Well I did mine this morning.........

Went to get the MRS SUV serviced this morning at the dealer and after I left I saw it only had 1/2 tank fuel so the good hubby I am I pull into the gas station to fill 'er up. Next island is a biker who is fueling and I hear his bike slow cranking when he tries to start it. I recognize the "crank" as dying and by the time I filled up, his bike won't start. As I hang up the nozzle this guy is trying to push start his bike while on it, no go ! So what the heck a fellow biker in trouble but I thought I'm not gonna push him, I'll jump start him if he wants. He's sitting there a second pondering what to do when I approach him and offer to jump his bike as I carry cables in my vehicles. He says sure but I don't even know how to do it, said no problem I'm a rider also. Pull out the cables attach them to the SUV ( not running of course)then to his battery and instant VAROOM !!!!!!!! Guy is happy as heck, told him to have the batetry checked as this cooler weather will kill them if it's old. Said he'd do it. Felt a sense of goodness being able to get a fellow biker going with what little I know in my humble opinion Oh by the way, did I fail to mention he was one El Paso Citys finest ? Yep, a MOTOR LEO !

Bravo EPRoadie...

Nice! Hopefully you exchanged info for that "remember that time I helped you" moment.

I can't pass by a biker in trouble. Even a 1%'er will get help from me if he wants it. I stopped to help a 1%'er on my R*. He had no negative comments about me riding a rice burner. He was just glad I stopped. He said he counted at least 15 zoomies pass by and acted like they were afraid. His fuel line was stopped up. He just had his tank repainted and there was a little bit of tape inside the gas tank. I believe he planned to go back to the paint shop and kick some butt.

Reason I ride because it is fun. I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.
I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone.
My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself.
I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex. I learn everything I can about my machine, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well-being.
I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn it’s limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.
I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.
My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be.
I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.
I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them.
I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.
I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be bitch-slapped.
It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.
I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine,their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them.
I will stand ready to help any other bikers that truly needs my help. I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself.
I am not a part-time biker, I am a biker when, and where-ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.

you only did it so he may remember you when you blow by on the interstate at 120mph

seriouly though, good looking out for a fellow rider

+1 for the help you gave a fellow biker in need.
That is a good biker code of respect to fellow bikers.
samson that,that you wrote,is the way I feel too,I get a lot of
looks when I go places here in this little town,of 6,000 people,
and beleave me everybody knows every thing you say or do by sun down.
this county is the one where the lady from iowa's car was found, it
was found about 12 miles from our house. the o'l lady is freaking out about that. I just told her to keep the shotgun a little closer to her side and don't hesitate.

Did ya stick around to get your "Get Out of Jail Free" card?
