I was going home after picking up a new oil pan for my Safari van from a wrecking yard. Just tooling along at 62 in a 55 on hwy 26 and I see this bike alongside the road and the rider had his helmet off, so I slow down to pull over and see if there is anything that I can do for him.
Well I was just stopping about 5 feet away when he turns away from me and I see POLICE on the back of his coat. OH BOY. So I say to him, that I saw him and was stopping to see if he needed help. He looks at me with a grin and says, "I am broke down and have help on the way." We chat a bit while the traffic thins enough for me to get back on the road.
It seems that he was taking off to stop a speeder, and around here that is 10 or more over, not much to worry about under that, and blew his clutch. " I guess that one got away" he says. The cops around here drive the new Beamers and are having a few reliability issues.
I just tell him that they should have stuck with the Kawasaki's and he agreed. Traffic thinned so off I went, I came out of 1st gear at 50 and left him shaking his head alongside of the road. I was on my 80 GS 1100 LT.
