Out of gas.

Just got in the house after pushing my bike 2.5 miles home. Went down into north Tulsa today to check out a motorcycle shop and was over-confident (read: ignorant) in the amount of gas in the tank/reserve. Apparently, the "reserve" only holds a couple of teaspoons of gas, because once it started sputtering, switching over to reserve got me only about 30 more yards down the road. My tripmeter read 191.2 when I stopped initially. It now reads 193.9.

Lesson well learned: Fill up the tank often.

85 degrees / 75% humidity/ Full sun = bad post-ride recovery.

It was going so well too.

:oops:
