That could have gone better

Hell.
The motorcycle gods don't like it when you don't ride for a full month in the summer. If I had, I might have noticed what's probably a leaky hose and consequently a dry tank. Only being on the far side of my block, though, I got it back home. It does mean I can't visit ricevermicelli  in the hospital like I wanted to. At least not today- that's a 1.5 hour T experience each direction. At least if I go after work I'm most of the way there.
eta: Heaven!
I go out for a bike ride- a nice evening, I have nothing else/better to do- listening to Vivaldi and enjoying the fresh air- talked with Rollerblader Bob on the way back, also nice. Upon returning home, found that quiet_elegance  has returned with gas for my sad motorcycle and is routing out where the leak (yep, definitely a split hose) is. He's out right now in search of more non-split hose.  I think I'll recount the rest of today in a different post. :)

That's really frustrating. I'm sorry babe.

& then sometimes, the cover for your motorcycle catches on the trip odometer knob (tok) and resets it and you don't notice that the mileage is off so you run out of gas and have to push the bike to the nearest station anyway.

(The having to push hasn't happened yet, but my cover definitely catches the tok, so I'm going to be smart and only use the real odometer for knowing when to fill the tank.)

Yeah- that's a oh suck moment, although that reserve thing should work as long as one isn't dealing with leaky hoses.
