On the M4, heading home from work late last night I started to notice the odd misfire.
After another few hiccups the penny dropped... I'd lost track of the mileage and run it dry again. :rolleyes
Luckily it was just before Junction 4 so i was able to get off the motorway onto… the M4. Weird, I'd never noticed the spur down to Heathrow has the same designation.
It wheezed to a halt on the hard shoulder. By shaking the bike back and forth whilst switching the ignition on and off I persuaded some dregs into the carbs and was able to splutter a couple more miles to a 24hr filling station in Longford.
266 miles from that tankful, 20.5 litres to refill to the brim.
Suppose I ought to make another attempt to fix the low fuel warning light.
