Aint that the truth !!!
Like to think my Karma is in credit and it does seem to always work as you say ! To the point where i don't even stress too much, thinking it'll happen for me !
This forum is pretty spesh though, had a situaton where i needed (could have done without, but really wanted the bike set up with clipons that weekend) some parts picked up in auck ! A young biker stuck his hand up and ran around, WAY out of his way for me just so i had these bits that weekend ! Then refused any sort of renumeration for it !

I binned my bike on the west coast in the middle of nowhere a few years back. A biker going to pick up firewood in his truck stopped to help and ended up sticking the bike in his truck, driving it to Nelson then had it shipped to Wellington for me.
I continued on holiday (albeit on the back of my mates bike) and it when I got home the bike was waiting at the depot for me.
He said he stopped to help me cos someone helped him when he ran out of gas in the Aussie outback.
Ever since then I stop for everytime for bikers... and most cars if it looks like they still need help.

This is exactly what 'pay it forward' is about - you do good deeds for others and it makes them think about how great it is that you were willing to help them out, this inspires them to start helping others out too. The end result is a huge number of good bugers on this site and elsewhere that are willing to put up a weary traveller for the night or bring out a trailer to pick up a broken bike or whatever.

To all the good buggers here:

Ok so i'm not sure if this is paying it foward or not but here goes.......

We got 3 good deeds in one weekend

Balzy and i were on a group ride last saturday(Primo day), Got a bloody puncher which resulted in a flat tire in the bloody middle of no where,

1st deed was Group effort by the rest of the riders(you all know who you are)and the dude who lives across from the school got us up and running again,

2nd deed was Chanceyy who gave me a lift so Balzys tire could mend alittle,

And the 3rd deed was yungatart and MSTRS who scored us a cheap temp tire till the funds pick up,

So now we have 3 lots to pay foward and were looking foward to it

Reminds me--Wasn't there a movie on that subject?

**MSTRS:Me** · 5th February 2009, 09:57

Yep. Based on a book. Good family film

We are happy for touring motorcyclists to stay at our place for a few nights, use our workshop and internet connection, etc purely because we enjoy their company. So far we haven't been disappointed - out of the more than 22 people who have stayed here, only two wouldn't be welcome again - the rest have been brilliant.

I stopped two years back after seeing a bike broken down on the side of the road and found two 17 year-old Swedish guys whose chain had come off for the umpteenth time. Went home, got my husband and the bike trailer, picked them up, sourced a new chain (it was Easter Sunday too!), gave them a bed for the night and fed them. I hope that if we are ever in strife in some foreign country that someone will stop and help us - and I bet they will.

Just farewelled Nick (UK biker) who stayed here last night, and hope to see more riders in the future.

a biker was just pulled over for speeding in front of me, so i did a wheelie past the cop while doing the fingers, obviously the cop took offence so he chased me, then obviously i lost him by way of excessive speeding.

the end result. That biker didnt get a ticket!

all in days work
