I was returning home from Maryland to North Carolina. I misjudged my fuel status. I got 234 miles out of my tank and it was dry. Locked up my panniers and walked up the highway with my helmet in hand. A fellow biker pulled over. Said He would see what he could do. We exchanged phone numbers via text. His bike had only one seat. It was a sport bike with that plastic trunk molding thing instead of a seat. It was a Suzuki.
I continued to walk and stuck out my thumb. Not 2 minuets had passed and I had a ride. Called the guy he was already there. Told him I would be there in just a minute or two. It was 3 miles up 81 mile marker 158. Got to the gas station. He found me gave me a gas can with gas in it. And said pay it forward. Would not take any money. Walked back to the highway. Helmet and gas in hand. No wait at all, a bmw car pulled over. A guy with his girlfriend picked me up and dropped me off at the mile marker. I just had to cross 4 lanes of divided highway with trees and hill in the middle. It was a snap. Put the gas in then filled the tank up at the gas station. The bmw couple rode and just wanted to help.
My faith in mankind had restored.
If you ever break down carry your helmet with you waking away from your bike. You will get a ride Lickety split.
