What does it feel to stand on the hwy shoulder?

I called Ashraf to check on him today. I don't have much to do, so he told to join him on the never ending fun of fixing other's cars. He also told me to bring the Hikaru, my bike, for more fun.

I turn on the bike and it runs fine. So, I thought, "as long as I'm moving the bike should stay running." Little I knew that I-35 is PACKED. I get on the hwy, and little before I-35 crosses MLK, the bike just died. As sad as it sounds, it was hilarious. I pushed the bike with me feet while setting on it on the HIGWAY. A GOOD cop driving one of those new Dodge Chargers was on the lane next to me, so he turned on his siren and blocked two lanes to let me cross to the shoulder. He pulled over in front of me. I thought, "Shit, now he is giving me some ticket." First thing I said to him, "My license?" Surprisingly, he shock his head in disagreement with a smile and said, " nah, I just wanna make sure that you have a phone to call for help." I assured him that I am all right. So he said "take care" and left! This cop so far is the nicest cop that has ever pulled me over! and boy, I have been pulled over quite a bit!

I called the bike shop to send me a towing truck. Ashraf called and wanted to come with his truck, but I said no. Yes, that no cost me 50$ extra, but I don't like depending on Ashraf everytime my bike/car breaks down. Besides, he has a life, has work, and the towing truck is his living. I can't be taking away from his time like that all the time. Anyways, I was under MLK. So I sat on the side of the hwy waiting. It was fun. Aside from EVERYONE staring at me when passing, drivers who illegally using the shoulder lane were getting mad at me cuz my bike is not letting them go thru. 45 mins later the towing truck came. 15 mins afterward I was at home.
