stuck on the road side

[Gremlin]

No list exist, the procedure is fairly simple, you logon and request assistance giving details including your phone number and wait for a response.

As long as you put it in the right forum

Have a good look at YOUR own Friends list ... is the advice I give to members. Even friends you haven't met. Have friends in all parts of the country ... or log in to KB and see who else has logged in that you don't have on ignore (or worse).

I suspect Cassina probably wouldn't help me. Probably just as well actually ... would be safer without her (it's) help ...

But would YOU help Cassina?

Precisely, but if not, a kind hearted Mod will ensure that it will be moved to the correct forum with no infraction collected due to the circumstances.

I probably would actually ... I've stopped quite a few times on the road to help (or ask if they need help). If I really need help .. I don't really get that fussed who helps me ...

Yer a better man than me then FJ, cause I would not piss on that bitch if she was on fire,Neva.
Having said that, I've stopped to enquire of Harlyey riders, trumpy riders, all sorts as to if they're OK, helped a few, meet many good buggers, hard to ride or drive past a stopped bike.
Wife and I are both with roadside assist outfits, it's come in very handy over the years, transported a totally US Kwakasaki Eliminator (Literally blew apart the gear box, stone hit exactly on the end of the gear lever)from Taihape's Gentle Annie Highway back to Dorkland, took the AA 3 weeks but they got it back to us, nearly in one piece.Wife very upset her bike was so badly hurt, thankfully she wrangled it under control and coasted to a stop, no damage to her.
Poor ol Bandit looked pretty sad with 2 tubbies and gear aboard, but the ride back to Taihape was actually very satisfying, first tiem with wife on the baqck of my bike for nerly 20 years.
Good her having her own bike, but you know what, even after 20 yrs, she hopped on the back and within 5 minutes, she simply wasn't there, just like she used to be, way bck in the day.
Slidy mate, Swann do good insurance and a comprehensive roadside assist package too.

My AA membership at about $70 a year takes care of me. Collected and transported me twice and got me running again once.

+1 on the AA, I have AA Plus and that got my bike shipped home ( 800kms) and a motel for the night plus cheaper gas and

countdown discount yadda yadda yadda.

Actually, I think we went to Mangawhai to meet up with you lot, but you may not have been a part of the 'you lot' lot back then?


Party Time

Yep, I remember the incident tho...

[Maha]

.... so the power of KB should not be underestimated ...

That and discussing the integrity of the molecular structure of materials used in the construction industry.

[Maha]

Cheers guys, I will look at insurance and AA.

Does KB have a list of people (ph numbers) around the country that maybe available to assist or help if contacted?

This idea was put forward in 2005, obviously didn't go any further.

Thanks for the input guys, just read through about 50 pages of mostly Gobbly Gook in my motorcycle insurance policy and found a small section on roadside assistance, so am feeling abit happier.

Now, the other thing I found while ploughing my way through all the jargon was that you must notify if you alter or add to your motorcycle in any way, wonder if adding the little tool bag has to be notified?

I imagine once my suspension has been improved with new Ohlins and racetech etc, and the new exhaust system fitted I wont have any cover if something happens on the ride back from New Plymouth? they (insurance companies) always seem to be looking for a way out.

Ditto. You normally find they have run out of petrol:-)

You'll find alterations/modifications don't affect insurance near as much as is made out. As long as you have a chat with your insurer about changes, most minor stuff is fine.

I am hoping they reduce my premiums after spending so much to improve the handling and optimally the safety of the bike, lol.
