    1000 years bad karma to the riders that didn't stop.

    How could you go about your day knowing you had left a rider stranded on the side of the road?

    A biker always stops. No ifs buts or ans. If you don't stop you're not a biker. Just a twat riding a motorcycle, two wheeled ricer. End of story.

    So true. Was on top of the Raglan divvy today on kanny's volty. Had the tool roll out to adjust the chain. (no big deal obviously), but four Charley Harrison riders coughed and farted their way past me, flat out doing 85kmh, making more noise than a Mk3 Zephyr with blown exhaust manifold. But not even a nod, or wave from their tasseled gloves.
    I'm picking they were late for their group masturbation session, or afraid the Volty would out accelerate them if they stuck around.
    I know that not all cruiser/Harley riders are like these "born again cocksuckers", but sheesh, if ya want to live the dream, get involved in the dream.

    If I saw another biker on the side of the road in trouble I would stop, because I would want people to stop for me. Wheres the kindness gone these days?

    Like I said, was a tail pilot driver that day, so literally couldn't stop until the two vehicles that I was shadowing had completed their work on the road reserve. I'd rather have 1000 years of bad karma instead of risking being liable for a huge accident, and having my quals revoked!

    Mmmmm sounds nice. Might have to check it out. Will check my gas before I head up there though

    I've got a spanky fuel gauge on my new bike but it didn't occur to me that that would mean I have no reserve. Good thing my mate at work with a CBR pointed that out

    The plan was to save him then save FB... but I was fast running out of time... So I called a friend of mine to go give her gas while I attended to the flat battery... fun times..!!!

    Did similar thing a few months back,cruising from work,bike starts losing power,coast to edge of road,gauge says red,flick to reserve no go,hmmm phone cavalry to bring petrol,then look down turn the lever to pri(prime),woohoo starts,bang onto reserve,tootle about 1&1/2 km to gas station.

    In meantime a couple of cruisers(bmw)ride past no nods,another rider on harley goes by,next a couple of bikes slow down wave them on with thumbs up,bike started ok.Good to see some will stop.

    Same thing happened weekend before on way to work,bike gauge into red,flick onto reserve,bit of splutter then dies after say 5 km,onto prime starts then onto reserve this time tap turned to full on no movement in tap,another 3 km to get gas,need to remember to fill up once in red,reserve runs shitty.

    I hate stopping to help bikers only to find out that their current dilemma is down to their own bloody stupidity.

    On the good ol vtz of doom, if you start to run out and don't switch over to reserve while its running the bitch strands you! Had that one before! A dude on a ZX12 stopped after 6 other bikers didn't. I always stop for our 2 wheeled bretheren whether in the car or mounted on my trusty steed.

    Wheres the love?
