1999.
France.
On a sunday.
On a motorcycle.

If you've been there you'll know ...

The reserve light having been on for a while already, things were getting rather desperate.
Puttered around @ 80 kph (50 mph), with no accelerations at all, hunched over the fuel tank to cut down on drag.

Eventually found a manned, open fuel station and poured in well over 18L.
The tank was only supposed to hold 18L ...
