Yes. Experience tells me that when your cold and wet on a bike your concentration goes out of the window. He could have at least put several pairs of socks on. Laughing

Common sense tells you to keep warm and dry. It's self preservation.

But you're right, maybe he has no choice. But until I hear his side of the story I can't sympathise with him.

(No gloves or socks is puzzling though). Confused

It was in traffic, I ended up behind him and we were moving about 5 inches every 10 minutes so it wasn't really pulling over Thinking

And don't you have to have a ped to be a ped boi? I'm not down with this intercycle lingo Thinking


Once you have pushed a ped home..you is ped boi init.

I heard that his phone call nuisance techniques are so deadly he's having to seek legal advice - apparently ringing you could contravene several international weapons treaties.

I certainly wouldn't of helped him. I'd be riding past the traffic.

I've just got to the pineapple chunks in a tub of Tesco mixed fruit. I just thought I would liven this thread up.

It's the done thing for a proper bikers to pull over and help fellow two wheeled travellers who have broken down or had a spill. Not sure I'd go about giving away my kit to people, though Laughing

Of course, most of the plastic reptile brigade are, with a handful of exceptions, never going to give a toss about anyone but themselves and will zap past people struggling after a breakdown.

I carry quite a large amount of tools in my top box. Owning plenty of old relics and not being one to call the RAC, it's a good idea to have some basic stuff on board. I will always stop if I see someone who has obviously broken down.

Good one back in the summer. Coming back from Hastings, saw some young guy standing looking bewildered with an elderly Yam RS125 in the layby at Brookland. Turns out he'd put a new chain on the bike himself and put the split link clip back to front...and the thing had come off and dropped the chain in the middle of the road. He was 20 miles from home, mobile had a flat battery, no breakdown cover. I couldn't give him a lift because I have a top box on the pillion seat. But I always carry a spare split link and the RS has the same pitch chain as the RXS, a 428. His face was a picture as I produced a link from the box Laughing Thankfully he'd invested in a set of allens for engine, otherwise getting the screws of the flywheel/chain cover undone might have posed a bit of a problem (I draw the line at carrying a club hammer and impact driver). Ten minutes later and he was away. He looked like someone who had lost a fiver and found a grand LOL

It's nice to help people. I've had some good folks stop for me too in the past. Once got a puncture miles from home and had a Harley rider stop and give me a lift to the village where he lived, where he asked around until someone found a suitable tube in their garage. He refused all offers of money for petrol and such. Not all Harley riders are tits Razz

'Tacky' Bottoms, Trainers, and no gloves.....
Two things spring to my mind whenever I see this sort of thing.
Is the vehicle stolen?
Is the rider F*ckin' retarded?

Good on you for being a Samaritan.
Would I have stopped?
I'm normally going much too fast to stop by the time my initial thoughts have been pondered.

You're lucky he was so cold and wet he forgot to pull out his gun and say 'no gloves, but I'll have that fucking bike AND your wallet'.
