Old Bonnies require that you keep your Karma balance proper. Ask me how I know. :drink:smashtime said:
People just don't stop to help like they used to. I think it's something in the upholstering of SUV's.

There must have been 50 bikes ride right past us, save one guy. He was a really cool cat on an old bonnie that stopped and asked if I needed help. I thought that was really cool. Just another reason why I like the brand and MOST of the people that ride it.
You may be on to something. ;Dcrashmasterd said:... I think it's something in the upholstering of SUV's.
+1, when i used to ride a bonnie, i had an experience where i forgot to put the petcock back to full instead of reserve. i ran out of gas, and an old grizzler biker that looked like he was gonna kick my ass pulled over and asked if i was ok, i sheepishly told him what happened and he burst out laughing, at first i was a little incencsed about it. but then he said "man, i've been riding 40 years and still do it, then he pulled out a quart of gas from his pannier, dumped it in my tank and wished me well. i offered to follow him to a gas station and fill up his quart container, but he wouldn't have it, just told be to pay it forward, and off he went...really changed my oppinion of "harley riders".itchin said:Back in 83-4 i wrecked my brand new, ( 200 miles ) V4 Sabre in Vallejo, Ca. The only person that stopped was an old grizzled 1%er on an old Panhead hardtail. Sat me on the side of the road, pulled my bike over, gave me a smoke, and sat with me til Leo got there. It's the person not the bike.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think back in the 50's a politian was asked what he was going to do about the bikie gangs, he said not to worry about them as they were only a 1% minority group. So the bikers jumped on it and have worn it proudly ever since.kcjones said:Maybe some of us (me included) need a real definition of a 1%er.
I got the same response from a Harley rider when I was working at the Triumph dealership. I off-handedly mentioned I started out on an 88 Sportster and an 85 Superglide and he perked right up. Sometimes you have to prove you're not a total twat/squid before some people will lighten up and drop their 'I'm a badass biker' front.Bucket said:Basically had the same thing happen as jdonly1 did,stopped to see if the Harley rider was ok,got a grunt in reply,did a wheelstand as i left.Fn arrogant c*#nt.opcorn:
Mate those big bloated things are like an oil tanker. They can't turn around and can't stop for fear they won't get started againBichomalo said:Thats funny this weekend we took a ride to fort myers and I got tired of waving at Harley's and not get it back, and at one point I stopped to make a call and a million Harley's past me and not one stopped some minutes later a squid /Zx pulls up and asked if I needed help!
