The Abandoned Side-Stand

 The recent kindness that I have become a suspect of is the call out or more like a shout out to the rider that has forgotten to attend to his side stand before starting his bike. For some reason every other person has had the pleasure to shout out to the unattended stand. This act comes in the purest  straight from the heart because we know not of the whereabouts of the rider nor his name but we see a normal human being in danger and unaware of the unattended stand so we bring his attention to it. Sometimes it doesn't even require voice, a simple concerned look plus the pointing of our finger to the unattended stand does the trick. And in this act the suspect request for no favour or reward in return. Because we do not hesitate or stutter when the need to help a fellow in need arises.
