Out of gas...

This morning as I was getting ready to go to school I decided to take my motorcycle because I knew that it was going to be a nice day. I knew that I was low on gas because my odometer was a 115 and thats about the time that I need fill up so I checked the gas tank and saw that it was pretty low but I thought that I shouldn't have a problem getting to school, and I would fill up after school. Well all was going well. I was happy in my little world singing songs to myself on the freeway. Just at the peak of my contentment thats when it hit... A sudden loss of power and immediately I knew what that meant (from a previous experience that I had). I quickly got over to the shoulder and slowly came to a stop. After many failed attempts to revive my starving motorcycle I was forced to push my bike the 1/2 mile to the next exit. Between the half and 3/4 mark to the exit some one stopped to offer a ride to the gas station but since I was so close I opted to just push, but I thanked him for the offer and he went on his way. Well to make a short story shorter the end result was a very tired Geoff. But it wasn't all bad, I did learn pretty much when my bike is out of gas, and I was a little cold on the ride. As well, when I got to school they did have a free BBQ. So it wasn't all bad, besides I needed the exercise.
