Today I found two lads sitting in a gateway

Looking at the ones scooter

So I pulled in and offered assistance

Problem on it was the front mud guard had snapped and was stuck on the wheel

As I was only five minutes from home I popped back andpicked up my small socket set qand went back and took the mudguard off so he could carry on his journey

I also guided a lorry through a bridge as it was a bit close

So who have you helped?

I saw two blokes today attempting to rob some poor sods scooter. I was going to intervene until I saw that they had broke the front mudguard, which had got stuck on the wheel. So seeing as they obviously weren't going anywhere with it, I didn't bother.

I showed a chap on a Bandit 600 how to filter. He was so impressed that he belted it past me when we'd cleared the traffic, just so I could show him again.

A woman with a CBF500 chased me into Halfords Mile End yesterday as I went to get some oil, because I "looked like someone who knew about bikes" - I had my flip-up on with boom mic from comms and looked like an instructor.

Her battery seemed to be almost dead so I helped her bump start on the parking lot.

Not really biking deed as i was in my car at the time. (Sunday, driving home from work, about 8PM) Was stuck in a 10+ car queue on a busy NSL road behind an old woman who broke down in a little k12 micra. Of the 10+ cars there i was about 4th back, there was a constant stream of oncoming traffic so nobody could pass, only 3 of us decided to get out and push her car onto the grass verge/pavement and see if she was ok (she ran out of petrol and was waiting for a recovery truck). So yeah myself and a couple of blokes from the transit van behind me pushed her out of the road.

I cant understand why nobody offers to help people anymore when they are stuck there anyway. It was a lovely night too, not as if it was pissing down or anything.

Rode to a customer's house very quickly on last delivery (about 11pm) yesterday only to find out I hadn't given her enough time to go to the cashpoint to get money. No problem she'll ride her GSXR750 up to the cashpoint quickly and come back. Turns out it had a flat battery, so instead of her walking for 10 minutes and me waiting around like a mong outside we went two up on the pizza scooter. Crisis averted. Gave me her number too so maybe go on a ride when her GSXR's battery is sorted. She was quite hot too Mr. Green

I deliver great customer satisfaction in the form of bikeryness. Not sure how legal it is to carry a pillion on company insurance or wether it's against company policy to get a customer's number though but the boss never has to know.

Not really bike but a woman had broke down in her clio not far from my house. Damn she was very tasty, in her office get up, thin waist and great behind, tight skirt and the rest. It's probably why there were three men looking under her bonnet Laughing

Was she naked when she answered the door saying she couldn't afford to pay Eh?

Did you then say ''well your gonna need to go and get dressed and get yourself down the cash point''?

Had she ordered "extra sausage"?

Ladybiker at next pay-at-the-pump today kindly told me that it wasn't taking her card either so I might as well stop sliding it in and out and poking away.

She wasn't fit and I didn't get her number. True story.

He just wasn't having it though and I left him to carry on pushing the bike to gawd knows where. very strange Confused


He had maybe stolen the bike or thought that you were going to steal his bike. Do you look like your avatar? Was this London? Smile

Today I stayed off the bike again, which may well have saved some innocent Welsh hedges from destruction Smile

Tell us what bike it was so that we can solidify our stereotypes. Drooling

I did once stop my bike and assist a single mum in a car full of screaming kids, out of petrol, I rode to a petrol station and bought a can and the petrol and helped her on the way.

About a week later she dropped the money round in an envelope with an extra tenner, which was a lot back in those days.

an I've bump started a few bikes for people in my time too

Nah, haven't helped anyone recently. Been too busy trying to lose weight by pushing my bike everywhere. It's loads better than the gym.
