Looking for a local group of heroes, Virginia Beach
This past Sunday, October 31, 2010, I made a serious mistake and took a twisty road too fast, hit the soft shoulder and wet pinestraw, and crashed my bike. Lucky for me I went low side and landed in a ditch filled with pine straw. I must have had an angel on my shoulder because other than a few bruises, I am ok. My Dyna landed beside me and got mired in the mud and water and there was no way me and my hubby were going to get her out by ourselves.
Well, a second angel was sitting on my other shoulder because right after the crash, four riders on big HD dressers came along, three guys and a gal. They all pitched in and helped me and the hubby get my bike out of the ditch. It was tough one. These poor folks got soaked to the knees and probably ruined their riding boots while they were helping me. I remembered to thank them but failed to get their names which I blame on getting my bell rung pretty hard. I want to thank them properly and buy them new boots to replace the ruined ones. It's the least I could do.
So if the folks who helped me out of a bad spot are reading this, please respond to this thread. Or if you know someone who told you a story about helping a dizzy chick out of the ditch this weekend in Virginia Beach on Indian River Road, please let them know about this post. I sure would like to hear from them.

welcome from north carolina, i would be very surprised if anybody took you up on the new boots offer. I am sure your thanks were enough, and just remember to help another biker out if you ever see the need.

Welcome from VA Beach. I'll pass it on if I hear anyone speaking about it. Have you thought about sending your story into the Virginian-Pilot at "how.nice@pilotonline.com ? They do stories in the Daily Break once a week about acts of kindness and rudeness. Might be a way to get a response.
