Moral Dilemma

[Badcat]

i always stop - sometimes can't help and that's cool. sometimes i've been able to go get help, wait by a bike or use my cellphone (not EVERYONE has one)
the few times i've been stranded, bikers have always stopped and we've sorted it. Keep stopping, it reminds us all why we ride IMHO

Or do I keep going so that I dont give bikers a bad rep when everyone thinks that my lanesplitting has been the cause of an accident?

Who cares what they think. Intelligent people will twig that you've stopped to assist, who cares if a few dumb-arses think differently.

Remember, the answer to the question "What will others think?" is they are usually thinking "what will others think?" - they're most likely too self-absorbed to care that you stopped to help out unless they are helpful sorts themselves who'll go "I was going to stop and help, but I see someone else already has..."

Good on ya for stopping.

I don't get why you care so much what the cagers would think?
But anyways... OF COURSE you did the right thing even if yr assistance wasn't required...
