Don't these bikes have a reserve, Like the carbed bikes? Hell, I'd get another 25 miles in reserve (1/2 gal.).

It's really not about having a reserve, or having a light, or just plain screwing up and forgetting to fuel up ... What is important is that another rider took time out of his day ( ride ) or some other important ( or maybe not ) function and offered to help ... Way to go "Big-O"

Good job to the OP and to the others willing to stop and lend a hand.

I came up to a stop on my bike last year and noticed a couple bikes parked across the street. I asked if they were okay and the guy said his wife's battery was dead. I live about a mile from there so I said "hold on, I'll be back in a sec."
Dropped off the bike at home, grabbed the jumper cables and hopped in the car and had them running in no time.

Felt good to help a fellow biker out.
