Re: Did strangers ever help you? Narrate here..

Me and my frnd went on two bike to Coorg, while returning around 11pm, I fell sick and my Muscle got strained I couldnt even make a move, my back was Hurting. I just stopped bike road side, rested my head on Tank, it was pitch dark no sign of people around. My frnd was helpless he had to stay with me. Suddenly goods auto came asked prob, he offred us ride, he placed my bike between his goods and I sat next to him, I couldnt even talk with him I was sick fell asleep in his shoulders and my frnd followed me, he dropped till Mysore city and didnt took money from us! I was diagnosed with Chicken Gunya

This happens last year when my car stall in an intersection. A lot of cars have passed by me but only this old man stop. I am so thankful that he helped me out.

This happened a few days before Christmas 2017.

I was riding from Bangalore to Goa. I think it was Panjim, or some other place in North Goa. I was solo on my CBR 250.
Got delayed while leaving from Bangalore. Left around 2:00 pm.

This is one of the time when I exhibited the zenith of my dumbassery. I forgot that it was a 700-800 kms ride. Somehow, in my head, it was about 300-400 kms. Maybe because I used to do a lot of South Goa runs back when I was in Udupi. Whatever the reason may have been. I acted like an idiot and got the tank filled only once. 13 Litres @ 30-35 kmpl.

It was the ghat section on the way to goa and no petrol bunk in sight. I had just crossed a toll booth about 30-40 minutes back and my motorcycle gave up. It was ~10:00 pm in the night, complete darkness on the road (no street lights) and no signal on the phone, with low battery (no power bank on me in those days).

I waited on the road for some time and noticed that 3 guys on a motorcycle were coming. Language barrier presented itself (My dumbass knows only Hindi and English), but they were incredibly gracious and helped me with petrol. I paid them Rs. 150 for 1 litre of petrol, but was more than happy and continued on my journey.

The whole incident cost me about an hour and a lot of perilous thoughts crossed my mind. I had an RJ motorcycle in Goa, in the middle of nowhere, with no connection with the outside world.
