So I was sitting there cranking away trying to get restarted when one of the riders in back yelled "Is your gas valve on". The bike will only run a minute or so with the valve closed and your supposed to turn it on before starting.

PGR?
Reminds me of two weeks ago....
I was riding with my friend on his Honda and the gel seat straps had slipped, so my seat was hanging over. I motioned to him to pull over and he parked, put the kickstand down, got off and I and the bike went over. Luckily, my ankle kept the bike from hitting the curb. Also luckily, my boots and chaps kept my ankle from getting hurt. "Gee, I hate when that happens", he said. "Did my chrome get scratched?"
"No, my ankle saved that from happening." We righted it, only spilled some gas, fixed the seat and rode on. I felt really bad for days I'd tipped the bike and he felt bad for days that I could have gotten hurt.
