quick to jump on an ass and have 5 pages of comments about how stupid a person is or go on about killings and murders and look at this, a positive post and it gets two posts. Sign of the times I guess just boring to others if its not bloody or gory or putting someone down.

Alright, so last night I ran outta petrol on the m'way thinking I would just hit reserve ya know so :blank: who cares! But, turns out I don't seem to have any reserve, nope, well that's great. So call my gf to come with petrol and guess who turns up with her with jumper leads and a high-vis vest? Yep, Squiggles! Oh and then the cops too. By the way, I was sitting on side of m'way with indicator in for safety and ONE person pulled over to check I was ok in over an hour, and he'd seen me on other side and got off and turned around for me!!!

Anyway... By then the battery was almost flat, couldn't bump start on the gravel, so off we went to Squiggles and stole the Dilworth trailor, ramp, and tie downs... Back to the bike which we loaded up, tied down, and on our way to all have an icecream on the way home 2 hours after I'd run out, about ten past MIDNIGHT!!!! Squiggles chucked my battery on charge and I bade him farewell... 'till in about half an hour when I go grab my bike for the ride heading north from Uni :woohoo:

Cheers Stephen you are the man!
