Helped out fellow biker... or did I?
Wife n I ,toolin down the highway, headed south.
North bound lane I see a biker along side the road.
Not wanting to get chastized by you all in here,, I do the good deed. turn around to help him out,+ check on his situation.
He was sort of an odd character, Minority of eastern persuasion,
couldn't speak very good english.
Anyways ,, he say,, " bike no go,, brake no work, wobble weely bad,shakey."
Luckly wife n I coming from getting some oriental groceries for home made grub.
well I put my Mcgiver instincts to work,,,make a paste out of soy and rice to
patch his leaky tank,,used some baby snow peas to fix his neck brg's.
add some ginger root to his fuel to unplug the jets in carb,made tie wire
out of bamboo shoots get his linkage back together, and a few other odds and ends
I get him going, he was happy, and I'm sure he was trying to thank me,,
as he sped off, hammerin through the gears,,,,,only to come upon the red
light down the road rather fast,, I see no brake lights ,,,,,( brakes, chit!!!
I forgot to fix his brakes) as I hear a loud scream BANZAI !!!!!!!!!!!!!
and see the liittle dude blow through the intersection barley missing
becoming part of a semi's grill decoration!!!
tis true,,, you meet the strangest people on a honda,
good luck my friend!

RE: Helped out fellow biker... or did I?
No problem, I just Flintstoned it through the intersection. Wore some leather off my soles but I came to a stop. Babied that bad 305 Dream home and then cooked up a great feast with the spare parts. Ginger snow peas with fried tofu (though it was a bit gassy), bamboo steamed in soy sauce, and some 10W-30 fried rice. Don't want to seem ungrateful but you could have used some almond cookies as wheel weights then I would have had dessert also.
