Well about an hour ago i decided to for a joy ride little did i know i had no gas! I got about a quarter mile into one of my favorite trails when my bike started to cut out so i turned around and took off towards home i didnt get very far i stopped at the bottom of the big ace hill and got off and started to push! You tend to appreciate your bike alot more after you push it!

I had a Honda 250X that died on me so I had to push it home uphll on blacktop with MX boots on.  The little metal toe clips on the boots kept slipping.  I had to push it  maybe a thousand yards but it felt like miles!

I've never had to push far...thankfully.  Although, I have had to steal gas out of my brothers' tanks before when we were VERY far from camp...haha
