The other night I was parked at side of road on my phone...... I lad on a lil aprilla Lplates on pulled alongside and asked if I was OK and did I need any help.....stuck thumb up as all good he whizzed off.....5minutes later a vtwin jus gunned it past didn't even acknowledge me,...... Personally when I see bike at side I do thumbs up or down to see if they OK..... And would help if needed.

If I saw you on your phone I'd probably assume that was why you stopped and go on past. Do the thumbs up or down thing if I had time maybe. 30 years ago very different - stop or signal every time but bikes are so reliable now.

I agree with Dailaughing I would assumed you were ok as you were on the phone, if you were looking at your bike with the 'oh bloody hell' look then I would stop and ask if your ok.

drive on past with middle finger up

Lol I'll remember that, instead of offering to help I'll give em the bird lol

if I'm able to stop I will ad have in the past.

I try and stop if I can, even though I haven't had a bike, I've helped a few people out in the last few years, gave a chap on the M4 some petrol as he had ran out, and another chap a lift to the nearest petrol station as he was walking along with all his gear on.

I have had help in the past so think it's pay back.

If I see someone in trouble and it's safe/I'm able to stop, I will. If I can't stop and the person looks to be at risk I'll phone the non-emergency police number.
