Nice things from orgers

[davepreston]

Someone done you a favor, givin you good advice or just a crackin deal on a bit for you bike. Name and shame, sorry thank them here so everyone knows who to annoy, sorry again ask thoughs burning questions. :-D

[yorkie_chris]

Lots of excellent advice, help with parts, laughs and pi$$taking gratefully recieved from too many people to mention. Cheers all.

[xXBADGERXx]

Flymo for flogging me a spot on GSXR1000 shock for £50 , transformed that bike for me . Baph for dragging me along to the Brewery Tap for my first ever Border Patrol meet , may have been first of the year as well . Luckypants for doing the NW3.5 and 4 rideouts . Lone Wolf for "Ba Dum Tish" :D , it made me chuckle so hard . And all the other reprobates on here that make it such a fun place to be .

[Lozzo]

Natcar for selling me his K5S nice and cheap.

[Jayneflakes]

Lots of excellent advice, help with parts, laughs and pi$$taking gratefully recieved from too many people to mention. Cheers all.

I have to agree, also thanks to all the girls who have contacted me with kind words, warm hearts and fast wit.

You know who you are, every word was appreciated and every kindness welcomed. Shucks... I love you lot. :cheers:

[Richie]

Northwind for gutting and old engine for my new Gearbox... Cheers Pal.

[Lozzo]

I have to agree, also thanks to all the girls who have contacted me with kind words, warm hearts and fast wit.

You know who you are, every word was appreciated and every kindness welcomed. Shucks... I love you lot. :cheers:

They're just after tips and advice for those occasional trips to the dark side that all girls have from time to time.

[chakraist]

Hmm... in no particular order:

Blue, top bloke in person and sold me my first bike and always there to give me advice no matter how banal my questions are.

Stewie for giving me a restrictor kit for the above bike at no cost, still owe him a pint!

AndyB for selling me my second bike with front-end swap done which I have put about 10k on since April. If I could carry it on my back, I would, it's like a second home and set up perfectly for me (apart from squidgy shock).

SVRAsh for selling me an engine, spare fairings and a tank for when I was going to do my old bike up and sell it, also we've had numerous chats on everything ranging from washing machines to bikes to fishing.

YC for also answering my banal questions, would definitely consider riding up to Leeds for next service time as seems like such a decent bloke.

Also Northwind has answered some questions I've had in the past; Kent to Scotland is a long way but I'm hoping to do it for next year's Ecosse.

I've been here over a year now and occasionally come on and drunkenly ramble in the idle banter section, I love this place and it's the only forum for me.

[BanannaMan]

Lissa... found for me a place (here in the US...no less) that sold the correct fairing decal for my bike.
Thanks again!!! :thumbsup: I owe you one!

Lots of others... for the kind words after I got all busted up in a highside in July.

....and just about everyone else here for being so nice.


The .org is the best forum on the net! :cool:

[mister c]

Would like to say thanks to everyone that sent GWS while I was in Hospital after my crash.

[Warthog]

Flamin Squirrel, although he'd like you to beleive otherwise, is a lovely guy who helped me swap my front end when I had a crash years ago.

aadeyc53 has broken a whole curvey and helped out many forum members for very cheap prices and deserves a mention.

And of course my wife Philbut who has done most mechanical things on my bike with me.

Rictus - Mechanical tips and letting me have a rear light unit for my point cheap after mine started playing up shortly before an MOT.

Bear... for molesting me.

I'm going to thank Bear for not molesting me:cheers: but being a very nice bear by helping me put Im Indoors in the tent the right way round at AR08, if it wasn't for him my tent would have been broken.

Sid Squid - for endless technical advice, fixing of bits with welders and other tools I'm not allowed in the house and general advice on life

Jambo - for his look of astonishment when most work on my SV usually involves a hammer, a 2ft breaker bar and lots of swearing.

MT

[lily]

Pete & Lissa- for inviting me and drew on our first ever ride with somebody from the org (think that was one of the only times i was scared on the bike)

Luckypants- for the great NW ride outs i have been on

Widepants, Gary, & Gid- for just being you!

