    The French used to have, and still may have a ‘Good Samaritan Law’ whereby you can be nicked if you don’t reasonably help someone in need. Obviously you wouldn’t be expected to put ur self in danger but ignoring someone having a heart attack on the bus would get you (potentially) in trouble.

    With all the stabbings and scooter related crime in London maybe people are afraid to go near bikers...

    Or they might ride a Harley, in which case you would ride on past. Being polite you’d give ‘em a wave...

    Can’t stop every five minutes to help a Harley rider - heck, you would never make any progress.

    Edit: I don’t know why I joke about HD riders as I am the only Brit bike rider in our regular group. Everyone else ride HD’s of one awful description or another.

    They don’t break down as often as I suggest, although the riders themselves have a tendency to a) forget their wallet for breakfast, b) need to stop for a pee at every other service station (on a good day), c) bale out of a ride if there is so much as a teeny cloud anywhere on the horizon, or d) put diesel in their tank... well HDs do sound and handle like tractors.

    Great guys.

    If you are wondering, A thru D are all true.
