Talking about humiliation and being from being stopped dead by the side of
the road. I was riding down the freeway on Saturday when my ambo just
quit running. I opened the reserve petcock as she started to slow down
but it didn't start again. After coasting to the side of the road it
appeared to be a spark issue. After pulling the cap and checking the
points and gaining and audience, I put a screwdriver in one plug cap and
reached up to turn the key on. When I touched the key there was some a
crunchy honey substance on it. Then I started thinking and remember the
key had not been shut off. It appears that some how a honeybee had broken
the laws of fluid dynamics and sacrificed it's self in and attempt to save
its brothers by shutting the bike off. Why do these things have to happen
with an audience? More importantly why didn't I check the obvious before
the small crowd assembled?
