Todd,

Not to be insulting, but is five gallons of gas all over the garage
floor reason enough? All it would take to have this happen is for one of
the needles in your carbs to stick open. Granted, there is not a high
probability of this occurring, but all it takes is once to either stink
up or blow up the place.

Same with other bikes I have owned. If there is a good
reason, fill me in.

Thanks,
