all i can think is the gas broke down into some nasty shit, got stuck in a line or something somewhere and fucked shit up. doesn't really matter though, because it runs fine now. it's crazy, but i'm very glad it worked out.

i was literally about to drop about 200 bucks on a uhaul to truck the bike to the eastern shore after a couple attempts at borrowing a truck fell through. and the dealer likely would have charged me for cleaning out the fuel system/carbs as well.