Miss's and Mrs's and Girls of the org- know who you are and always make my day so much better

Hovis- for being you, don't think i have got on with somebody so quickly as i have with you (thanks for keeping me entertained at work) :D

Drew- for getting me into this whole bike thing (my parents don't thank you for it) and being you :love:

and anybody i have missed sorry :kiss:

[northwind]

All the bosses- Kevin Jones RIP, before my time but I wish I'd met him... Admin John Tapley, Jonboy, and of course Fizzwheel, who is in this list twice because he's the MAN. Without these people there would be no .org, so worship them :mrgreen: There's too many other admins, mods and techies who deserve a mention.

Technical-wise- Sid Squid is the man... He can diagnose faults I can't find myself from the other end of the country :mrgreen: And Zadar basically made my bike possible. 21Quest, Rictus, SVRAsh, Mike numbers and... what was his name, PeteTong? All for help and inspiration to commit madness upon a perfectly good motorcycle. And Bartyboy and Big Al for all the help with paint. Lots of others here but those guys are the ones I owe a lot to.

And non-technical stuff- Pete and Lissa for putting us up on the way to the AR and for doing so much to get the Massacre going... Mr and Mrs Luckypants for offering the same on the way back, though we didn't have to take it up. Blue Flame for randomly inspiring me to ride to the far end of the country 3 times. And everyone who I've just met and said hello to, right up to everyone who I've met and become real friends with, this site is great. Naming no names here. Oh, and Blue Flame, Cronos, Kitkat, Dirty Baz and SVTonyB, all of whom have at one point or another picked my bike up for me :mrgreen:

The entire AR08 team- this one especially because it was such madness along the way but went off perfectly! Obviously special credit to Viper and Fizzwheel here, but there were loads of people involved.
The entire AR07 team
And the entire AR06 team.
You all know who you are. I've never known anything quite like the AR, it's such a brilliant event and it doesn't just happen, it's months of hard work for the guys involved.

[Tiger 55]

Jim @55 for fixing my Scottoiler when I'd just joined the Org and neither he nor anyone else knew me from Adam.

Northwind, YC, Spannerman, Sid Squid and anyone else who can be trusted to provide useful answers to stoopid technical questions. You've saved me so much money on mechanics bills I almost feel I should buy you a pint. Almost.

Dicky Ticker and his Essex Lounge bitches for making me feel welcome on their pilgrmages north and showing me new roads in my own backyard.

Everybody who has put their own time and effort into organising a rideout, social, tour or massacre that I've attended and who I probably forgot to thank at the time. (Hope you read this.)

[Drew Carey]

Here's my list:

1. Lily - you are my life. X
2. Hovis - For being Hovis!!!!!!
3. Girth - for making me laugh constantly (PS - Dont go to Aus, can't cope with the others on my own!!!!!!)
4. Widepants - The lanky barsteward is always grinning.
5. The Gid family - You are all lovely.....even though you ride a bandit!!!!
6. Pete & Lissa - For our first rideout and bringing "that" can into our lives. Although lost, she shalt never be forgotten.
7. Luckypants - for organising the NW rideouts and the rafting, some of the best times of my life have been with you guys on these.
8. All the org members that have given me advice and assistance with my motorcycle.
9. Spannerman - For your wisdom and one funny day servicing bike.
10. A big thank you to those who run the site........including......
11. Fizzwheel.......for not only keeping us all mildly mannered but for also organising a brilliant AR. Cheers my Twin!!!!!!
12. YC, MissYC, Dizzy, Melody, Phil24-7, Mrs24-7, Quiff (Man you crack me up), DMC, Binky, DappaD (Only met recently, but a laugh), Mogs, Neio, Ed......and countless others (dont be offended if not down)........you have all been amazing and it is YOU that makes the org what it is.:grouphug:


It sounds like an Oscars acceptance speach.....think I may cry. lol. :D

[Alpinestarhero]

Sid Squid and Bear armed and ready to fix a possible puncture in my rear tyre at the ace cafe.

