Took the Enfield out to pick up my Grandson Petrolhead. Pulled away went round the roundabout, and someone decided he would not wait for me, and pulled straight out in front of me. I missed him and did not retaliate, as I was in a good mood.
Got about half way back to my grandsons house and the bike backfired and stopped. OK i thought it must be out of petrol, so switched to reserve. After awhile got it started, and as I was putting my jacket and helmet back on, it stopped again. Could not get it to start again. Called the rescue service and was told it could be up to 3 hours wait. My Daughter passed by, and bought us some water. Tried again and found it would run but only with the choke on. Now this bike does not like choke when warm.
Yes you guessed it, I was totally out of fuel. What I thought was on was reserve. Anyway my Daughter went and got me a gallon of fuel, and all was OK again. Thats twice I have done that, but the last time was 50 years ago.
Still we all live but some of us never learn.
