I get about 2 miles from a gas station, idle shoots sky high and I panicked and lowered my idle at a light. I get another about 100 yards from there and it just dies out, no sputter. I try to get it started again, I start talking to my bike saying I'll never complain about a high idle again, just start. Drain my battery, go over to trying to bump it in a tiny parking lot. Then I check my tank. Bone dry. So I called my buddy who was taking his test that day as well (same session as me). Cops show up in the lot I was sitting in, and I explain what happened to them. They radio back to dispatch to call a tow truck. Just as they finish, my buddy pulls in. Then the cops got to watch me bump my bike in a parking lot filled with gravel. I passed my test though.
