Thanks for these ideas.

After the first couple of occurrences, the nike started right back up after letting her come to a full stop. The first thing I did was get gas and I do think there was a small sucking sound when I unscrewed the cap. If the vent hose were pinched, would it have started back up?

I did check for turn signals and dask lights - they were working as the bike stalled and afterwards.

It never stopped cranking - just would not start this last time.

The good news is that I had a charity ride planned for Saturday and now I won't break down!
