This is one of the big things I like about motorcycles. I've probably stopped a half dozen times to help people with stupid shit - dropped a bunch of papers (I live very near a university), can't fit the fish tank in the car, etc. The ability to just pull over anywhere and get off, combined with the extra awareness of your surroundings, really makes it easier to be a part of the world rather than just drive through it.

Good plan when you get old. Fall near hot women and look helpless.

Isn't this also the dude who revved at people as they're crossing the sidewalk? I thought that was hilarious. I mean, yeah this is nice and all but that shit was funny.

I need videos like this. Seeing human beings being humane is so refreshing.

Man that old guy sure fell hard! But something about the way he pointed to where he was headed at the end of the video made me think he's done this before...

He's actually a serial killer and that's how he finds his victims... I've been watching too much Criminal Minds.

That last one reminded me of Barney from How I met your mother. Seems like something he'd pull.

Try do the same stuff as this rider. Unfortunately my last event I got off my bike to help a woman with a stroller on to the streetcar and accidentally rev the engine as I got of and scarred the kid. Whoops.

I had seen the one with the old man before, but not the others. Definitely the best part of being a motorcycle rider for me - because you're closer to the world than in a car, its somehow a lot easier to be helpful and friendly.

technically this guy can be prosecuted for this video when he stopped to help that chap from Austria who broke down.

You think "that will never happen" but a car was charged for passing the white line on a red light, to get out of the way for an ambulance (with blues and twos on) behind him.

As M13 says, motorcyclists are the closest thing we have to super heroes and the police are the closest thing we have to super villains. :)

This is something I absolutely love. It's inspiring. When I crashed, I had a rider stop and be so kind, helpful and great that I've only wanted to pay it forward ever since. Now, whenever I see someone on the side of the road I always check to make sure they're okay. Look out for each other guys.

Same here. One day it was raining very bad. Water coveted my foot pegs at some sections of the road. At one point a car going opposite direction stopped working. Every single went around him; I drove my strom over to the sidewalk walked to the middle of the road (water up to my knees and getting my boots full of water) and help the guy push his car into a bank. While finishing the push a cop car stopped next to my bike, probably wondering why is there a bike on the sidewalk, when he saw me he left (probably was getting ready to write me a ticket).
