SEE IT: Bikers help stranded Bruce Springsteen on Veterans Day
A group of New Jersey bikers came across an unexpected sight while on a Veterans Day ride – Bruce Springsteen stranded on the side of the road.
"Bikers gotta stick together," Dan Barkalow, a motorcyclist with the Freehold American Legion group, told The Associated Press. "I stopped to see if he needed help, and it was Bruce."
The group attempted – without success – to fix Springsteen's broken-down motorcycle. After throwing in the towel, Springsteen rode with another American Legion motorcyclist, Ryan Bailey, to a nearby bar and hung out with the men.
"We sat there and shot the breeze for a half-hour, 45 minutes till his ride showed up," Barkalow told the AP. "Nice guy, real down to earth."
The Freehold American Legion shared the story on its Facebook page, where it has been shared hundreds of times.
