Stopped to help out a guy on a Sportster. It quit and wouldn't start. I think he was out of gas so I didn't push trying to diagnose to save him embarrassment. We pushed it into a parking lot and I offered him a ride. He looked at my scooter and asked "What the hell is that?" I almost busted out.

Anyway, I gave him a ride to a Handy Way 5 miles down the road so he could call his "ole lady". When he got off he thanked me and said "That thing is pretty fun to ride isn't it bro?" lol i just nodded and told him to ride safe.

Glad I could help him out.

PS The look on his face when we were at the Handy Way when I unlocked the suspension and leaned it over...and when I drove one wheel up on the sidewalk was priceless. He just couldn't get over it.

Good thing you're not a mean guy...you could've easily pulled up and said, "I think I know what the problem is....you're missing a front wheel!" and then sped off, spraying him with gravel...MUHAHAHA Razz emoticon (The doctors told me to voice these comments instead of leaving them to swirl around in my brain )
