I was out near Peterborough and this guy on one of those 2 wheeled japanese things ran out of fuel, so I gave him a lift to a petrol station.
After trying and failing to flag down 3 police cars he was surprised to see a Ducati stop and offer help.
Wilf will remember me calling him asking how to get his crock of sh.t to work, because I know nothing.
I do agree the attitude of what goes around comes around.

I once stopped for a spotty yoof with a puncture on his little 125. I was over in Farnham so I said I'll give him a lift back home (Haslemere) if he wanted. As he climbed on the back of the GPz900R I asked whether he was cool on the back - he nodded.
When I got him into Haslemere he struggled to get off the back as his legs were shaking so much - he didn't seem to know where he was either. Still Farnham to Haslemere along the A287 in about 10 mins was pretty going - I thought he'd want to get back home quickly. I always wanted to apologise to him for that - I probably put him off bikes forever ! Sorry whoever you were.......

I must say the experience did leave me feeling very good and reminded me of one of the many reasons I enjoy being a "biker".

Its nice to feel part of a "community" and I always stop to offer assistence to bikes parked up at the side of the road regardless of if I am on two or four wheels. Often they are just having a fag or taking a phone call but you never know and it takes no time to stop and ask.

Hope this good weather keeps up for the rest of the summer!
