Ran out of petrol



Just thought you all could do with a laugh.
For the first time in my life, I ran out of petrol, ignoring the orange
light at 178 on the tacho.  I'd done several journeys into Central London
recently which had used more petrol than I would normally for my usual
longer journeys.  I happened to run out in Horse Guards Parade, just
opposite the mounted guard.  Luckily an extremely kind and generous rider
(an actor going home from work)was behind me and stopped to give me a lift
to the nearest petrol station - Vauxhall.  I locked up the bikes panniers
and made it safe from the traffic and hopped on his bike.  On my return, the
bike was surrounded by police, trying to get into the panniers.  They were
on the point of shutting off Whitehall to traffic whilst the bike was to be
"investigated by the bomb squad"!  I got off with a warning after my begging
and grovelling.  Ann, red Sprint ST (dragon on the screen if anyone is
local).
