have you been a Good Samaritan for a biker - Page 3 - SV650.org

I always keep a small socket set, roll of spanners, and plug kit on the bike, as well as a small roll of duct tape, GT85/WD40, and a spare pair of gloves etc.
They usually get used by someone else at the side of the road, or on a rideout....Good to have though.

If i see someone by the side of the road, i'll always stop and help. Rude not to, might be me one day!

Well, you learn something new everyday and I can honestly say that I did not expect to learn that on here! I must tell the wife...

Hmmm...never heard that about hankerchiefs.
Never look at those quite the same again.

Although there is a black street gang here called 'the bloods' that wear red ones to identify members.
I wonder if they have a problem being misidentified as gays? LOL

I've given first aid to a biker in Manchester who had been taken out at a crossroads after a car jumped a red light. The bike shop on the corner took his bike away and said they would store it safely for him as chances were if left on the side of the road it wouldn't be there by morning.

I've also waited with an SV rider knocked off in central London until the ambulance arrived. He wasn't badly hurt, and I took photos for his insurance claim. I was on my way to a black tie awards nearby so we must have looked a right pair, him in scuffed up textiles and me all dolled up in a slinky evening gown and high heels.
