    My GN250 gave the kiss of life to a GSX-750 today

    My GN gave the kiss of life to a big GSX-750 today.

    The guy was at a petrol station doing some tinkering with his non-working bike, and noobie me came along and asked if there was anything I could do to help, and blow-me-down there actually was!
    All he needed was a jump-start, which I happily donated my bike's small amount of electricity to.

    So to all the noobs out there, you may be able to help even if you don't know anything about bikes.
    And to all the experienced riders out there, heh, you may never know when a good old GN may save your bacon!

    There always seems to be someone to rely on in the motorcycling community. Well done mate. Pat on the back.

    A whole new industry is born ... you should start charging for jumping now! On ya for proving that having the mighty Ginny is like having your own Swiss army pocket bike!

    I managed to do a similar thing, twice -- once in Newmarket, and once in the CBD. The Newmarket one was a guy with a flat battery on some oldish Suzook, with kickstart and electric. He didn't know how to use the kickstart, flooded the engine (you could smell petrol), and was about to call the AA when I saw him struggling. My bike was broken at the time, so I was on foot and couldn't jump start, but I managed to kickstart his bike (after my horrible starting problems I feel I can start almost anything now ). Same in the CBD, a guy on a big thumper trail bike on a really cold day that just wouldn't start. Managed to kickstart it as well . Makes me feel big and tough haha.

    Us owners of crappy and slow bikes do have our uses ^_^.

    Great story, Steam! Maybe one day my little Volty and I can help out a big tough bike. You think a GSX-750 would accept a jump start from a girlie on a 250 with an L-plate?
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
