Referring to myself.
So, in changing out the kickstand the other night, I damaged the sensor....I checked to see if it would still go in gear and it would with the stand up, so I thought it was good. Fast forward to today, start of our weekend trip....and the thing would not go into gear. Had to take kickstand back off, remove sensor, use jumper wire to bypass it and tape it up. Start on our way, gas light been flashing but figured I could make it to the gas station in neighboring city 15 min away. Ran out of gas at 197 miles on that tank, literally about 1 mile from the gas station, on Comer Bridge over the TN river.....15 min from home. What an idiot. At least I know the limits of miles per tank now. So we are like 2 hours behind schedule, attending a Black Label Society concert in Clarksville TN tonight, but had some stops planned on the way and planned to get some video footage through some curves. Maybe we can still fit it all in. Again, what an idiot. Lol. Fantastic start to our trip.
And here we are at Arbys, where we are about to depart from and hit the road. Off we go!
