Default Do you think anybody?

On my way to work this morning, the front header pipe came off the engine. A stud broke and the other nut loosened off. I stopped at the side of the highway to try and fix the problem. In the 20 minutes it took me rig something, no body stopped to offer assistance. At leased a dozen Harley's passed me and not one even slowed down. Am I too old fashioned? Or is there a problem with the motorcycle world. Is everyone too busy trying to be cool, to help a fellow biker?

new breed of bikers out there. Very few old timers left. Most people now days have cell phones, free bike towing, ect.

hope you didn't ride to long with the pipe loose.. Had this happen to me (laid the bike down and broke the studs),. F'd up the exhaust vavle from the cold air getting back to it.

I'm not old. I always stop for motorcycles. I don't think it has to do with age. I was raised well. I credit my parents.
