So on my way home from work tonight I was playing a "spirited" game tag with a guy on a late model CBR. After he exited, I was cruising home and my motor lost all power!
I have been doing alot of carb work lately in addition to the new exhaust and Unipod installations - so I had a moment of panick.
As I was coasting to a stop on one of the main arteries that lead into NYC I had my ears tuned to the motor - you know you've done it - trying to listen for parts falling off or gears grinding...
When I coasted to a stop I planted my feet and turned to see how far I'ld have to schlep this thing to safety - to far.
After stopping and looking over the bike for obvious issues, I realized that I had run out of fuel!
Der.
Been in a cage to much lately and forgot about the short range of the Hawk.
Anyway, turned to reserve and fired up after a few minutes of trying.
"Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
