The timing on this is nothing short of twilight zone wierd. Was going to post a rant and saw this thread first.... yes, they are stealing gas, bastages!!!!!!
Went to Costco yesterday to pick up some coffee (Mmmmmm, fresh roasted right there in the store, I digress),anyway straight to the coffee, couple minutes in line and then another minute at the grinder and I am out in under ten minutes. Throw the coffee in the saddlebag, fire the bike up and on the road home. Three blocks away bike starts cutting out, quick glance at the odo and I am 27 miles into a full tank, WTF??? Reach down and switch to reserve but she is not going to recover. Coast over to the side of the road and try to restart it a few times but nada. You gotta be kidding me. Start looking around the bike hoping I am going to find something as obvious as a shoe lace untied and guess what, I do. Fuel line is off the petcock. Unscrew the tank and there is nothing in there but an echo. Push the bike four blocks up the street to a gas station and how empty was it you say? Put 4.4 gallons in it, sweet jeebus they didn't drain it they mopped it out. You know, that coffee this morning just didn't taste like a thirty buck bag of beans. People suck.
