The day after the Lois & Austin event at Adventure Motorsports, I set out on a planned 5 day solo expedition to BC.

Turns out I must’ve had the fuel switch set to ON and not RESERVE…not sure when I did that though.

1. Whiny original poster posts drivel

2. Predictable and appropriate mocking ensues

3. Thread closed to protect their delicate feelings

In at least one case, an infraction resulted. WTF? This micromanagement is making the forum much...
