My bike BROKE!!

So no crap there I was, just about to pull into the lot where I store my bike when I loose all power from the engine and it shuts off. Just before I was on even throttle and it began lurching back like it was loosing power. I came off the throttle but when I came back on the whole operation was grounded. So as I curse and swear while leaning to the shoulder I try starting it again. The engine tries to turn but just isn't taking off. Give it a little gas, try again. No dice.
START YOU BLASTED CONTRAPTION!!!!

So defeat comes over me and the first thing that comes to mind is that I won't be able to make videos until I figure out what's wrong with it. I remove my gloves, unzip my jacket and begin pushing down the street since the parking lot isn't far off. That was humiliating to be pushing that brick down the road in the bike lane while people are passing by.

I push it down the road for a few minutes and in desperation think "I'll just try it again and maybe it fixed itself" just as many desperate men have said before me when trying to fix things. So I put the kickstand down and I must have switched into automatic mode to start the bike cause I check the fuel switch down below and noticed SOMEONE HAD SWITCHED IT OFF! Can you believe that!? While I was in the convenience store someone went by and switched the fuel switch just to spite me. . . . now that I think about it maybe I turned it off when I parked and didn't switch it back on. It was just down the street from the store.

Well never you mind, Taquache is back on the road with zero problems! Videos a plenty shall be had by all.

Please leave a comment down below or send me an email about where else you would like me to ride. Whether they're scenic roads or particular trails I'm willing to go take a look and post it up. Remember to like my facebook page to get notifications of when I post up here.
