FYI 1st aid and CPR course is nice to have in case of emergency too.

Choices
Anyone who rides a bike and sees a bike on the side of the road, has only two choices, the right one and the wrong one. You have no choice if you are a real person. Those who pass by are not worth the air they breath. That is my take on it.
I passed a group of "Buffalo Solders" somewhere in the mid west (never heard of them) while towing a trailer to Sturgis, SD. I stopped to help because I had the equipment and tools to help another biker. I have never not help as it has been me on the side of the road a few times in my life. Maybe a quart of gas or some electrical tape and wire to get them going, what is the difference as you are here on this earth and at some point, you are not? It is what you do in your own life is how you will judge yourself in the end. Again, I have no choice.

+2 pts in the GOOD KARMA category for you and the wife for lending a helping hand, I know this much, I first hope nothing like that ever happens to you, but if it should I also hope you see the karma come back your way

It's Karma. It works both ways. It will be returned to you when you least expect it.
Wish more people would step up like you guys did. Ride safe

Good for you! It has nothing to do with a "brotherhood" or being a "biker" and everything with being raised right and doing the right thing. Good people are sorely needed and hard to find in this crazy mixed up world......don't sell yourself short by crediting some make believe "brotherhood" for your actions. If you follow many of the threads on this topic, most wouldn't of stopped to help. Do a search, it's really interesting. So much for the "brotherhood"! lol
The wife said when we road away "I hope somebody stops and helps us if we end up in a ditch someday". Only time will tell.

He told a story of helping an elderly woman who collapsed in a grocery store parking lot and at least a dozen people circled around and stood there looking at her while waiting for EMT's to come and help. My instructor knelt down by her, took her hand and started talking to her...long story short; helped her up and walked her to his car, gave her some water and waited with her for EMT's...she simply got light headed and passed out from the heat. He said people were yelling to him "you're gonna get sued" for trying to help. Amazing how few a people know about good Samaritan laws. My instructor got involved and helped her…anybody could have.

I could see how it could be rough figuring out what's wrong if that sensor actually went bad. Not something I would guess you could diagnose along the road side...
