Lightning&Thunder

[JBLsilver01]

Got a little Thunder to go with the Lightning - its a 3/4 size, 570cc, 265 lb, 25hp-37tq, fully automatic, custom motorcycle that fits perfectly in the bed.

Its louder than a Harley and can get up to speed just as quick if not faster than one.

On the way up to Oklahoma to get it, we had to take a HUGE detour because they closed the highway b/c of a "hazardous truck spill".....so we follow everyone down a long narrow country road and turn off onto another dirt road that said "Poolville" and asked a truck driver how far Poolville was from the road. He said "about 3 mile down the road" - at this point we were on Empty and the "low fuel" light had come on some time before.

So about 10 miles down the road we are not at a town with a gas station, but out in the middle of nowhere on a dirt/rock road. The gas needle is below empty, and we know we are going to run out.........then we finally hit the road that everyone else is on going back to the highway...but its still a long while till the next station and we were just waiting for it to die........

Then to our total releif we see a station -

and filled up our 25 gallon tank with 24.07 gallons
