Well that was exciting

Ah yesterday, long day at work but the upside it was beautiful out so that means some quality time with my scooter.

Or so I thought. I took off down the street got onto the main drag, was enjoying the hell out of myself when suddenly the scoot just powered down, I could not get the throttle to give me gas. And yes before you ask I have/had 3/4 a tank. Sigh

I coasted to a stop on a busy stretch of road during the end of rush hour. This wonderful cage driver behind me was so close she could have pinched my tush if she was so inclined. I'm doing the universal sign of go around go around, you know the look, arms flailing, looking back over my shoulder, pointing at the scoot and the making the go around movement again.

It took the tush pincher a good minute before she realized oh she's dead in the water and she went around, leaving the line of people behind her to do the same, meaning come up real close behind me, give me the evil eye, realize oh she's stuck and then move on.

Finally there was a break in traffic and I pushed the Typhoon across two lanes and onto a shoulder. /phew

Now I'm standing there checking the gas gauge, yep 3/4 full. Tires are good, engine cut off switch is in the off position. hrm I'm perplexed.

Suddenly a nice man *Hi Dan* runs across 4 lanes of busy road and decides to stay with me until I either figure it out, the tow truck comes or I fall madly in love with him and we ride off on the Typhoon into the sunset.

I chose option number 2. My SO shows up sans tools.. *Really? Why...argh and he goes through the litany of did you hit the engine cut off switch (silly woman) grrr NO... did you run out of gas (silly woman) GRR NO etc. Dan goes oh I already asked her that. Holy crap people just because I have boobs doesn't make me a boob. Dan gets a pass because he was my knight in shining armor. My SO not so much.

After a bit Dan left and a cop shows up who proceeds to ask me the same series of questions. OMG MEN.
Tow truck appears my little typhoon is loaded onto this HUGE truck and off we go to the dealership where hopefully they will be able to fix what ails baby.

Big shout out to my friend and mechanic Joel please fix baby pretty please.
Big thank you to Dan who stayed with me until my SO arrived.
Big smooch to my SO who was annoyed for me since baby only has 100miles on her and his concern shows how much he loves me.
Thanks to the officer who stuck around so he could see the little Typh on the big truck.

Here's hoping everything works out OK. I hate when my babies are sick.
