What a great community Kiwi Biker is!

[vifferman]

I had a wee crisis tonight - #2 TroglodyteMutantSpawn's new bed was delivered, and due to 3rd-world QA, two of the bolt holes where the frame attaches to the bed head were untapped.
So...what to do... what to do....


[insert light bulb icon here]
I contacted a fellow KBer - someone I'd only met once, who I knew lived somewheres on the North Shore, who'd done a lot of work on his bike, and possibly... maybe... had some thread taps.
Yup, he did! Not only did Renegade Master have some, but he even tapped the threads for me while I waited and bored him with various biking waffle.
So this is a public thank-you Scott: you're a bona fide Top Bloke!

This does, however, put a dent in my "No good deed goes unpunished" theory. Most of my past good deeds have resulted in lots of shit coming my way, so it's nice to have some of the good stuff.
It also made me realise I need to stop being such a Loner Biker Dude and socialise more, get to know more of you Top Blokes and Blokesses.

'Onya RM

Yeah Viffer, get to know them around ya dude....

Bling sent, it is indeed a good community mostly

[PirateJafa]

RM just wants to get into your pants.

You have been warned.

[The Stranger:Me]

FFS he does you a good deed and you ruin his carefully crafted reputation.

It's alright RM, I still think you're a cunt.

[Katman]

But have you actually tried screwing the bolts in yet?

Good one mate - however reading your post I did have a strange mental image of him with his pants around his ankles tapping it in ...... note to self - must get more sleep.

[EJK]

Don't be a hater!

[Pussy]

Yeah.... he probably tapped them as a left hand Whitworth or something.....

He test-fitted them for me while I was there, and the bed's all assembled and test-slept in.

I'd love to come!
Unfortunately, I expect to be recuperating.
I'm scheduled to have my erl pump overhauled either next Friday or the following Thursday.

See above - actually 8mm with 1.5mm thread. Perfect!

While I'm blathering on here (but I'll probably start another thread as well) - this reminded me of another forum I'm on, where they have a "Pay It Forward" forum, for people to pass on bike bits (gear, spare parts, etc.) that they no longer need and are offering to fellow bikers who have a need. I think (having donated lots of spare gear to noobies) that this is a great idea for Kiwi Biker, as is a forum for people who need a hand with fixing stuff or who can give a hand helping out with various things. I'm a bit of a dab handyman with a variety of things, so don't mind helping out other people who are less handy or who don't have the right tools.
