stuck on the road side

[old slider]

Tried searching, and its probably a stupid question, But here goes.

If you suddenly find yourself on the side of the road broken down between towns what is the common response that you regular bike riders have? particularly if its after hours.

This is for us returning riders and those new to bikes.

A lot of insurance companies will do 24/7 Road Side Assist as well mate.

Saw a woman standing by a Harley at the roadside a few weeks ago. She was a study in disinterest so I didn't stop. There was a HP car behind us and he stopped. That was nice because his radar was making me deaf.

I'll second the motion to have a 24/7 phone number.

Many years ago that very thing happened, A KBer from Dunedin had bike trouble in Huntly (it's almost between towns) and he called me. I was at a Pub up the coast from Warkworth so I called another KBer and asked him to put a thread up asking for help. Ixion saw the thread, he knew Motu in Huntly (who is a mechanic) Phone numbers were exchanged and Motu went and collected stuck rider/gave a place to sleep and sorted things the next morning.

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?

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

Actually there have been quite a few members logging on KB and asking for help/advise ... either for themselves or another rider. I myself ... have gone in assistance of a members son that had run out of fuel a few km's from where I was living. Many members log on here on their phone ... and many members have logged on here at all hours of the day (and night) .... so the power of KB should not be underestimated ...

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?

Unless you do the KB wave, no one is going to stop.

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

Swann and Protecta are the best insurance I've sold and dealt with over the years.

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 ...
