Plenty of bikes as the weather was fine ... After that had finnishe di had a chugg around East Kent ... Popped down into Dover and then Folkestone ... Done 99 miles all in all and hopefully made some kids happy with the eggs! On the way home i stopped coz there was a guy with an old BMW Which he was pushing (an R100 i think it was) He was flutered and out of breath but said he was almost home ... "s'ok mate i only live down the roasd there but thanks for stopping" were his words ... So anyway i road home with a good feeling ... well better than the biker who flew straight past anyway! Now im cooking summit to eat :o) Hope everyone else had a good day :o)

Get some funny looks sometimes but there ya go. What's happened to the "nod" and stop to help brigade? Too many people with heads stuck up orifices I think. Cheers PS, nice one Mart (For egg run and stoppin)

Then when i was just about to set off again after putting the petrol in an articulated lorry slowed and checked that i was ok!

sprag 750cc Boy Racer Joined: Saturday, March 24, 2007 Posts: 183 Location: leicester United Kingdom	I had a nice ride yesterday.... took a ride over to EYE near Peterborough from my home in Leicester, made a nice round trip of 100 miles. I'm running in my new toy, got almost 500 miles on it now so its nearly there. lots of bikes of all sorts out on the road and at EYE. Hi to the guy on the Yamaha MT01 is it? big V twin anyway..... who blasted past just past Peterborough and waved.... ......................................... I'll always slow down and give the thumbs up and down to see if the guy/girl needs help. most times I get the thumbs up and a wave and carry on my way but over the years I've had someone give me the 'HELP... I'm in trouble look' so I always stop. Couple times its been petrol so a lift to the nearest filling station and back has got em on their way. one time a lad just needed my mobile phone to get his dad out to help him and one time a lady with a very dead little Vespa scooter stood there looking lost and alone on a country road late one Friday night was very relieved to get a lift home [with her scooter in the back of my tranny van] it gives you a nice feeling afterwards when they say 'thanks mate' and it costs little or nothing to help another human being out [esp if its another biker.]
