Absolutely agree. I've been in Kyrgyzstan for a year now and have already helped several bikers make repairs, get bikes, lodging, etc. Love doing it, especially as you meet an extremely diverse group of people coming through.
As far as the idea, I was thinking it would be a per trip kind of thing. Let's say that you're coming to ride Kyrgyzstan for a month, it would cover you for the entire time you're here...obviously it couldn't include all the repairs...we don't have any official or really quality repair places here...everything is makeshift, but we could provide the connections to help to get you back on the road. My thinking is that there are some people out there who think, "I'd like to ride there, but what do I do if I'm in trouble?" Maybe this could answer it. In the end it would be a cheap way for bikers to help bikers.
