I had to take my eldest son (Josh 12) to a fotball match last Sunday. The game was in a town 20 miles away from where I live. My reserve light had come on two days previously. No worries I had only done 12 miles.
We were in a bit of a rush and Josh didn't want to be late. I thought that I would fill up after the game on the return journey.
No I wouldn't, I ran out of petrol with only 31.2 miles showing on the trip counter. I wasn't exceeding the speed limit and I don't ride hard with passengers. I had a complete brain fart and didn't take into account the extra weight of Josh, or my panniers filled with water and medical kit.
I had to push my bike 1/4 mile to a petrol station in full gear and thermals. I was rather toastie lol. To top it off Josh's side got beaten 3-0.
