    Hey There Jack, Racey and Wkid
    That is a very generous and genuine offer you have made. It is guys like you that make me proud to be a member of the biking fraternity.I have always considered that most bike riders are caring people and do look out for each other when out on the road, even if it's only a wave of acknowledgement. I guess this come down to our love of "two wheels" regardless of what we ride. I hope I never need to use your services but it is great to know that you are out there and available if I ever do.
    Keep up the great work and ride safe.

    Cheers

    Robbo

    This is great we can have a whole "incident" support system in place that would save heaps if you don't need a towing company. Have no car trailer or space but will help out where possible.

    This would be an excellent thing to see happening. If something happened to my bike id feel a little awkward about bothering someone (let alone someone I dont know) to get a hand/ride, however.

    Good on ya, Mr. Jackrat
    Awesome show of solidarity, guys! Makes me all weepy

    I'd like to offer similar support to any rider needing help between Waihi and Tauranga.Call any time on 027 244 1567 Sharon & Andy
    Have ute and full workshop and will travel...soon we could have the whole roading network covered.

    Perhaps we should have a register of people who can help in the event of an off or breakdown.

    Yeah that concept of a register happened in the BMWOR, perhaps a dedicated page people could print out etc.?

    Edit: BMWOR had a booklet, with name, number, area, and categories such as workshop, trailer/transport, accomodation, coffee/chat anytime, and a few others I cant recall. The family left the BMWOR recently as it became too many pretty boys on weekend toys (that and father got bored of riding - too much been there done that)

    We need to put all you guys in a map on the site for easy reference. What do you reckon?

    You guys are making me feel all unfriendly - ok,I have a trailer and van set up to haul bikes,I work too much,but am certainly prepard to help anyone in need...I have a full workshop and some small knowledge of how a bike works - a tyre machine with motorcycle adapters,so we can repair a flat tyre no trouble,beer and motorcycle magazines to help idle moments.Browze the workshop,count the bikes.

    re all these good ideas

    Sounds like we are onto somthing here,given the geographical diversity of our domicles, we could have some form of registar of memebers who are prepared to assit,Depending on how many we got perhaps a laminated A5 sheet with contact details would be handy to carry with us. I have access to one of those laminating thingys should we need.

    I have been happy to help out in the past, and like others have a bike trailer, tie downs etc, plus a few contacts for after hours assistance from a bike dealer.
    Also due to Mrs FF deciding we need to live in a palatial mansion we will, in a couple of weeks have a house with a large lock up garage suitable to store bikes.

    So I guess its up to some IT type (notice I didn't say computer geeks) to get this thing up and running.

    Good one you Jack for sharing the idea.
