Have read all these posts with interest. Reminds me of a guy I rode with in NZ years ago. Bob McKenzie who drove a truck for a local firewood company and not endowed with the readies so to speak. Rode a old 750 Kwacka that he knew every nut and bolt on. Turned out for runs came rain hail or shine and would always stop to help a biker broken down even in the rain. Would pass on his knowledge to new members of our club and would ride tail end Charlie all day if asked without complaint. Bob is in his mid eighties now and no longer rides due to medical issues but in my eyes that is a biker my friends!
