Things are not always what they seem

So it appears that the low fuel light on the Ducati is not working. Got about a mile away from work today when the bike promptly shut down. Open the tank, nothing. I start walking back, helmet in hand, about a quarter mile away a white Chrysler 300 decked out in big chrome dubs rolls up, window comes down, guy asks me if that's my bike back there and do I need I ride. He's black, got mini dreads and a big gold grill on his front teeth. I tell him I ran out of gas and sure, just need a ride down the street. He says hop in and I'll take you back.

his name was Troy. he was a good guy and had a nice conversation about the bike, where he works, he wants to get a bike, etc. as we made it back to my work in a few minutes.

nice guy.

Shaun,
Yep, they're out there, just hard to find them among the losers and posers. Good people are out there, it's comforting to know that!

Have you checked to make sure you still have your wallet?