Unfortunatly, whilst I got away with it, Soulkiss didnt :( but you know, it was so nice to see everyone prepared to help out other people. It was the first time i'd met any orger's that day

Pete and Lissa for being so kind and apologetic for scaring me at AR08. They ride pretty fast, but they are very considerate

Dan aka wrc63 for telling loadsa people about my degree result on the first night of AR08. I thought that was pretty nice. I think he was too drunk to know what I got the degre for though :lol:

[Viney]

I got a mention *Warm and fuzzy feelings*

[Tara]

Steady on there T, U rated forum this tha knows! :p

[Stig]

In all honesty I could in the past 4 years have a list longer that I would want to write.

So I'll short cut it.

Rictus for rebuilding my SV in my absence.

Everyone else who donated parts in the cause.

The thing is, everyone on this site is willing to do what they can for another member. That is what makes this site unique to all the others out there. Fact.

[timwilky]

I think Quiff needs a mention here.

He makes us all look perfectly normal and sane.

[stevie]

My Jan (Briddo) stumped up the cash to help me get all my sv's , I can't thank her enough. But here on the org in public I say FANKOO, FANKOO, and FANKOO again.:smt008 :cheers:

[Quedos]

hmm

Blueflame - for telling me not to be so stupid all those years ago
kitkat - for being another female as nutty as me
Northy - for being himself and understanding

and IP for being him and letting me be me! LUL

the ecosse posse for being the most unruly lot despite me trying to tame them all (its great fun really)

as for the rest of the .org

:rave:

it wouldn't be the same without you

[Bear]

Rictus for coming all the way across town after his off on a scooter to show me how to straighten up my front end after my first .Org crash, realising it wasn't going to work and lending me the front end of the Fruit Salad machine.

Sid Squid for helping me get the forks straightened and knowing where to do it.

Rictus for showing me how to do my first service on a bike ever

Sid Squid for putting up with endless technical questions that generally start with "I was working on this bolt and it snapped..."

Sid Squid for then fixing my broken bikes

Raf for riding off to the front of the pack after my "Sarah's bum" crash and subsequently crashing, therefore robbing me of the yellow jersey before we'd even invented it...

Sid Squid for twice spending 12-14 hours removing the engine from my kwak only for something out of our control to go wrong and knacker it.

Rictus for lending me the CB750 until I get the kwak running again (and all those others who offered, teriyakimonkey, Jambo etc.)

Sid Squid for (hopefully) at some point in the near future doing (hopefully) less than 12-14 hours putting in the third and (hopefully) final engine into the kwak



(hopefully)

For Paws for 2 big reasons. She knows what I mean (and any who have met her or seen her across a room will also know...)

Treacle for putting up with the previous comment without stabbing me

You lot for somehow allowing me to molest all of you without the hint of a lawsuit or restraining order

The ladies of the org for filling my "spank bank"

The men of the org for emptying my "spank tank"

And most of all, me for being generally brilliant at everything.






I rock.

[Biker Biggles]

Blue SV for the epic thread teaching Nadine how to overhaul her electrics.
Timwilky for being the grumpiest git on the org,but who I know is actually a fine generous type who I still owe a beer to.
And any org pedant who wishes to explain the grammatical errors of the above sentence.

[jumjum_0214]

The .org is a proper biking community with lots of friendly faces and people who are always willing to help out!!! ;-)

The best forum full stop :-)

[Lou M]

I would like to thank 3 people:

Rictus, thanks for all your advice on the Triumph.

Kwakzzr for selling my friend the CG, thus getting her on the road.

And finally Jabba (who probably won't remember) but the summer of 2006, when I was being made redundant and in my final few depressing days at work, made me laugh so much that my collegues wondered what I was up! Jabba, top of the page!!!!!!!!!

Cheers all of you!

[SuzukiNess]

Seggons for helping with the Bullet Cam issues we were having :salut:

everybody on here that has made me laugh uncontrollably (with strange looks from across the office and when i explain they just dont get it :rolleyes: )

the NI guys who met up for the ride out... was great to meet them.

I do hope that we (gixxerman & I) will get to meet the rest of you guys at the AR09 ... because you all seem like a great bunch of guys!! (and gals :)
