Default Soft Shoulders and a Red Face

Heading up north today and came to a 4-way intersection. As I stop, there is a guy on a older Honda Shadow (I think, didn't look too closely), to my left halfway down in the ditch. It looked like he turned too wide and got into the gravel shoulder and slid into the grass and slowly laid it down. Did a quick U-turn, hopped off my bike, grabbed the front end and helped him right it. Then pushed him back up onto the road. It spun over a few times, but eventually started. He was unhurt, but seemed pretty embarassed, and after a quick thanks, he went south and I turned back north.

I think these gas prices are bringing inexperienced riders out of the woodwork. Hope he makes it.

Gas prices are doing just that! we are getting over run here with blue hair warriors on scooters & they are scary! Way more bike activity this year & it's still spring.
