Was cruising along one evening last week when suddenly the power went out on my bike, the engine stopped and all lights went off. Thankfully no one was behind me. I came to a stop on the side of the road and tried to restart the bike. Nothing. Totally dead. Note to self: Hazard warning lights are only useful if they have power…
Thankfully I was just a bit outside of town, so I decided to push the bike for a bit to find a better place to stop. 15 min later I stopped and decided to wait on the side of the road until some bikers pass or someone with a bike on their ute, people who might know a bit more about bikes. So I got off the bike and sure enough, not even 5 min later two people on a bike came along the road. I waved at them, but I must not have looked desperate enough. They just waved back and passed me.
20 min later and no other bikes, just a couple with a few dirt bikes on a ute and they didn’t see me. If I had had a car I would just have popped the hood, but what do you do with a bike that broke down? Is there some kind of universal distress signal for bikers?
At the end I pushed the bike to a friend who didn’t live too far, but it took a while. On another note, how to other gals handle bigger and heavier bikes than my little GN?
Sorry, if there have been similar posts already, but I couldn’t find anything.

Hehe, so I wasn't waving frantically enough. On the other hand, that might scare people from stopping nodrog
