I spent 3 hours on the side of the road, out in the middle of no where, barely any cell service, 97 degrees, waiting on a tow truck to pick me and the bike up. Had a flat on the front and it spun the innertube inside the tire so I couldnt fix it on the side of the road.
I would have rather been any where else than the side of the road. Sad thin is in 3 hours only 4 people stopped, one was a sherrifs deputy, another was an old farmer who gave me 2 bottles of water. Another took me to the gas station to get some fix a flat before I realized that I had spun the tube. The last was an old farmer we sat and talked for a while about bikes, He has a goldwing that he has taken to Cali twice and a 66 panhead that he bought new.
I saw 15 or 20 bikes roll by but none of them even got off the throttle as they rolled by. So much for the biker community helping out.......

Yea, I rode mine to the mailbox, about 1/3 mile. Too damned hot. Will ride more this evening though.
