I had a minor motorcycle accident today. I ride an older Harley Davidson. I took it out today. I was just getting going at a light I shifted into second gear and as I pulled the clutch out the back wheel locked up. I?ve never experienced anything like that before. I laid the bike down and it threw me straight into the center of the intersection. And I was greeted with nonstop honking and yelling as angry drivers look at me like I intended to launch myself into traffic. A gentleman with a large pickup thankfully pulled up beside me and blocked traffic while I picked up my bike and helped me wrestle it to the curb. He was just as surprised as I was that these drivers were in such a hurry they wouldn?t stop honking and even attempting to roll right on through and over broken parts of my bike as they yelled out their windows because of the minor inconvenience of being delayed a few seconds.

I?m grateful for the bystander who helped me. So many people have no patience, compassion or kindness for their fellow human beings anymore. It really makes me sad for the human race.
