If he was nice enough to do all that, he might be nice enough to drop your bag off, he sounds like a great bloke.

Good luck with the bike!

To be honest, id stop for any biker i think i can help. Youd be surprised even if its just lending them your phone, or even giving them a lift.

Ive never had a bad experience with another biker!

nice story, glad u got your bag back too

i had similar happen when my broke down shortly after i bought it a long way from home. I broke down outside the house of a guy who had a motorbike trailer ! He took all the way home (a few hours) for a modest fee.

Had a nice chat on the way, his sons have bikes and he had bikes when younger.

I rode past a biker once in whales, I think he just came from a track day and either crashed or got pissed off and threw his bike onto the grass ( it was laying down ) he was ok, or at least up on his feat. I didn't even think of stopping and one it finally came in my head that he might need help I turned round and rode to the place, The bike was already on the back of a break down lorrie so I let it at that.

Im always hearing about bikers helping each other out, How many times that happen when theres a car broken down???

Yeah, When my throttle cable snapped.

Someone stopped to help. Thing is a lot of people have been bikers and virtualy everyone over the age of 58 have been bikers.

The reason being, bikes were soo much cheaper than cars back then.
