Here's the luckiest 'running out of gas' story I've ever heard and it is true because I was there. Riding out west a couple years ago with another couple who both ride Heritage Softails. They were getting much better mileage then I was on my Ultra what with riding two-up and pulling my Bushtec. Anyway he did not fill up at the last gas stop I made. So on down the interestate we went for many miles until he said he was low on fuel. No problem, exit coming up. So we take it and come to red light and then have to make a left-hand turn onto a major street - six-lanes wide going downhill. As we start out from the light and make our left-hand turn he comes on the cb - chit my engine just stopped, out of gas. Well he coasts down the hill, crosses three lanes of opposing traffic and makes a left-hand turn at a traffic light at the bottom of the hill (green for him, luckily) and coasts right up to the pump at the Exxon. Chit if there'd been a casino nearby we'd have headed right over 'cause his luck was running strong.
this sounds vaguely similar
