An unforgettable weekend

[discount]

it all started when i decided to go to wellington to see my cousins.as a young boy with limited funds my budget was set if i had no dramas.but my trip down had many a drama.leaving from hamilton i made my way south.after a brief stop in taupo i carryed on.now to the drama.i came across some ice on the desert road and the bike and myself went down the clutch cover had taken most of the impact and made itself a big hole in it exposing my engine oil to go all over the road.i was ok just a sore leg.but was stuck with no money on phone and no reception.the police later arrived and told me the tow truck was on its way.3 and a half hours later patiently waiting after that some nice people stopped and offered to put me bike in the back of there ute.well i said yes as i was hungry and cold.they took me to turangi where was later told that the tow co. didnt get the message.i left my bike in the garage and went to sought out a place to stay.i was very fortunate to come across the very generous,hospitable,caring,helpful,etc members of the gutbuster crew who made me fell very welcome offering food and beverages,a cabin for a night and even to invite me onto a ride the next day.and to later put my bike onto the back of there ute and give me a ride home.i thank again each and everyone of the gutbuster crew for everything.i will never forget this weekend.the weekend when i became a kiwibike member.:niceone:

Sorry to read about your spill on the bike. Hope the repair bill doesn't blow the bank balance. Yes there are some really nice people out there and they were able to assist you. Welcome to KB and happy riding, right side up.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

So did you get the chance to sus out a new clutch cover.

[Motu]

You missed a good opportunity to be late for work....again.You could of said you had to push your bike home from Turangi.

Don't write posts like an RO....punctuation and spelling are required.

Good to know the biker community is out there willing and able to pick up the pieces eh?

Top story, but my god the OP was difficult to read. Next time I'm just posting TLDR.

[Guided_monkey]

Good to hear you survived your first off. Bikes are replaceable so being able to walk away is a GOOD thing.

Put it down to experience and keep riding.

''A deus ex machina (Latin IPA: [ˈdeːus eks ˈmaːkʰina] (literally "god out of a machine") is an improbable contrivance in a story. The phrase describes an artificial, or improbable, character, device, or event introduced suddenly in a work of fiction or drama to resolve a situation or untangle a plot (such as an angel suddenly appearing to solve problems).''

Sometimes real life is better than fiction.

But you have had your quota for the year - there is no magic fix for the RAV4.

Did someone say hitcher would be along soon? :dodge:

I think it has been mentioned, however allowances do need to be made for people who are not that used to computers. We can not all have perfect punctuation.

I'm always pleasantly surprised at the comradery between motorcyclists -glad you got to experience it even though the circumstances were not the best!

You do realise that you are going to have to pay it back to someone else at some stage ;)

(such as an angel suddenly appearing to solve problems).''

I believe Wendy filled the requirements to justify the Angel title on this occasion.
It was very heartwarming to see her, and Pete's, kindness and consideration. Even when they were in strife themselves - stranded with a flat tyre, they were thinking of their new charge. Concern for Daniel's lack of funds had them ringing another ride member to get them to spring for his lunch. This was done double apparently...
Daniel's weekend started out shite and was completely transformed by the crew at Turangi. A little like mine too.
I applaud the actions of the Kiwi Biker crew who rode to Turangi for the weekend.
It was a very enjoyable trip. Good times and good company.
