Got on my bike after playing some video games again at Activision tonight and the thing was running all stupid. Every time I gave it gas it would die! I finally got it going enough that I could sort of ride it, but I had to have it all revved up constantly to keep it from dying. I pulled over a bunch of times thinking I was out of gas and needed to switch to the reserve tank but that wasn’t it. After riding and pulling over constantly on my way to the freeway it sort of stopped being all weird. As I accelerated onto the freeway it started to die again so I had to punch it hard to keep it going! As I’m hauling down the freeway so my bike won’t die I hit a harmless dip that lifts me from my bike while simultaneously a massive wind gust hits me from the side, for a moment I was positive I was going down as my bike was leaning sideways going into a nonexistent lane next to me. A bunch of lanes were coming together at that point, so it would have probably been the worst place to go down! I pulled myself back down onto the bike and got tight to it and took the very next exist. The bike was still trying to die and I was just trying to get somewhere out of the way. I got to a gas station and went to pop the gas cap off when I remembered it’s all corroded and almost impossible to open. After 10 min and almost breaking my key off in it several times I got the cap off. I had a hunch that once again another crappy gas company sold me watered down gas and I was right. Pisses me off so bad when this happens cause I always forget what’s happening, and 99% of the time it’s some greedy gas company trying to squeeze money out of someone. Do they realize that when they do this, motorcycle riders could actually die? I can’t remember what stupid gas station it was either, so I’ll probably end up going to it again! Nice to know the closest call I’ve had on my bike possibly ever was a direct result to an oil company not selling pure gasoline in their pumps. Thank you greed. My motorcycle is back to normal since I added gas but I need to fix the gas cap before I break a key off in it lol.

Having a blast playing this new game that won’t be out for a while. Wish I could go on about it but they made me sign my life away. In fact the last couple times I was there they had security scanning me with the wand thing and everything. Video games are top secret I guess!
