You have GOT to be freakin' kidding me!

I was riding today when the bike seemed to run out of gas. I only had 120 miles on the trip meter so I should have had a ways to go before filling up. I stopped to check the fuel filter,again,and it was dry.Dang.Outta gas? I shook the bike and could tell it had plenty of gas in it yet.I looked in the tank and the level was high enough that it was clearly visible. Whatever.Must be something in there blocking the inlet for the fuel line. I couldn't imagine what it could be though. I flushed the tank thoroughly before putting the bike together and have had no problems other than a little rust now and then. I got home and decided to just pull the tank and flush it again,since they are impossible to see down in. Guess what came out. This lil guy went SPLAT on the toe of my shoe. Gross. Like I said,you have GOT to be kidding me! It seems that the strangest things always happen to me. He looks a lil bloated,huh?

Nope,buddy. Not a fish. A mouse. I think it musta crawled in there when it had the tank open painting it recently. I have been using fuel fragrance left over from the race car. My gas smells like pina colada. It musta lured him in there. LOL i bet he was disappointed
