    Thanks Ducati guy - Snells Beach (23 Dec)

    Thanks to the random guy who was trying to have a picnic with his kids on the beach, and ended up helping us load a bike into a truck.

    My Bro-In-Law and I were trying to load a GN250 up a ramp into a (borrowed) small truck. We obviously didn't know what we were doing, so this guy came over and offered to help. He said he has a Ducati and a dirt bike at home and has loaded bikes onto trailers often. He was really good at it and definitely saved us dropping a bike on our toes!

    Anyway we got the GN250 home safely and it's about to become an engine-donor for my Volty.

    Thanks Mr Picnic Guy.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Thats a great story.....I guess most of us would try and help another biker if we could.

    I think I only know one KBer in Snells Beach but doesnt ride a Ducati.

    Of course he is a helpful guy as all Ducati owners are like that. Dont even have to ask them for help they just get it there and help whoever, wherever,whenever.

    Have to say this was the first thing to cross my mind...

    So, klingon, will you have the engine transplant done by tomorrow?

    He is probably quite used to Trailering the Duke as something is constantly falling off.

    Are you suggesting, Ducati and/or dirt bike riders are more "experienced" at transporting their rides... than other motorcyclists... ???

    There may be 57 reasons why bike are better than men but it don't mean shit if you haven't got a man to get your bike for you.

    No, I will spend today recruiting people to do the dirty work. See you soon for that coffee!

    Oh-oh. So the next person I see struggling with a bike I have to go and help them... actually I think it would be more of a favour if I didn't help them...
