I'm driving home from work last night...it's 3am. Since I had to get milk, I take the back roads home (I'm in my car). I see a bike pulled over and a car pulled over. Thought it was an accident. I stop to check things out. Girl with bike exclaims "You're the first person to stop! "
Turns out she's a new rider. Driving a full size Harley. She got a low oil warning and wisely decided to stop. Called a buddy to bring her oil. However, since it's really dark here, she left the lights on for safety and bike doesn't have enough juice to start. Can I help? Sure..I have tools and jumper cables in the car.
Proceed to get to battery (she helped..knew how to remove battery cover). Jump bike and it starts. During our brief convo, she mentioned the cost of finding 20W50 at 3am in the morning. So I give her one of my Amsoil business cards. I wish her well as she proceeds to put the battery cover, seat on, etc. I leave.
15 minutes later, I'm nearly home. My cell phone rings. "Hello Ron? It's Kim! " "Who? " I ask. "Kim..you just jumped my bike". Oh..ok. She's nearly in tears BTW. She explains that as she went to leave she stalled the bike. It won't start. She's stranded. Again. I tell her to be calm and I'll be there in 15 minutes.
So I drive back and perform the same thing again. I caution her to give it a bit more gas then she needs when leaving stops. I jump it and wait until she leaves this time..in case. She leaves and is on her way.
Was glad to help out. She offered me money..I declined.
Was nice to help someone out in a jam.
