A lesson for all...

[buellbabe]

awww shucks... all this feel good stuff is making me blub... lol!

great stuff!

But then I have always thought the motorcycling brother/sisterhood is a cut above the rest

[Colapop]

A couple of the boys from the building site have bikes... I had a yarn or three to them and they've registered for a trackday (I think one is now a KBer... dunno who he is tho...) It's great just to yarn about bikes and shit.. A real comraderie..

4UEA and D&B done good!

[Meanie]

Bloody well done guys The friendship between bikers runs very deep and a hell of a long way back i remember when i first started riding (too far back to remember) we always waved to each other and always stopped if another was on the side of the road, there was a lot fewer of us back then too
Bling sent, well deserved

[Unit:Me]

Yes bling sent. I have a back up plan, being a girly rider often on my own at night. I have state roadside rescue but with the fantastic amount of fellow motorcylist friends I have made particularly through KB I know there will always be a solution, oh and I can phone home too and share the problem. The key is keeping the maintainance up to scratch to prevent breakdowns as much as possible in the first instance. There will always be the unexpected but its worth eliminating as many possibles. Simply cleaning the bike often helps identify problem areas. Good on the newbie for being so keen to ride, and hopefully he will tap into the wealth of knowledge lurking around in this forum.

Awesome job guys!

Nice to be nice and help a noobie out, pays to help others, I'm a big believer in Karma in that respect! Good on you for helping the chap and teaching him how to look after his bike.

thanks too all those who have blinged etc its very humbling and its what we do as motorcyclist in ways of support,clansmanship that keeps us together

[Cr1MiNaL]

Agreed v good of u guys to help him out. better thn getin ripped off at a garage i say. I hope if/when i come off someone helps me sort my shit out wud be such a good feeling getin help from people in the know....

[Pancakes]

Bling for you and yep, clean the moving bits of the bike regularly, not just the painted bits and you can make sure everything is in it's place and know what it should be like if it moves.

[rideNroot]

Lesson learnt.
Been hitting the general maintenance manuals!

[Chrislost]

This raises another important point too. That is, having an emergency break down plan. For example, having the number of some person or organisation who can come and get your bike if some helpful rider doesn't happen past and save your arse.

what are such organisations?
espially for a dorklander who would be heading on a coro loop...
cos thats a fair way from home :O

I'm signed up with Swann insurance, and they have roadside assistance, but I believe that the AA does it as well.

Good man... it's people like you that keep the world turning (with enough chain lube and tension around the solar system)... ok, I'm rambling now...
