    Would you?

    Would you stop to help a broken down bike in the middle of nowhere?

    Yup even though I wouldn't be any help. You have had issues?

    Of course I would stop & help anyone. Even tho I couldn't actually fix their problem, I'd at least be able to loan them my phone or give them a lift, or call emergency services if it were a crash. It's the old "Do unto others".
    Last winter I had an automatic trans car(hated the fricken thing) and the little lights in the doors didn't go off unless all the doors were shut properly. Well having little ones....doors inevitably were left slightly open causing flat battery. Well batteries can only last so long being drained then recharged and I'd often found myself stuck with a flat battery. The only people who ever stopped to give me a jump start were Maori people.....??? Since getting rid of the car I have stopped to help several people needing a jump-start, and they have all been MAORI! Weird how what goes around comes around.

    Arrow Yep.

    Have done plenty of times and I'd consider it irresponsible if I was not to.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    I would stop for all bikes and cars with hot girls
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I'd stop and offer help in return for sexual gratification.

    Not enough options.
    I'd stop for ANYBODY if they had crashed but when it comes to a sport bike rider I don't personaly know and has just broken down,then it's walkies time, I know where I stand with them, an what goes round comes round.

    I'd stop for anyone in trouble. Bike or car, doesn't matter, even if I can't help much. Have had people from all over stop for me, so I feel bad if I don't stop for someone. I'd like to think they'd do the same for me one day if I'm in need.

    I'll stop for bikes all the time, but only for cars if it's late at night or in the middle of nowhere or something.
