you no im new to this site and to riding i guess only 50yrs plus, im kinda old school and pretty much set in my ways,course im older then dirt, but i cant help but wonder if the new ways are as good as the old.

my point , i was out riding in sunny fl the other night in the pouring down rain and just happen to run acroos another rider and his wife parked undr an overpass, i stopped to see if they were ok and just as i thought they were broke down. they had been sitting there for about 4 hours and although several bikes had pass them byno one bothered to stop. i broke out my tools and had them going in a few minutesand when the guy offered to pay me i simply stated a hand shake would do just fine. they were amazed.

im my day and that was quite awhile ago that kind of thing would not have happenedyou just never left a biker sitting beside the road broke down you at least stopped and offered help wheather you could or not you stopped and tried.

have we all become so rapped up in being in a hurry that we pass each other buy, what does it really cost to help a fellow biker in trouble guess i just dont understand that type of mentality.

the next time you pass someone buy just take a second to think it could be you sitting there in the middle of no where and believe me when your down and by your self it gets a little lonely and waiting for a cop to come by is like waiting for the hereafter there wothless. after all if we dont help each other just who the hell will. use to bikers had a certain comadery they helped each other and they didnt have to ask, where has that gone have we become so afraid that we cant at least try to help and possibly make a new friend in the process, folks finding a new friend contrary to popular belief is a good thing you just cant have to many.

now im not trying to piss anyone off , o hell no i am trying to piss some one off cause im pissed, and if your one of the so called bikers that has passed some one in need buy, get pissed im talking to you. you think your 20.000 dolor bike that you have rode at leat 20.000 miles makes you a biker , news flash , you suck,there are peole out there besides you.

enough said i think my pont has been made .---ride safe and enjoy the ride.--jim.
