Thumbs down ran out of gas on the garden state parkway..

so i figued i would take the bike to work and have a nice ride home and after working a 12 hr day i started riding home.
when i got on the parkway, im in a rush to get home and then all of a sudden i get no acceleration, i look down at the gauges and i try to throttle again...nothing...i ran outta gas on the parkway at 12am in the middle of irvington... smh..

at least now i know, my trip meter read 215 miles..im sure i could get more.

dumbass of the week? mE!
tip of the weeek? always check my gas!!!
