So I binned my bike yesterday, low speed but still banged it up pretty well and left it unrideable.. It was on a fairly heavily travelled road, petrol and oil pretty much everywhere. 4 police cars slowed, took a look and drove on, 1 park ranger, same story. But worse.. 20+ motorcycles (a majority Harleys) rode past gawking at me, not a single one stopped to see if things were ok, WTF? Not a single hey dude you ok.. not effing one. I mean I always make a habit if I can if I see a bike on the side of the road, Ive even stopped when I came across a patched HA guy, it WHAT YOU DO when you ride, maybe I was raised differently, Motorcycling is not a cute weekend thing for me, its my life. Unbeleivable. Crazy
i would off stopped for you, then probaly pinch your wallet while you lay on the ground
Wow!
That seems strange.
Sorry to hear MM. Which bike was it?
Yeah, maybe next time put a pic of your plight up on Facebook and Twitter ... that might break through to the current 'it's all about me generation' but then again maybe not. I recall some stories in recent times about the turds that stop to take pics of someone in trouble and get in the way of those there to help. Grubs. I would have stopped. I owe a couple of people who stopped to help me one. Karma is important. For what it's worth, when I had issues on the side of the road in Qld last September, I had an elderly couple stop to ask if all was ok, and a Truckie gave me a helping hand when needed. There are still plenty of good ones out there!
