I am truly humbled

[SARGE]

i dont mean to waffle on here .. but i have something to say.. and this will be very difficult for me to do so .. i am not the 'touchy feely emotional type' but this has to be said..


the last 6 months have been very difficult for me. many things that i dont broadcast have and are happening in my life right now. from the support i have been shown in the bloody job thread to some very personal issues i am dealing with. for the most part, you all have been top notch

there is one man in particular i would like to single out without naming names.

this man has stood by me when things are lowest. he has had me out to his place with my son to crack off a few rounds at some paper targets and generally been one of the best friends i could ever hope to have. When my son was injured and we spent a fortnight in Starship.. he was there nearly every day bringing Big Macs and Bike mags and keeping me sane with his goofy humor. there is no way i can ever hope to repay him in kind

this is from a man who didnt know me from Adam 4 years ago

i am very stingy with the word " Friend" for various reason, most of which being that i have serious trust issues and always feel that there are always ulterior motives to someone being nice to me. not with this man.. he does without expectation of repayment or praise. He accepts me at face value and always understands me.

he is a true brother in my eyes and i would kill or die for him.. he is the type of father, friend and man i can only aspire to become one day. i feel totally unworthy of your friendship

you know who you are .. you will always have a place at my table


thank you

[bell]

Well done that man.

Good to hear that things are looking brighter for you too Sarge!

Nice one Sarge.
But I reckon he knows you obviously are well worthy of his friendship.

Even though he knows who he his....let us all in on this chaps identity.....he's done some great things.

Hope things are on the up.

he would be embarrassed if i did .. if he wants his good deeds recognized, i will let him front up himself

Good post Sarge, makes ya proud to be a KBer don't it?

I know this guy, offered to put me and Sue up in a hotel when we travelled all the way to Welly for a funeral. Wouldn't take no for an answer. Same guy continually pushed me to give road racing ago, 'till I finally had the confidence to do it.

Another, offered me his VERY tricked out Gixxer Thou' SuperBike for VMCC Round I after I crashed the six.

Another sent his van all the way from Auckland to Welly so I had a way of moving up here a couple of years back.

Another singlehandedly set up my sponsorship and team ride for the upcoming season. There's a hundred other people I could thank as well. KBers, all of 'em.

This silly little forum has a great deal to be proud of.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

I not say anything cause Sarge will just want me to wear a clown outfit

i could thank hundreds also Jimmy, you being one of them Big Dave, Sniper, Crashe, and many more, but this particular gentleman has gone above and beyond the call of duty recently and shown his total unselfishness when i am at the lowest point in my life

hell man .. you already have a good start

[Crasherfromwayback]

he would be embarrassed if i did .. if he wants his good deeds recognized, i will let him front up himself

And I dare say he'll be too modest to do so.

I'll front - and do it with pride. I'm not belittling what you've said, it humbles me in turn.

I'll stand at your side, or sit at your table anytime. Any time at all. Likewise you are welcome at mine.

Nice one Sarge.

So much said in one short sentence. You got it in one.

To be honest - I'm lost for something to say... as Jimmy said I'm not the only one - but to say that belittles what was said. The impact of it is incredible, and I don't want to say anything to change that. I don't want to turn this into a back patting thing. SARGE you know where you stand...

Way to go mate! I owe you a couple of beers now!

I have heard it said that a man may be measured in part by the quality of his friendships.

I know whom you speak of and Nigel is a truly remarkable man, I am proud to call him a friend.
KB does have an astonishing number of bloody good folk involved and I am constantly pleased and surprised at how much great work goes almost unnoticed.
Sarge, you may not know it, but others would also do much for you if they knew what would help.
All the best mate.

[Sniper]

Nige, well done.

i know that Mack.. and as i have said there are many things in my life right now that not many know about.. i am a fairly tight lipped individual mostly ( some have even recently used the phrases 'cold hearted' and ' ruthless' ) but the friends that i have found on here help me get through some tight times.
