I would have however, Tuesdays is cheap movie night in town and it would be rude to not be there at home with the guy and also I don't know of the guy - the whole safety thing, you know and I have my boarder to look out for.

have never meet a dodgy kber yet & had a few that I have either stayed with or they have stayed with me. Even house sat for a couple that I had met once. I understand your concerns though. Most kbers seem to be very appreciative of the ability to stay with others around the country & do not abuse it .. great way to meet others with bikes as an interest as well

How the hell did you get a name like Meanie?

I've shied away from houseguests since I had the guest from hell. Lost the plot, wandered around outside with no clothes on, let the dog go free, bailed up and terrified my partner, crapped in three beds and left shit all over the bathroom (I really do mean SHIT)

. All in less than 24 hours!
I hope that doesn’t put you off!

Sounds like you had a bad experience Ferris .... I feel lucky that we have had twenty or so Kbers stay at our place and no one has done anything like that yet. or anything bad fullstop ... I hope that continues for me and grub and that your luck with guests changes!!

I know where you are coming from though we have fostered for CYFS for about 15 years now and i have a few horrer stories of my own, if it all turns to custard and we end up with a nutter I,ll just send him next door to Cowboyz for the night

Don't worry too much about being kidnapped. Your rapidly cooling carcass will be dumped in a hole someplace, its your bike the host would be after.

no, no, not the host, he's (relatively) normal

it's the neighbour you gotta watch out for

just turn up with bourbon and you should get out with all your extremities intact
