UMN 45 : Thanks

Thanks for pulling up and giving me a hand yesterday .. much appreciated.

You could have just spent the time you took to memorise the number plate
to say thanks in person.

Nah, fuel hose came off (some dolt forget to re-recheck it after taking
the tank off) and I got *almost* to the white servo at Tele point (Port,
Wauchope, Tele Pt, Port like we rode a while back) when it just died on
me as the hose had come off. Still not sure I'm game to travel that road
in the other direction yet.

My non-Asian fingers are not long / nimble enough to reach under and
reattach it with the tank in the way... and I'd left the shifter in the
garage.

By the time I had someone stop and help who also had a spanner handy
(coincidentally the first person who stopped was the first bike to go
past..) I'd gotten to the Blackman's point turnoff and to be quite
honest, my legs and arms were pretty damned sore Even though it's a
light bike it still weighs 3x what I do .. All's well that ends well.

 

You're a very cynical man, Nev.

 

Nah mate, he's not cynical, he's a fuckwit!


GB, HTH, HAND.

 

Not cynical just curious at what motivates someone to post a 'thank you'
in a usenet group which has a readership of about 0.001% of the riding
population, when the target was presumably right there 100% in earshot
giving him a hand.

I did.

 

Yeebers didn't say whether or not he had thanked the person in person, so
you're jumping to a bit of a conclusion there, Nev, by assuming that he
didn't. I'll jump to a conclusion of my own and suggest that he probably DID
say thank you in person - most well-mannered people would. I think the
public acknowledgement is a nice touch - and this is as good a forum as any
for that.

betty

 

Thankyou Betty. It's also an indirect implication that if you see *them*
stuck, you should help, as you know they'd do the same for you.

 

Geez Betty way to ruin a thread with commonsense!

 

oops, sorreeeee!

 

I know you did. It was me. I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread
around my bike rego. Thanks.

I was wondering why you're (collectively) speculating wildly rather than
reading my answers but then I remembered it's aus.moto ..

 

Ah yeah, good one Pete.

 

Oh, _finally_ someone gave Yeebers the public acknowledgement he was
seeking! Thank you, Betty.

Do you think any of us post seeking anything else Nev?

 

I must remember to never have a problem halfway up your driveway then
Johnno!
