    To a great mate!

    Well, where do I begin?

    From all the times that I've needed a quick repair job, plastic welds done, *cough* help with oil changes, needed to be picked up from crashes / punctures from out in the boonies, the riding tips ive been taught, Logan aka Kwaka-Kid has always been there for me. But last night pretty much tops it off...

    The day started off with me and my girlfriend cruising over to repco and buying a head unit for her new car. Having never put a head unit in before, I thought pfft, how hard can it be right? Unplug the other one, plug the new one in, and voila, piece of cake.

    WRONG.

    Well, stupidly i couldnt even get the dash part around the head unit off, so once again, I speed dial logan off the celly - I had a feeling he was riding home from work, but he usually picks up if i try 2 or 3 times. Sure enough

    Logan : "Hey bro, wahsup! Im trying to ride home!"
    Shade : "Hey man! Gotta problem, trying to put a head deck in... help?"
    Logan : "Sweet, half way there, be there soon!"

    No hesitation or anything.

    We both start getting into removing the old head deck, and soon his worst thoughts come true - wrong plugs at the back which mean cutting and joining wires. It should really be a day job he says.

    With no Multimeter, wire strippers, and sunlight fading, he begins to try and figure out which wire goes where. I accidentally electrocuted him at this point (Sorry bro). 3 hours later, i'm the official torch holder (tm), and hes got it all done.

    He doesnt even let me take us out for dinner, instead its off to check up with 6chris6 and chat about the new bike hes just got, etc etc.

    Just wanted to say thanks heaps man. For everything. Your an awesome mate, and im sure heaps on here would agree the amount of selfless work is astounding.

    Thanks bro.

    Top notch bloke KK. Hope many more people can learn from you
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Hahahahahahaha

    He'll hate this thread.
    So I thought I'd chime in too
    Logan is the most mature 19yo I've ever met, shit, I've got 10 yrs on him and he's still a lot more mature than me
    The amount of times he's helped me out is beyond a joke.
    I just hope he knows that if he ever needs ANYTHING he talks to me.
    You Logan, are a legend.
    Chris

    I know what you mean Shade. He has done heaps for me and although I have managed to do a little for him in return, it doesnt balance out at all. Honestly, I cant thank you enough KK, you and FF are unsung heroes on this site.
