One last thing, do ANYTHING to keep from being towed.

Some get towed, have damage and the tow was not necessary.

Fix it, explore options, find bypass, limp along

Don't be too quick to give up finding solutions.

Coffee helps, I mean, you're home so why not make a pot and relax for one half hour?  Without thinking about your "problem."

A couple of weeks ago my bike stopped running on the way to the cardiologist for a run on the treadmill.  I rolled into the NAPA store parking lot, across the street from the Marathon gas station and tried to call for a ride.

45 Minutes later after I had given up on making my appointment, I realized "I'm parked in front of a NAPA store."  So I purchased a spool of wire and a wire stripping tool.  Now in my defense the trip meter showed 79 miles and I normally refill the tank at 100 miles, 130 miles being the coast to the side of the road range.
I wired the fuel pump directly to the battery and it rattled merrily away.
I pushed the bike across the street and filled the tank, the bubbles of air giving evidence that the day tank below the main tank was empty.
I started the bike and made the last run of the day.  I removed the jumper wires and rode home.
