No use to anyone wanting a recovery.
As a student of computers and networks I am offering my services.
Where this is a major a Koha to the site may be required, and you may need to supply dinner.
See my user note for details.

My user note does not appear to display, am I showing how much practice I need or is there a reason?

I Have a ute set up to carry bikes, went to do a good samaritan up on woodcocks Rd last thursday but by the time I got back there everone had scarpered. I should have got a cell No. I guess, Stupid of me.
Still shit does happen and I'm happy to help if a biker needs it.
Can also help out with graphics and replica stickers if your haveing difficulty scourcing them for your bike.

Is Posh still handling this?

Whoever is I've made with the user note. I can help with recovery and storage around the Wgtn region most of the time. Can also help with minor repairs.

Cheers,

Mark.

In my opinion this having to be a senior to add your name to the help services list is about as dumb as it gets. Just what's the reasoning behind it? I belong to a club and have helped, shown around, offered a camp site, towed bikes back. You name it and I've done it to help a fellow biker out!!

The way I see it is that help on this site is very thin on the ground. Especially in the provinces. I would have thought the more people that offered to help the better.

For example If I were in a province doing the back roads (like you do) and I broke down. But couldn't afford a towee.
I have only one "Senior"person to ring. If he's not home. Or his shoe phone is turned of. I'm in the shit.

So the more the merrier I would of thought. Anyway that's my two penneth's worth.

'tis a good point but I'd suggest the next step is to ring someone - anyone on KB and have them post a "help wanted" note online...

It's happened quite a number of times to good effect.

There are a lot of Riders that do help on this site that have choosen not ta put their personal details on the Members Offering Help list for good reason. I respect them for their choices. Please don't knock the list just because ya think more should be on it (that is my option).

Have shifted again. No longer have a workshop and accommodation is sparse, but can still do pick-up (see my user notes).

I wasn't knocking the list or anyone on it. I think anyone should be able to put their name forward if they are genuine and want to help a fellow biker in distress.

I belong to the Ulysses club and I always carry my assistance book in the bag.

As they run a system that anyone can put their name forward from first joining the club to help in several ways.

Like camp site, breakdown, recovery, ride out, show other members the sites, stopover, accommodation, get the picture.

Not a bad Idea you must agree. I thought a site with thousands of members would have more than say 50 odd people to give assistance to mates in every aspect.

If anyone gets stuck in my neck of the woods (Wanganui) I will only be to pleased to help out, if I can. Give us a PM for contact numbers. Well that's my threepence worth.
cheers.
