RE: ADSactly Personal - Cringeworthy Moments: We have all been there... (Haven't We?)
Well. Maybe one or two cringeworthy moments. Since yesterday :)
Maybe my favorite is this: I was riding in a serious rainstorm in rural Kentucky. It was early in the day and I had been drinking lots of coffee. I had to go. I mean I had to GO. So I pulled into a local gas station, parked, and headed to the bathroom. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to put the sidestand down. Crash. Down goes my 900# motorcycle. I didn't even look back, just went to the rest room. How would I stand that heavy pig up crossed my mind.
When I walked out, four young men jumped out of a car and wordlessly walked over and picked up my motorcycle. They'd watched the whole thing and figured out exactly what happened. They were very polite and hardly smiled as they helped me. I still have a fondness for Kentucky.
Thanks for the great stories. Made my Sunday morning much better!
At least that one shows the kindness of strangers. I think that most of us have been caught short at some point and would have some empathy.
