Next time, break down closer to me. My Shovel did that same thing once. The cover was old and didn't mount properly. Got a new cover, and all mounting is good now.
If it makes you fell any better, I stopped to help a guy on a NEW Harley on the side of the road, I have extra points, condenser, spark plugs, bulbs, fuses, etc. and a reasonable amount of road tools. None of that stuff applies to the new bikes, so he was SOL. I did let him use my cellphone to call the dealer for help though.

OP, FLORIDA. FOLKS can be testy. I have friends there but they are special. LOL

I'll slow down and offer a thumbs up / thumbs down gesture which gives them a chance to indicate whether they need help. All have been a smile and a wave (a thanks but no thanks,) but the one couple coming back from Daytona with a broken throttle cable. (And they already had help on the way.)
I typically don't need help. I've got a cell phone, tow insurance and a poncho in case it rains. I think most folks are like that now.

^^^ This exactly the same for me.

I have a Lepera bare bones for daily riding (I use a mustang on trips). Anyway, the former, while looking great, will turn your behind into a burning ember after a couple of hours. I pulled off the freeway a couple of weeks ago to air my roasting posterior and the only two bikes to pass me asked if I needed help (honestly I did, but nothing they could do for me)! It's a really great community.

I've noticed a lot of things in my life and one of them is this. Just because a person rides a Harley, doesn't mean that every body else that rides a Harley is their so called brother or sister. Times have changed and people need to grow up and realize that. On a personal note, I probably would have stopped and at least made the effort to see if that person needed any help.
