Now THAT is delegating. Good show.

Very smooth. Last time I ran out it was in the fast lane of a dual carrage way with no hard shoulder in the dark not so cool, plus I had to push it up a hill to get it off the road. A ZZR with full load of clobber is a heavy beast.

Last time I ran out was a country lane, couple of miles from work.

Sent the boss out for gasoline, speaker cable and wire strippers

(Speaker cable and wire strippers inhabbit the stationary cupboard so no biggy there)

Last time I ran out was about 20 feet from a petrol station. Even managed to pull the clutch in and coast to the forecourt. There's stylish.

Well................the last time I ran out was just coming off the slip road at juntion 3 of the M3. Then a kind biker riding a Thundercat stopped and gave me a lift to Sainsburys to fill up a jerry can and took me back. What a guy!

I've done that in an 8 ton truck. Unfortunately the pump was on the wrong side so still had to buy a can, then fill the can, then pay for the fuel, then put the fuel in the truck, then prime the whole fuel system, then start, drive round and refill the tank. So maybe not quite as stylish. But at least I didn't have to push 8 tons of truck to the garage up a hill.

You're right - that's not at all stylish....
