Yesterday I did my good deed for the day. Felt good afterwards, also.

I was walking up to Scooterazzi to pick up the Guzzi from getting an oil change. I walked passed the motorcycle park and there was a young learner rider on a CBR250 trying to get it going. I stopped for a sec and watched him to see how he was going. After ascertaining he wasn't having any success I decided to help.
We tried full choke no throttle and then no choke full throttle figuring it may be flooded. A few goes and the battery starts to go flat. I told him not to bother anymore but I'll push start him. Asked him if he knew how: he didn't.
So, told him to put the CBR into second gear and then pushed him up Wakefield Street. He got the bike going and then gave me a wave.
I could see the smile on his face.
Job done :)

I can say from reasonably recent experience that when you're new, in trouble, and have no idea what you're doing, nothing means quite as much as somebody you've never even met stepping out of their way to give you a hand.

Bling given!

Nice one dude.

Being very new to the biker scene I am constantly being impressed by the good willing nature of a lot of bikers out there.

Couldn't imagine many (if any) cage goers that would be quite as willing to stop and lend a hand to their fellow Cagetonians.

Actually whwn I had my of in the ice a couple of months ago it was a couple of cagers who picked my bike up and parked it nicely on the side of the road for me. then made sure I was helped over to the footpath as well.

Maybe that's a southern thing though

My mate on an FXR150 was going to test ride a k6 GSXR600 - on his learners - so I let him have a putt on my Bandit, first. I had very good reasoning behind this.

He putted up the road, and as he went around the corner, he gunned the throttle in first and buttoned off before peak power. He came back shaking with a smile, but shaking.

'I see why you were getting seriously upset over me about to buy a thousand.'

Some kids. :oi-grr:

Yep, you certainly made someone's day better.

well done that man.We need all the good publicity we can get and especially amongst our own.
That rider will never forget what you did and one day may be in a position to help another.

Do a good deed => feel good.
Job done => reward received.

Some people wonder why they should do anything for other people because they get nothing out of it. I wonder what is wrong with them, it feels good to help others and when you are having problems it is really nice when someone is willing to help you out.

If more people were like nudemetalz then the world would be a more pleasant place! Good onyer mate!
