[ next county ] to have some drinks. always bad to drink and ride a bike but there I was and drink i did.
country bar closed and we decided to go to the " top of the hill" liqueur store and they followed me in their car. as i was almost to the top of the hill the CB350 started sputtering and was already on reserve so i knew i was out and was almost over the hill where i could coast down to a gas station.
being drunk i thought it would be a good idea to jump off and push before it stopped but i must have been doing about 35 when i jumped off to push ......
Ouch! I bet that left a mark! or two!
