My good deed for today

My bike had a service today at Thunderroad in Bridgend. As I was heading home seen an old guy in full bike gear and his bike parked up down the road. Stopped, asked him if he was ok he said no bike is bollocked (battery dead).

Took him back to his bike and phoned the AA. I had to hide my bike before the AA came. The AA got the bike started, I had to jump in the AA van and we headed off to JTS bikes (2 miles away) following the old guy. He was supposed to be part exchanging this bike hehe. AA guy pissed off but I had to get back to my bike. A kind fellow looking at the bikes in JTS gave me a lift back.

This old guy had a Sachs 125, never seen one before. Anyway, the moral of the story get breakdown cover. Very Happy

He had to hide his bike because I'm guessing he told the AA man he was pillion on the 125.

Some breakdown policies, such as mine, cover you if you are a passenger in/on any vehicle.

Good for you OP. I wish there were more like you. Not so long ago, just about any biker would stop if he saw another in trouble. Sadly, that's not the case anymore. I ran out of fuel on my Guzzi a couple of years ago and, while pushing it the 3 or 4 miles up the A14 to the nearest garage, about 20 bikes must have passed me without stopping. I suspect this would especialy be the case if the broken down bike was, say a CB125, and the bike passing was a gleaming new GSXR with some posing twat with colour co-ordinated leathers on.

I always Offer to help bikers.

Apart from once when I was in Brighton and just done fishing.

My cousin was a driver and we were putting our rods away and I saw a guy push his bike. I asked if he was OK and he said yeah, just no petrol.

So I instinctively left him, but all the way back to London I was thinking damn I feel bad.

Since that day, I will always stop for a biker. I recall 3 or 4 mile push of my tiny RS125 in bike gear and a helmet. Sad

It's good to help each other, and as long as we do it, then it will help keep that tradition of bilers helping bikers.

Once upon a time, if you found out someone else was a biker, it would be pretty cool, but these days, anyone seems to pass! Sad

Not sure if this is true, but if you leave your helmet next to a wheel, is that a 'I am broken down' signal?

I thought I had heard of it, so I take it no one actually does it then? Sad

It would be cool if CBT's taught it.

It's worth doing just incase somebody does know about it. But regardless of wether or not they have their helmet next to their wheel or not I still tend to stop anyway.

Good idea about teaching it on the CBT though. Thumbs Up

After breaking down with the nc30 I will stop for any other biker I see just to see if I can help, was only a mile or two of a walk but on a hot day in bike gear and a lid was bloody tiring.

And agree on the bikers not stopping for you any more, about 3 or so went past on that walk with the bike and carried on going, then some old man pulled over to see if he could help in any way, thanked him but said it wasn't too far.

I've stopped to help bikers and have been helped myself. On a ride through Brecon I decided to stop - near Pen-y-fan - for a coffee and a quick fag. As I tried starting the bike it became quickly apparent that the reg/rec decided to committ suicide. A kind chap on a bike (can't think what it was now) stayed with me until somebody came along with jump leads to get the poxy thing going again. The AA are the most useless bunch of twats and couldn't find my location even after offering the lattitude and longitude co-ordinates. Anyway I'll stop procrastinating now...
