Reminds me of when my fuel pump went out and I was bypassing it on the shoulder on I-77 must have been a couple dozens bikes went by, did have a couple of cars stop.
When I was younger I stopped in my truck one day and picked up a really rough looking guy on an old pan head he asked why I stopped so I told him your a biker you can't be that bad. I dropped him off about 20 miles up the road at a gas station where he called a friend to come pick him and the bike up. When I finished pumping my gas he was gone and when I went to pay the clerk told me my buddy paid for gas and handed me a couple bucks in change.
