As written in Tilton (NH) Arches ride report to head of snake, Ducman...

Hi Dave,

When I got back to the accident scene (Rt 11) at East Andover's (NH) infamous Cemetary Corner our sweeper and the victim were in the swamp holding up the bike waiting for help. I pulled over, parked and stripped gear off for the work. A guy pulled up with his wife (?) and yelled if the rider was OK and after I said yes he offered to help get the bike out. I said if you'd like. He parked, I headed down the bank and (after a search for neutral) the 4 of us rolled her up the bank. The guy's name was Neil Bartz, and he wished us well on the rest of our journey.
I know you agree this is the kind of good relations you get when you don't scare the hell out of cagers.

BTW - It was a great ride. Thanks Seacoast

Thanks for posting that Steve. As lead, I was the last to know we had a rider down. As I pulled up to the scene expecting the worst, I was relieved to see the rider was fine! And as they muscled the 675 out of the swamp I realized that we were being assisted by a stranger.

As you pointed out, this was a guy who stopped his car and got muddy just to help out. Class act. No recriminations.

Apparently that corner bites a few every year. Our guy target fixated on sand, rode right into it, (the sand was well off the line...), applied too much rear brake and sort of high sided off. The bike continued on its own into the marsh! Inexperience...nothing else.

Anyway, thanks to that gent for his help and you for posting up!

(BTW..tried to find his number to call and thank him...no joy!)

Interesting isn't it....

You post up a thread where a cager is involved in something negative and everyone lines up to get their licks...

something good though...

it's good to see that things have a way of working out in the end

I feel like this was karma working in return for someone's good deed

was the cager a motorcyclist?

excellent question....

I don't know but maybe Steve does...????

[MrBreese]

He didn't say anything about riding at all so my guess is no, maybe used to, knows people who do, or just a nice guy.

Dave, his phone was listed but out of service now.....?

And you say this happened near a cemetary??
Could have been an angel or some other holy being.
