Was out riding with my SO and 2 of his friends. The 2 friends were on sport bikes. We were on winding back roads. Not alot of road and soft sand on the edge. I ws the second bike following a car. Two bikes and more cars following. Car stops to make a left hand turn. Bike in front of me slows down, I slow down. Start to go, letting out the clutch when the bike runs out of gas and dies. Back wheel locks up. I pull in the clutch and stop. Nothing else I could do. Couldn't reach down for the petcock without stopping. I've never had that happen. That was wierd.
