Ditto.
I always stop. Usually he's just stopped to make a phone call or have a smoke, but I always check on a fellow rider. A couple times they really did need help and were very appreciative of the courtesy.

I always stop, doesn't mater how many wheels on the vehicle. Most don't need help, sometimes the bike needs more than what is available along side the road.
Once I stopped for a guy along the interstate. He wasn't in a very good mood and is almost mad because so many people are checking on him. He tells me that his friends will be back in a couple hours with some parts and he doesn't need anything.
I went to the nearest store, bought a couple sandwichs, chips, sodas and a magazine. Went back and had lunch with him.

The tire warranty and HOG are a pretty good deal. Got away for free.

I ALWAYS stop. The last time I stopped for a bike on the side of the road it was a guy on a Honda silverwing scooter on his cell phone. Haven't seen anyone broke down in quite a while.
The last time I was broke down with the ironhead I pushed it for 2 1/2 miles back to the house. 1 bike rode past me and never stopped.

I always stop. I'm hoping that my offers to help will generate enough good karma that should it be me stuck on the roadside, somebody will stop for me just like Ive done for others.
