About two weeks ago I was leaving work and going home. My bike started spitting and back firing. So I pulled over to investigate. I'm not very good at diagnosing problems on the fly, but that's not the point. While I was pulled over, I swear that half a dozen "bikers" flew by me during the 5-10 min. That I was sitting there inspecting my bike. All of these assholes that just got off work just flew by me. One guy that was heading to work stopped to see if I needed help. I thought that my plugs were fouling so i told him I'd be alright. So I limped home at about 50% power. I get a call last night from a friend as I was getting ready for bed. His buddy was broke down and needed a hand. Everyone else was at the lake or out of town because of the holiday weekend. This buddy of mine couldn't help because he's healing from the suv that hit him 2 weeks ago. So even though i was not in the best shape to ride, I wasnt going to leave a friend of a friend sitting on the side of the road. When i showed up, he had a similar story. His bike was dead in the water, and nobody stopped. So to hell with all of these wannabe's. If somebody is broke down on the side of the road, I will never leave them sitting there alone scratching their head.
P.S. I eventually figured out that my points loosened up and fell out to about .050" and had to be adjusted and retimed.
