Who Might This Be???

Rhetorical question?
Yep, clue's in the flash title.
Unfortunately the Speedy's seen a similar fate I believe.
Sure he'll be along shortly.

 

A moment later...twas I

Yep, poor bloke skidded on the white paint. A year or so later not far up the road from there, and Audi cut accross me and financially wrote off my bike...it has been bought by a bloke in Aylesbury who is putting back on the road

I always help when I can, in my bag is a puncture repair kit and fuel transfer line, I noticed a guy yesterday on the other side of the motorway waiting next to his bike on his phone, so I turned round at the next junction and pulled up to see if I can help...he was only waiting for his mate to catch up but he was pleased I did stop to help...

 

I picked up a guy who was stood beside his broken down bike on the M6 2 weeks ago and ended up giving him a lift to Lancaster services as there was no coverage on his phone, Lashing down it was - Glad I was in the car at the time, was bringing the Trophy home at the time.

Always good to be able to help, you never know when it will be you that's stuck !

 

You're a hero, regular good Samaritan.
I've stopped to help a few times (and been the receiver of help once - well it was SWMBO's lic plate hanger that had fractured and ended up dangling around the back wheel - and no tools to hand).
But I've ridden on by many times too, assuming they're ok (usually on they're mobile).
I've often thought we should have some sort of coded hand signals to save each other faffing about when not needed or conversely when we could do with some help.
I usually give a thumbs up if stopped at side of road just to tell passing bikers I'm ok.
Maybe a thumbs down if you're begging for some help?
Obviously when an accident it's pretty obvious to stop.

 

I also carry a 4" LED warning triangle that I can use if I break down...should give a clue I need a hand

 

Puncture kit is the one thing I do keep under the seat (+Triumph tool kit which is next to useless) - just leaves room for disk lock and wallet, then I've run out of space.
Pack a bit more if going away for a few days, bluetooth OBD dongle and TuneECU app on the phone is worth carrying too IMO.

 

Col_C, did you say there is room under your seat for your wallet? Surely shome mishtake

 

Good on yer RT, certainly didnt deter him as he set off filtering again at a fair old lick.

 

Think it's empty apart from the moths.

 

Can't get sweet fa under mine as the scotoiller feed has been put there.

 

Good on ya RT. Didn't notice any car drivers stopping to check he was okay?! A fair does to the lad getting straight back on and away filtering. Not sure if I'd do the same!
