    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!!
    But if you're pushing it there's no offence committed, eh?

    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.
    I know... just fishing.

    Don't recall running out of gas BUT there was this one time I needed to switch to reserve. WHAT???? No turnyswitchthing - bloody mechanic didn't put it back on after it's last service. A friendly native had a pair of pliers. Whew!
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Im not really laughing, I just have a mental picture of you wheezing on the side of the road

    Why didnt you phone skunk control to bring petrol Im sure she would have done this for you yea right!

    First time run out of petrol for you I dont think so, I remember a certain Z550 running out just out of Norsewood, now you didnt push that up the hill did you.
    If you're not living on the edge you're not leaning over far enough

    Oh shut up you! I had managed to wipe that incident from my memory banks - or was is it old age that did that - no use asking you; 'old timer'
    I did ring but as I was 'supposed' to be home so she could go out I was left to stew...
