Not a bike story but similar, it was my street rod, the rear axle bearing went out and the grease seal melted sending hot grease into the dragging brake. That caught fire. I  put it out a couple times while driving it toward a repair shop. Some guys saw us and stopped, they were getting ready to leave for the nationals where we were going. Briefly, they got a trailer towed us to their meeting place the entire club helped us fix the car, found a good axle in a junk car in the timber on the farm and gave us brake parts and seal from a resto project they had going on. We went along with their group and they directed us to our motel along the way when we got to Columbus.
I wrote an article about it which was published in the NSRA magazine.

Hi Switchum,

I just got a reply from Raymond... the bike he lent me was a Honda 1990 PC800 Silver Wing (800cc), bigger displacement than I thought. It was great on the Interstate.
