Paid it forward.

About 3 years ago I broke down on my way home from work. Lucky for me a fellow biker stopped and gave me a lift to a petrol station and THEN went home and got his jerry can and delivered me back to my bike. Well, I was on my way home this evening and was coming off the M3 when I see a stranded bike and rider stopped at exactly the place I had run out of fuel. I stopped and asked him what the trouble was; "Run out of fuel mate" was the response. So I got him to hop on the back of my bike and took him back to my place where I had a gerry can with a couple of litres of fuel in it. So I took him back to his dry bike, filled it up and off he went (I thought there was much less fuel in the can when I last looked). Funnily enough the bike was also a Hornet and we knew each other from the Hornets nest. I've been waiting to pay it forward since the kind biker helped me out. Made me feel pretty good about life and biking in general.

Pay it forward folks.

Important questions though.....

a: Did you get your knee down with him on the back?

b: Did you change you mind about your new bike? :P

Seriously though, good on you! I haven't managed to stop to help someone yet, not that I'd be much use, but I'd like to think I would

No, I hate taking pillions, it was wet and my tyres feel like jelly babies in the wet. He must have thought I ride liek an old woman.

All I can say Dan is "three bl**dy years ".

been working to this philosophy for longer than I can remember, it's my normal payment for motorbike stuff, as in" Just make sure you do the same for someone else".

but never the less, it's all good Karma mate

Cheers Mark.

I've semi paid forward, I "towed " Robchester and his bike for a way until finding my arm wasn't strong enough to do uphill.

Then lost my pillion virginity with Rob on the back whilst we went to a petrol station.

Still not real paying forward, but I'm sure there's more to come.

None taken!

Check this moive out it explains this thread very well...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0223897/

I have helped people before and people have helped me, part of the reason I do the job I do now is becasue I know I can make difference. It won't change the world over night however 35 years is long time to make difference so I will carry doing what I do.
