Biker Camaradarie is a term we hear all the time. Bikers supporting bikers, helping them out. We look after our own. Today I was party to this special experience in a weird and wacky way
Stopped in at Caltex - Fanshaw St to fuel up on our way to Mission Bay. I wander in to pay for the gas. There was another biker at the pumps alongside that I had already nodded at (as you do) standing at the counter to pay for his gas. Out of the corner of my eye I can see there is a problem. Prentending there is nothing going on I simply go to pay for my purchases. Then I hear a voice asking "excuse me, can I borrow your hand?"
Never been asked that before to be fair. This guy could not reach around ( sorry) to the back pocket of his pants (where his wallet was) while wearing his root (Rain Suit for the uninitiated). He wanted me to help him extract it. Of course I can do that. So, I extracted his wallet for him.
Not everyday you get to grope a complete strangers bum at a petrol station afterall
The looks on the cashiers faces, and the poorly disguised laughter was a sight to behold.
I did talk to him at Mission Bay. Nice to meet you!
Nice buns too btw
So helping other bikers, what can you share?
