.....but where you run out of gas. What a freaking great day here in sunny New Jersey. I was thinking about it last night while watching the weather, and got up early for a blast. I was enjoying myself so much that I forgot where my mileage was when I filled up yesterday. Rode out by the farms, miles away from any gas stations. Enjoying the change of temperature, the smell of fresh cut grass while wearing only a t-shirt and leather. Very liberating ride without all of that cold weather clothing. Yeah a nice day.
Headed on back, and hit the main highway. While sitting at a red light, heard that familiar sputter and then, dead. Pulled over, switched to reserve, fired back up. I looked to my left to check for traffic and saw a gas station sitting on the corner across the highway. Bike took over two gallons. Sure, I could have gone a few more miles on reserve but how much fun would that be. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket today. I know, I know, my time is gonna come......again. Had it been an hour earlier I would probably still be in the sun, but sitting on the side of the road waiting for fuel. But for today, I'm just going to enjoy my good luck.
