... in the last turn ...

... of the last lap of a race ...

... and losing a podium spot because of it ...

... really, really, really, sucks.

I would have cried, too.

The bike didn't run out of gas. It just had fuel delivery issues. :D

You forgot to deliver the fuel from the gas can to your gas tank. :lol:

Hey, I've done this multiple times in one day. Not in a race, though, yet.

It's great fun finding out while you are leaned way over mid-corner.

I can personally confirm that J has (or is "hasn't" applicable here - ?) done this. :D

Som - we used to call those people ... well ... losers. :lol:

I was already getting my leg over to kick it, then I recalled, "Oh, you haven't filled the gas since two sessions ago." I opened the gas lid and sure enough, I would have run out pretty fast that next session. "Good job for remembering, 'tard rider." My new rule of thumb is to use smaller fill-ups after every session.
