Max, having you as friend, is great. I wouldn't have expected anything different. Just wish we lived closer for a drink or two now and then...
I too had an occasion to thank someone who helped me one night. I was working security at a resturant that is very well known, but is located out in the middle of nowhere. The owner/chef and I are friends, and will work security for him now and then. I rode the Harley out, running late to get there on time. Forgot to check the gas tank. It's midnight and this biker looking dude (ME) runs out of gas in the middle of no mans land. I have push this sucker for a couple of miles now, and am resting, ready to tackle a hill in front of me. It's around 1 am and the thought of someone coming along is all but over. Well, Mom and Pop, in a mini, are coming home from a midnight run to the grocery store, and stop to help. I told them I had run out of gas, and asked to use their cell phone if they had one, as mine had long been dead. I tried to call home, my sons, no one is answering. I thanked them, and told them I wasn't leaving the bike, but thanks for the offer for a ride. I am pushing this Harley up this big hill, when the mini van showed up again, with a 2 gal gas can, full of gas. I tried to pay them, wouldn't here of it. And off they went into the night. Never having to tell them I was a cop, not once as they were more than willing to help, I ran their plate. Long story short, I sent them a gift card for dinner for two at that 5 star resturant I had just left. Best $50 I ever spent for gas. Nice job Max...we aren't as mean as we look....lol.....

 

We are all so blessed to be in this group! Really great people, love our cars and other people. I was always taught to be a help to everyone that I could, I think most all of you had the same training. Makes me know that the world still has enough hope and love to go around! Proud to know all of you.

 

Guys, if you ask around, you'll find that I really take care of my guests. Even strays!

Heck, some have even driven away in buffed, waxed cars!

Thanks for the kind words, Max

 

Buffed.....Waxed Cars.....how many miles is it from Cicero Indiana again?..............

 

Max: Good man! Your the kind of guy we all strive to be. You were taught well, what more you learned and cared for someone else. Pleasure to talk with you!

 

When I read the start of this thread I immediately thought of knuckles.
Of course we only have Max's word that the guy was small, he could have been 7 feet and 300lbs and a body like Arnold in his prime. But I believe Max's story, after all he's bigger and younger than me.
Good on you Max.

 

Good story Max - does a person have to almost wreck ya to get breakfast?

 

No. Just show up!

And carrying a bottle of scotch helps a whole lot!
