Some Bikers are Just Good Guys

This guy took the time to rescue a calf stuck in a canal.
Motorcyclist Johan Gray has become a viral sensation for this video showing him rescuing a calf from a canal in South Africa. Gray was wearing a helmet cam while qualifying for an upcoming endurance race known as the Amageza Run.

Great stuff. I'd hope everyone would make the same effort. I'd like to think I would have done the same thing.

I don't carry a tow strap now but I think I'll get one!

This is just plain cool. I used a strap like this once to help pull a calf having trouble being born but never to rescue one!

This is sick and twisted and IMO uncalled for. The hero in this story risked his skin to save a life and deserves our praise. Why would you cast shadows and depravity on goodness and kindness? Did you really mean to bring this fetish to the forum. What opened the door for you to want to share this perversion?
