Just tried to help
On the way home going down a very busy 2 lane. Guy on a metric sitting in the area beyond the turn lane. Middle of the road. 55MPH. Just past a wicked dangerous intersection. Hes on the phone looking broke down. I find a place to turn around and go back to see if he needs help. Nope. Just sitting in the middle of the ****in road on his cell. IDIOT!

RE: Just tried to help
There seem to be so many riders doing stuff like that that I wont stop anymore unless they do something to indicate they have a problem. Too many idiots that might take you out trying to help when there is no need.

The question is - did he give you attitude when you stopped, or did he thank you for pointing out that he was putting lives in danger and promise never to do it again? Hopefully it is the latter, but based on your post, I would say it was probably the former.

I have a friend that texts while he rides, I tell him how stupid he is too.

Did the same thing on the Eisenhower Expressway, but it was a guy on a Harley with a cell phone! \\; He was nice and thatnked me for stopping............Getting back into traffic made me appreciate all 96 cubic inches, lol.
