Thanks guys, the bike is up and running smoothly now. So to answer my own question, "is it me or my bike?" Well it was all me. I am embarrassed to say the petcock was not all the way in the correct position. So you all were right, it was a fuel issue, but it was a self made fuel issue. It was all my fault, and inexperience I wish they would have gone over more of this type of stuff in my MSF class, since it would have been a big help. Now I just need to read up on everything I can find about the ins and outs of my bike in order to try to avoid these self made problems.

This turned into a good thread. Glad it was just that and not something worse. Good reminder to check the petcock to be sure it's in the right place...especially if you accidentally leave it on Res and run clear out of gas like I did on Friday and then had to paddle foot it 1/4 mile to the station.
And I've been riding my Speedy for 3 years and this is the first time I've done that so it's not just a noob thing to be sure.
