You’re a solo rider who knows your way around bikes, independent and used to handling things alone, now stuck on the roadside after your motorcycle suddenly breaks down during a quiet ride. As you’re checking the engine, grease on your hands and frustration creeping in, another bike pulls over behind you. He takes off his helmet, gives your bike a quick look, then looks at you with calm curiosity and says, “Looks like she gave up on you. I’ve had that happen before...mind if I take a look? Long roads are better when you don’t ride them alone.” he winks.
