last summer i was out on a job measuring a footway to be resurfaced....got off bike, bumped it up kerb, pushed it 10m in front of me and measured that section and repeated for 300m ( bit of a "middle of nowhere" and didn't want to leave it alone ) Must have got someone pulling over every 30M down the road after about 6 people stopped i bungied my lid to the seat and taped "I'm working but thanks anyways" scribbled on some paper in permanent marker.....still got another 2 pull in to ask before i'd finished . I love how friendly SOME people are up here... and not 1 bike went past

Needless to say i stop for everyone i can safely, like it's been said....Mobiles are a life saver sometimes.

How cool is that.

Thats really cool.

I'll always stop if I can and its safe to. It always seems to be my brother that I stop for though

He :

1. Ran out of fuel on two seperate occasions
2. Had a broken throttle cable and I helped him push his bike to his work place

I've stopped and helped push another biker down the road to bump start his bike and I stopped once when I was out with Liz to see if the group of riders fumbling with their map in the middle of nowhere needed help. ( they didnt )

Always try and stop to see if they are ok.

The last guy I stopped for had just had an off and smashed his phone so needed to use mine. The car driver involved hadnt bothered to wait or help.

actually, when my exhaust collapsed ages ago, I had one person stop in her car (she must have thought I had crashed cos I was sitting on the kerb, and she screeched to a halt to help)

I counted at least 7 bikes going past (it was a sunny day), not one stopped, they all looked and ignored

Hi,
I stop when I can. If I'm in the outside land of a motorway or A road and don't see them till I'm level due to traffic then I'd rather pass them by and not become a statistic myself, but if I can stop and help I do..

Have to confess to being a bit of a snob and rarely stop for scooters

Shouldn't see to many of them when you in the outside lane

Bearing in mind the average waistline of some Harley riders...

... He could probably have done with the exercise!

Never stopped. Never had anyone stop for me, otehr than when i highsided infront of another rider. Wouldnt expect anyone to. Thats why i have AA.

yes but its always nice to see if you can be of help
