“2003 Buell blast p3, only 1500 miles on motorcycle, had full tank of gas. Engine sputtered at died on a highway travelling at 55mph. Very dangerous. Was able to pull over to shoulder. Found rubber coupler split in half between the carburetor and the intake manifold. Was almost killed because of this. Used duct tape to tape the coupler back together. Bike started right up after duct taping the coupler, did this just to get the bike home.”
