Been thinkin bout this....

**Waihou Thumper** · 26th November 2009, 20:49

We all chat on Kiwibiker with out alias's etc....
We all PM each other and say hello, we also have a great rappor and have fun.
There are occasions where we meet, ride, drink coffee and shoot the shit!
The thing is, on the odd occasion we all meet and have a really great ride or be it a weekend get together, I feel it would be good to try and introduce each other with our Kiwibiker name on out helmet or bike or both if you want to....
Dakar riders have the blood group on the helmet and sometimes on the bike as well as the name, so why can't we?

What we need is some nice person to have access to that decal cutting thingy machine, advertise this and maybe it will take off? I for one would be keen yo have NZKTM and A+ on my helmet and bike....
It would help identify me on group rides and act as bit of an ice-breaker too for new riders and those www stragers we keep chatting to!

What do you guys think? I think it could be cool, we are already members of an exclusive club..ADV has decals, we can have identities too, plus the extra bonus, blood type!

Yeah great idea. I used to use my wifes NZ Blood Collection key ring because it's red and easy to find if I drop it until it was pointed out to me that it has HER blood type on it

The idea is we ALL have the same I.D. The kwibiker name, the blood type on the helmet, ot the bike somewhere....
It will identify us on group rides and if anythinf untoward happens...?
There are occasions where we don't always know the real name of our fellow rider....(been there done that on the biggies)
It happens.
This will help the cause....I am sure..

We just need the support and a clever sign writer with a motorbike belonging to Kiwibiker....

There must be one around here somewhere? DAKAR (if you read this) - perhaps Mr Newdick?

I wouldn't worry about blood type - the hospital is going to give you Oneg until they have typed and crossed you themselves anyway. I like the idea of KB names though - it's always hard to track real names against who you actually talk to on KB. How can we ensure that the adhesive on any decals is helmet compatible?

i can help with the decals, i know a chap, he did my bike when i sprayed it black, obviously its his business, but if we get enough people interested we could get a bulk purchase deal im sure. If someone comes up with the art, ill check it out and see what it will cost,

Thanks...I am sure that if it happened.....The Blood type on your helmet might stand for something like a 'Medic Alert' bracelet? I don't know....But coming from an Emergency Services background the information may be a great startting point. Why would you fake a blood type on your helmet?

As for the adhesive quality? I have had and still have a few good quality decals on my helmet and they would have no issue staying there with no apparent damge to your helmet.....
You ain't gonna change blood type are ya?

Vampires amongst us......
The sort of decals I am thinking of are vinyl, easy to put on and take of, leave no residue, and are cheap.....
Fore instance, a name, blood type may be just $10-12....easy..

Have you thought of contacting SpankMe to see if it's possible to add members names to the KB stickers that are already available?

Maybe two sizes, one for the helmet across the back or on the side. Then maybe the bike somewhere? No real options, primarily helmet and maybe front guard or tank?

Why would you want to put it there anyway? Heaven forbid you ever get damaged enough to require any kind of blood transfusion, but frankly no doctor in their right mind is going to take one look at your helmet and say "give him 2 units of B- stat!"

KB handle yes, blood type NO.

agrees

maybe list it in ya phone if ya wish "ICE blood type" but still it wouldnt realy matter. ...... but if you have a rare/strange grouping ya should be carrying/ wearing something anyway.

my kb name came from my bike decal/nickname
