I pull out some cables and we jump start it. He gets ready to pull out but it dies and won't start. I asked him what he is going to do. He thinks the battery is bad. Wants to go to an auto parts store and have it tested. I say, "I'm going to Richmond. We can put the bike in the van. I'll take you to an auto parts store there. If the battery is bad, we can get a new one and you can be on your way." So, him, I and another biker start to load the bike into the van. This is a busy rest stop. You would think with all of the people walking by, someone would jump in and help. Not one did. We got it in the van, strapped down and headed for Richmond. Next post.
