Rodney you plonker

Thats me... Guess who ran out of fuel tonight

Stopped in 3 stations and each didn't have unleaded. Last 5 miles, theres one more in Dartford.

Halfway there I could feel the bike wasn't right. Traffic stopped, bikes started to cut so fed off to the hard shoulder.

No joy, started to get off and walk, i've got a severly strained ankle at the mo, but after 15m or so, some guys in a van pull over.

We lifted the bike into the back and i sat it on the stand and held it. They took me to the petrol station. Awesome.

Not all white van men are nasty. Offered them fags and booze from the shop and they said not to bother Well happy.

Moral, stick super in it if you need fuel

Ooooo 1500 posts....

So you ran out of fuel because you were too mean to pay for the Super?

Definitely a plonker

Reserve????

no reserve as such mate, them were the good old days when you could just swivle the fuel tap round to the RES tank.

No we're not, some of us are nice y'know.

I stopped for a bike a couple of months ago was pushing the bike along, he'd run out of petrol and was pushing it to the next station which was about 2-3 miles away! Nipped down to the petrol station and got him a can of petrol amd I know how far the petrol station is cos i eneded up pushing my bike to it from virtually the same place


We've all done it at some point but yes you are a plonker!

Errr ... not quite running out of fuel ... but definitely one for the plonker award here

I forgot to put oil in my SV ... and anyone who has read some of my posts on this forum will know that it cost me £950 and having my bike off the road for 9 weeks whilst the engine got rebuilt

As if that isn't enough ... I adjusted my chain yesterday morning ... and rode off ... having forgotten to tighten the rear axle nut THANKFULLY, I remembered by the time I'd gotten round the corner at the bottom of the road

Please can I have a special badge please?

Daimo

why did'nt you just put £2-3 of super in it, in one of the 3 garages

because its 5p per litre more, i'd rather push my bike 5 miles
