    I usually stop for hitchhikers. Never had any problems, but one memorable trip was when I stopped for a guy up North. I didn't realise he had swastika tattoos on his forehead until he got into my car.

    Sweet and gentle bloke though. Might have been a simpleton.

    i always stop for anyone. even tho im probably not much use but i always have a cell phone on me

    last time i stopped was to help push start a bike last week. the guy on the bikes girlfriend didnt look like she had much more energy to push him

    scared the hell out of a african immigrant once when his car died. he was in the middle of the road on a bend and was looking pretty stessed. i think he thought i was going to smash him or something but was grateful when he realised i was going to help. sounded like he was there for while. everyone that passed him had to go around him - doesnt take that much to stop and give push

    there have been many times when i have been stranded and get fucked off with the popel driving past and staring. always grateful to those that stop

    Yep - I'll stop. Unless there's already a bunch of 'helpers' - or I'm late for something (but if it looks bad - I'd still stop).

    i have stopped everytime i could.... or given a signal but most times i get a thumbs up...a couple of time i saw them too late and was in the far lane....

    i had all the bikes from kb trackday check if i was ok on sh1 just out of taupo...and supriseingly 2 cars of complte randoms wondering if i was ok.

    people od still care

    best help ive ever had was on my way back form kaiaua...with no more gas money...ran outta gas between maraetai and whitford....
    went bugger...and started pushing about 200 metre of pushing later...(uphill).... a van pulls over...a nice fella hops out...whats wrong buddy.... ...outta gas i said....oh hang on...pops his boot...pulls out a ocntainer of gas......here ya go...gave me about 3 litres i said what do i owe ya for it...oh no worries bikers help bikers....turns out he rode a 636... amazing how bikers will always help eahc other gotta love it....

    i know how appreciative i was to be helped when i needed it thats why i always help other bikers if i can

    cars can get fucked....unless i know the person.
