    Sideswipe NZH

    At the weekend, Helen Medlyn was on a ride with a friend on his Harley motorbike when the switch to the reserve fuel tank failed and they were stranded in the middle of nowhere. After a short wait, a guy on a scooter putt-putted to a stop beside them and asked if they needed help. He was an Irish guy, named Paul, who offered to take one of them to a petrol station. "Because my friend is very tall and muscled, I thought it best that I go," writes Helen. "I was laughing at the sight we must have made ... me wearing my black leathers, clinging to Paul's pale blue anorak. Bless that man. He had to take me quite a distance before we found the nearest petrol station, then he waited while I got some fuel, and then rode me and a huge petrol canister back. Paul wouldn't accept anything for his random act of kindness, so we could only thank him verbally ... He was a star."

    Now we Have harley riders waving at Scooters and scooter riders stopping to help big tough bikers on Harleys....must be global attitude warming or something....

    Paul must be a good chap.....

    Must be said however that there is a greater chance of finding a Harley on the side of the road than finding a Harley rider that waves....

    Holy shit, a scooter rider and a Harley rider.

    Good to see though and I bet you they could get a couple of letters a week if every biker that was helped by another were to write in.
