Glad you found help

A complete stranger, she stopped and found out I was out of gas, then went into town and got some for me. She wouldn't accept any money from me either. She said she was a biker too.

Remember to pass it forward the next time you see someone in distress.

Great story.

Help when you can, never know when you might need to make a withdrawal from your KARMA acct.

I always stop if I see a biker on the side of the road, it's a case of us (bikers) and them (drivers)! My first 'bike' was a Honda Graduate, a step through twist and go machine. Was my sisters first, then mine, and it never had a service but kept on going just with petrol. My headlight blew and a real biker stopped and tried to help. Never forgot that, and never will.

Thanks Chewy. Sadly, today that's not the case. Countless bikes rode right on past, a few of them Golwing groups, without so much as a wave.

The lady who finally stopped, was a petite little thing. She was in her cage, but she was telling me about getting her early '80s Yamaha Special together.

Maybe the biker mentality has shifted, now anybody can go to the dealer and get a turn key, twist and go bike. Most of them know absolutely zero about the bike other than the color.

Us wrench heads are a dying breed.

I think a lot of people think everyone has a cell phone and can call for help if they need it. No so much back in the day. Also most people, even goldwing clubs, don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to helping stranded bikes on the side of the road.......and don't want to get involved. With roadside assistance insurance policies, cell phones, etc. They convince themselves that they don't need to be bothered stopping.
