Good deed.

Done my good deed for the day.

Went out for a quick ride this afternoon, on returning home I saw a bloke in bike gear, carrying a helmet etc, walking along the roadside. I was going to fast to stop by his side, so I took the next turning and did a quick U turn.

Turns out he rides a 600 hornet, but had snapped the chain. So me being oh-so-nice and generous gave him a lift to the train station, only a mile or so down the road.

I do admit when he hopped on the back, I almost dropped the bike, was somewhat heavier than my 5ft girlfriend!

That's it. Made me feel good about myself anyway.

If only the bikers who went past me when mine dropped a valve were so friendly. Sad

Took me 2 hours to walk home.

I do that all the time ,

but probably less recently as I;ve seen fewer broken down bikes at the side of the road.

Ooooh a good deed thread huh? Ok, my turn!

I was driving down the main road of this area and I passed an old woman who had about 6 or 7 shopping bags, they were all full. She was leaning over, panting. I pulled over and asked if she was OK.

She said she was fine but she bought a bit too much shopping to carry. So I left my bike parked on the side of the road and carried her shopping home for her (It was only a few minutes walk).

She was very grateful Smile

It put me in a good mood for a day or so anyway :p

i once saw a young boy (prob just turned 16 yrs old) and his scooter on the side of the a217, (i was 19 yrs old at the time 21 now thoe) he was looking very worried and up-set. so i pull over asked if he was ok, told me his scooter cut out and would start and he couldnt get home. after asking the usual question (fuel in the tank etc) i then gave the scoot a quick looked over, spotted the problem instantly (airbox hose came off the carbs mouth) thats causing it to not start, as was running very very lean. put the hose back on used my jubliee clip from my own bike to secure it and bingo scoot starts, the kids face lit up like a christmas tree, he was very happy and thankfull.

not my first good deed i must say. im a very helpfull person and hate to see people suffering as i wouldnt like it to happen to me!

I remember one good deed, I think it was kinda spring this year.....

Was my day off work, so I'd gone in to Inverness. There's this busy road that goes round to some of the big housing areas then onto the city centre. Riding along then see infront of me a trailer lying in the middle of the road at a funny angle, on my side, then a couple of metres past a bike and a confused looking biker. Thinking WTF

I pull in, flip up my helmet and go "you 'right there mate?". And he goes "well I was just riding along when I came accross this trailer in the road.....looked at the reg and it's me mates!"
So I helped him pull it off the road onto the verge, then left him to call his mate.

The funny thing was all the cars were just driving round it, no-one bothering to stop Confused

BTW I'm always on the look out for bikes/scooters in need of help, always carry tools when I'm riding and my transit always has the bike ramp in the back Wink
