It won't be the last time I stop, but I'll be taking a good inventory of the rider next time before I bother to sit on the ground, unwrap my tools and take parts off my bike to get them rolling again. If I get a hint of bad attitude, I'll say good luck and roll away.
I'm in Daytona to race, the number of idiots on bikes is STAGGERING. I'm embarrassed to be counted among them. No, nobody is waving, they all appear to be in pain by their facial expressions and enjoy blasting open exhaust at women, children and dogs as they sit at a light.
Wave to your friends!  |
You will want to skip the bahama breeze just across the street from Daytona.
Was hoping for something more, but it wasn't there.... the drinks where good though!
One does not help others for the gratification of receiving something in return, but instead to know that a selfless act was gifted. But yea... a simple thank you goes a looooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggg way. Keep stopping and helping, otherwise the old ways are completely lost.
