I do. I've watched people blissfully ignore plenty of cage drives in need.

It's just big city life mate not evidence of anything more. People will be either too shy to go help or assume he's got it under control.

Nothing to do with being it a bike. Only someone with a rather weird lens-view of the world would see otherwise.

Yep KB for sure,someone falls off his bike (not exactly a first is it) and the planet doesnt stop revolving to help

(not exactly a first) and suddenly the worlds full of cunts that hate grandmothers.

Sorry for your off (to the poster of the thread) and glad you came out ok.

Go back and read the post. Ixions statement was about an old white haired lady lying on the road having a heart attack. It didn't say anything about a 'cage driver'.

Unasked for even....
Mind you I myself stop ALWAYS to help bikes/cages in need....

I myself stopped for a chap pushing a RS125 on Saturday. But I know, unfortunately, that people willing to stop are few and far between.

Just makes you appreciate those that do all the more.

Karma?[/QUOTE]

Maybe Karma but I reckon it just helps. You feel better for offering. Like the scoot I pulled along side and pointed out indicator on for the last 2 k's. Same goes for waving a thanks to a driver who spotted you when you thought they could easily pull out into you. Can only make the world better 1 interaction at a time

I read it first the right time

Let me introduce you to hyperbole

Unfortunately us Aucklanders get pigeon-holed as arseholes, not true.

Actually most Aucklanders are good fuckers, well the ones Iv`e met, and would stop and help anyone. I have met some aresholes too.(FUCK them I say),lifes to short.

It`s the one rotten apple scenario.

What a shit of a place to live when cagers do as described. Like it wasn't rush hour. It was two in the afternoon!

About 2 months ago I was unfortunate enough to break down in the fast lane on the motorway, towing a trailer, at the beginning of rush hour. A bloke who was travelling literally right next to me, saw that I was in trouble, and immediately pulled over in front of me and got out to help. He towed me off to the side whilst the police (who turned up just a couple of minutes later) set up a rolling block.

It's not Aucklanders, it's humans. Some are good, some are bad. The faster pace of life in Auckland and the number of motorists on the road lead us toward anonymity and apathy.

Or maybe I'm just prettier than you, who knows?

Even the rear end of a donkey achieves that......

Did anyone stop to help me heave Zimmer up?

Nup!

It's an accident site.

If it isn't safe to move your bike, then leave it where it lays and let the cars blow their horns to their heart's content.

Unfortunately us Dorklanders get a bad rap from all the fuckwits that live in our city. When I had my accident a fortnight ago several cars all stopped for me to help move my bike, check I was ok, call the police etc.
Rude, selfish and uncaring people exist everywhere. Our population base just means that we're more likely to have a greater share of them, and if you're from outta-town you're more likely to notice them more than we do.
