Anyone ever run out of gas?

I just had this happen to me. But it's not what you think.

I was riding my Sym Wolf on the freeway and the empty light came on a little earlier than expected. Well I only had about 10 miles before I reached home and having had this light come on before I knew I had at least 25 miles left til I was truly out.

Well my engine sputters and dies. Luckily I was in the right lane and simply rode into the emergency lane. Tank is bone dry nothing left. And then I smelled gas.

Turns out right where the fuel line plugs into the vacuum petcock under the tank was a small crack that leaked the gas out.

I had to push the bike half a mile then up a freeway merge ramp and then a half mile more to an exit where a gas station was. Luckily the Sym Wolf in neutral is as easy to push as a bicycle. I'd have hate to have to push say a Honda Shadow 750 a mile.
