So, you're saying you would have deliberately kicked him in the nuts?Originally Posted by theshnizzle
If you had stopped I wouldn't have randomly kicked you in the nuts or anything!
:>
I don't think anyone HAS to help you.... but I would have, even though there probably wouldn't have been much I could do apart from lend you a cell phone or get you some gas.
I have noticed in the past 5 years is a quite a decline in the whole friendliness to other bikers thing. The scene has almost turned from a brother/sisterhood to a cluster of insecure ******* showoffs.
Racing is cool you still get the same comradarie as you used to get 10 years ago when you rode a bike on the street (damn I'm getting old) but outside of that you bump into a lot of **********.
- Other bikers giving the cold shoulder if someone they don't know parks next to them.
- I think less of than 30% of waves get returned
- people not stopping to see if someone needs help.
It wasn't like this a short while ago.
Anyone else notice this??
I tend to stop to help anyone. I came around a corner the other day by Highway 3 and saw a biker down. Immediately slammed on my breaks ( not the brightest thing, almost had myself fish tailing off the road ) but was able to go and grab him some gas, he had run out.
I even stopped for a car to help them put a tire on. Was an older guy and I could tell he had no hope in hell to get the nuts off with his tire iron.
dang, sorry to hear no one acknowleged you
Such a shame when society becomes like this.
No, I have not noticed. I think it's always been this way. Bikers are not the friendly, close group you think. Bikers are Torontonians first, who just happen to ride 2 wheels. There is no exclusivity when riding a bike. You should not expect preferential treatment just because you ride a bike. Bikers are not exclusive. Who knows, maybe you stop and some wackjob chick starts wailing about attempted rape? (This is a theoretical example, do not read into this that the Snizz would do this) You are on your own when you break down. If someone helps you, be thankful, but understand that this is abnormal Torontonian behaviour, a true Good Samaritan.
If the OP just wants to vent, then this is good group therapy, and I'm all for it. If she believes help from fellow bikers is a birthright, then she will be disappointed.
I remember that .. i was there for that one.

Inferno is the new GTAM P.I.M.P.
Sounds painful, but if it keeps him from running around on you then maybe it's for the best.
har har
I'll stop to help a motorcyclist (or even a driver) in trouble, but I don't expect the same.
Just because we both ride a motorcycle doesn't mean we're in a club or a brotherhood. There are friendly, helpful riders and not-so-friendly-and-helpful riders out there.
The not-so-friendly-riders ride Harleys.
No kidding her and pecas.
Also why do you think you and your busa is the best thing since sliced bread. Every ****in thread is about being a girl and riding a busa and how everyone you encounter is intimidated by a girl on a busa.
Why are you and pecas so stuck on what you are riding?
Maybe you should get a bike you are actually big enough to manouver and push if need be.
I am not sure that this is typical experience.
I will not stop only if I notice rider too late.
Last week there was cruiser guy standing on lakeshore.
I stopped and he was out of gas but someone else
already stopped before me and went to get gas for him.
Rider thanked me and I was on my way.
I would hope this is typical experience.
Sure most of us are not mechanics but we all
have some tools on bike and spare fuse or two.
Beside just pushing bike would be enough in this case...
Try this: Hope for the best and expect nothing.
BTW... Oh I saw you alright, but I feel threatened by women on SuperbikesLast one I stopped to help kicked me in the nuts. I'll never make that mistake again.
I'm sure there are plenty of other Riders, men and women on here who ride better than me and have cooler bikes...who cares!
Anyone on GTAM NOT know you drive a Busa yet?? *sound of crickets chirping*.
end rant
What is Busa? Small Bus?

You know the way this is laid out it almost looks like song lyrics...got a chord progression yet? Surely we could do a Hall and Oates, John and Yoko, etc. haha I'm thinking G to C chord then D... What do you think?
Stop messing with me. Now I am thinking I am wasting my life
on computers while I could be up there with Kanye and the rest...

Did you have your helmet on the ground by your front tire?
I think that's the signal to let other riders know you are in trouble. Otherwise, they might think you are showing off your sweet ride. =p
Forget world peace. Visualize using your turn signal.
This is only my 4th season riding, but on pretty much every bike trip I've come across a lot of really awesome people who were more than willing to help when it was needed. I guess it depends where you go, city mentality can be ****ed.
I've noticed that people cannot take care of their own vehicles, and rely on others too much
