Jim, all we can do is continue to stop to help a fellow motorcyclist in need
and hope that those missing the point take notice..
Roberto in Ky.

Years ago when I was more actively riding, nobody would EVER ride past another rider on the side of the road without asking if they needed help. Even now, if I see someone on a motorcycle on the side of the road, I stop and make sure everything is OK. Usually they are just streching or something but every now and then they have a problem and I can help. Am I the only one that does this anymore? What's happened to the Camaraderie?
