Helping Stranded Bikers Is Always A Good Move, But This One Tops All…

| As a group, we motorcycle riders need to stick together. We are “fragile”, often misunderstood and we strap on a machine between our legs that can catapult us at great speeds while sitting on its gas tank with little protection. And these machines breakdown from time to time. |
| So normally, when you see a biker who has broken down alongside the road, stop and see if you can help. It’s the thing to do. No thanks needed, just do it. |
| Three bikers from the Freehold American Legion were riding back from a Veteran’s Day event when they spotted a biker alongside a road in New Jersey whose bike had broken down. So they did the accepted thing; they stopped to offer their help. |
| Imagine their surprise when they recognized the biker who they were helping; Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen. Springsteen’s bike was dead, so he hopped behind one of the three and headed for the local watering hole to wait for a ride home. A few drinks and some talk, and he left the group. |
| Now, isn’t that cool. They went out to help a fellow biker and find out that the biker was famous and were able to run shoulders with him. |
| Did something like this ever happen to you??? |
