I ran out to Walmart to pick up a few things and saw a bike on the side of the road either broken down or getting a ticket from the state trooper parked behind it. I kept going but on the return trip I saw a second bike parked minus the trooper. I thought about letting it go and then I thought about all the times people have helped me. I have a small S10 pickup and a trailer I use for my bike so I thought I could help. I doubled back at the next exit. It was a young couple who were 100 miles from home when the 81 Kawasaki she was riding threw a spark plug. They were out for about 2 weeks and had made it as far as Nashville from Long Island NY. They had all sots of camping gear hanging off both bikes. It brought back memories. He tried to tap the spark plug hole but must have dropped some shavings into the cylinder because it was very hard to turn over and wouldn’t start. They decided to scrap it and I offered to drop her off about 30 miles north at the main train station at Trenton NJ while he rode the other bike the rest of the way home.
On the way I shared how my late wife loved to ride and all the great trips we took and now I am a small part of their story just like others who have helped me are a part of mine. The willingness to help fellow riders is one of the great things about riding. I hope its something we can keep it going
