SO...we got out the gps and started haulin ass down the highway, got just about home WOT, then: "sputter, sputter, cough, cough...dead" uh-oh, figured I'd find a smoked valve or something. I was freaking out. Nervous as hell. Not even some of preddy08's meth could help me now. ;)
Turned out, it was just low enough on gas that I must have sloshed back and starved the bowls. It started right back up and ran fine on reserve to go fill up. Didn't know it would happen like that.
i had that happen to me couple times....close to home base though...no biggy
funny thing was I have been makin fun of my friend who did that with his banshee. Pinned it and did a wheelie and it stalled. He was takin out spark plugs checkin compression etc. It was pretty funny. Geess paybacks are a bitch. :grin_nod:
that's what ya get with 2 stroke reliability though :grin_nod:

:clap: I have noticed that every time we ride, it seems like a test and tune session. :confused:
Nothin' like riding, being two miles out and that happen......then figure out you WERE riding on reserve.

No, I can calculate fuel burn on my E6B located on my kneeboard. Luckily I've never been close to running out of fuel.

LOL I know someone that was out at the dunes and ran out running on reserve....

I double check my fuel burn while flying. It's very important to me. Practicing emergency proceedures is the only thing that will prepare you for the real thing, and practicing them often.

I was on a small jet once, and the copilot came around asking us about our weight. We can only assume an error in fueling was made, they did not say. What got me was all the lying mofo's on the plane. Fat biotch across the said she was "150" Yeah, sure, you look like could eat me for lunch and still have room for dessert. So the guy flying with me, who weighed 120 soaking wet, goes, I'm just gonna say I weigh 1200 lbs to account for the "discrepancies" hope the plane doesn't go down on account of vanity. :rofl: Needless to say we were freaking a bit.

I have to ask your weight before planning a long flight. It's for weight and balance information. Very important. If we are heavier, then I need to know how much fuel I need to put in.

ever get slapped? :lol:
:rofl: at first I was like WTF are you saying here? Good one. I'm sure there is "fatfuck equation" for adding weight when somebody lies: (weightx2)/1.5 :rofl:

...i think. schools out, im not doin this shit anymore :lol:
??? 150 x 2 = 300 divided by 1.5 is 200. :rofl: uh-oh, are you still in school? Or were you referring to the super-duper fatfuck equation? (weightx2) x 1.5. :rofl:

I seized a 250 once miles away from camp...
Couldnt even push it..
We left it on the trail and i rode bitch with a friend and they got a buddy with a truck to go pick it up for me..
