Had been into Bath today to get some things, decided to take the bike as its the easiest for parking and getting around... Anyway on the way back i bumped into a mate on the London road in his car, were chatting away for 30 mins or so and as he drove away id realised that id done the schoolboy error of leaving the ignition/lights on.. So I tried bumping it - v twins not so easy to bump even in 6th. I decided to push it to Batheaston - theres a steep-assed road going down to The George pub on the river.. Anyway was pushing the bike up to the roundabout to the bypass and a scooter rider, on one of this big comfy scooter thingys pulled over and said that he only lived down the road and would come back with a jump kit..
Chuffing amazing !! Ten mins later and i was off again.. Saved a lot of time & hassle as my moby had died prior to pulling over in the first place..

So yeah, nice ending to what could have been a ball-ache :).

Thats brilliant news, definitely makes you see the good in people even if it was a scooter rider that I bet most of us don't nod at on our way past them on the road like we would other lunatics on 2 wheels :(

With you there , I only tend to stop if I'm with my other half too unless its another female at the side of the road (I'm nearly 6ft tall I should be ok ;D) but its sad to think we can't stop to help stranded bikers if we're alone just because we're girls :(

Nelly , RR regulars not a word about how most blokes wouldn't risk anything either :D ::)

i stopped to give "wolfie" a lift once, a bloke i didnt know at the side of the road, who had run out of fuel on his TL1000.....and he gave me free access backstage at the Bulldog bash as he was one of the DJ's.......

we gotta stick together......... :-)
