Not for a biker but by a biker !

Following a car with boat on a trailer last month, noticed it was weaving a bit so dropped back until safe to pass. I then saw one of the tyres was almost flat. Passed the guy and then thought - His tyre's gonna blow and end up hitting someone or something.

Pullled over at the side of the road in the next village and waved him down. He pulled over and looked as scared as hell - thought I was a copper going to do him !!! LoL

Got him top follow me 2 miles down the road to my house, pump out, tyre pressure corrected and on his way. He was a lucky man cos the tyre was hot and doubt he would have made it the 50 miles to the launch. What a nice warm fealing it gave me.

I was pretty much the last one to leave a circuit after a track day only to find a rather dejected looking chap sat by the gate next to a completely trashed R6. Turns out he was a squaddie who had come down for the day, fallen off, and didn't have any means of recovering himself. We chucked one of our bikes off the trailer, loaded his up and made the 100 mile odd detour to drop him and his bike back at his barracks. He was a bit upset about his bike, but far more concerned that he had hurt his wrist and if anybody found out about it he might not be allowed to fly off to some warzone with his unit the following week! Just hope he came out of it all OK.

My dad and i keep our ramp in the van all the time. We rescued 2 bikes this summer that were stranded in the middle of a local bypass and took them home.

Confession time.
Comming home from the vets at 5 am. There was a chap in the hedge with a scooter.
He was with two cars and looked ok.
Asked if they needed a phone call or a hand.
They said they had rung.
So left them to it.
Yep made me feel bad.

Now I'm being generous here and hoping the owners were with these bikes and when you said "home" you meant their address not yours....
