So.....aside from the discussion about fuel tank capacity......what ELSE did we learn from that little incident ?? :poke2: :shocked: :biggrin:
1) Take cell phone along

2) Make sure I have a little cash

ummm uhhh and make sure I have enough gas to start with!!!

and...

3) Put the tool kit back in so someone else might be able to do something 'cause I sure can't

4) Read up on, get educated about the most common causes for a break down so I feel more able to take care of things myself.

5) Be aware that "nice" roads can also mean that no one other human being may be closer than a couple of miles from me ( nobody passed by the whole time!! ) .

6) When my husband puts the gas can next to my bike, it may just mean he has a hunch. O_o
