Three bikers and one truck did stop to see if I was OK. I was fucked by the time the last one stopped.

Sorry mate, but I did it twice in two days on the new bucket. Luckily it was the small bike for me too!
Did you push it with your helmet on? I did, I had nowhere else to put my lid. It's gets pretty hot in all that gear!
See ya on the weekend hopefully (weather looks crap)

Obey the hosebeast
Pay more attention Dave, your new bike has a helmet lock on the handlebar

I only ever run out of petrol once, about 19 years ago, and had to push it up a few hills to a petrol station. I learnt my lesson that day and it hasn't happened since.

Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

First time I've ever run out. Won't happen again.
Yeah, right

You never know. You might be a quick(ish) learner.
After the first time I had to push the bike a ways, I made a firm vow never to do it again.
And I didn't.
At least, not till the next time it happened.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
Immature and proud of it.
Lucky it wasn't a Harley.
I've quit the gym since I've been pushing those suckers around.

What are you trying to say, Lou? Are Harleys hard to push or summat?
... and that's what I think.

I've no story to share with regards to running out of petrol because I've never run out petrol aka former 'Venturer' Boy Scout.
Routinely never allow my bike (and car) to drop below 1/2 tank unless we're on a long distance trip. Good habit to have.
Takes a month of daily commuting to reach fillup point. Then I can play for another month "shall I tank today?" before hitting reserve. In theory reserve gives an additional half month but I've never gotten low enough to actually flick the switch.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

Hard luck, Andrew. I'm proud to say I haven't even had the 636 on reserve, let alone pushed it anywhere. Ain't my idea of fun. But the FZR, did it a couple times.
I'd like to point out that if you happen to run out of gas at about the Ngauranga interchange, it's a real long way to BP Horokiwi, and it ain't that flat. And it's a REAL REAL REAL long way when you have no rego, no plate, and the wrong licence to ride that bike you're pushing too!!

Unfortunately for me, this would mean filling up every 45min (when riding on the open road)
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Well I have run out of gas and it wasnt good to have it happen..
My bike was heavy to push.... lucky for me a dude in a ute (fellow biker) stopped and put in a few drops in the tank that would get me to the garage up the road.
Immature and proud of it.
If all you guys are expecting some story on Harley unreliability, huddle closer...........whisper whisper.
The truth is, we have to push them in the showroom. Starting them covers the clothes in carbon crap.
Ultras are the best, 340 kg's and when they get past 5 degrees of lean they take you with them.
