    Rode down the Blue Ridge Parkway and got down to Pigeon Forge Monday night. No problems with gas. Then later yesterday everyone coming up from Cherokee and south in NC said most stations out of gas.
    Filled up last night in Pigeon Forge, multiple stations were out of 93 octane (I have the Harley with me) and the station we filled up at changed to Cash only to slow down sales and people filling up just to fill up using credit cards.

    Bad weekend to ride the east coast unfortunately, due to the fuel distribution problems.

    In not that we have no fuel. We just don't have adequate distribution of it due to the Colonial pipeline being hacked.

    Panhandle of Florida has been experiencing outages and lines.
    Tanker trucks are resupplying Gasoline stations overnight. Most Gas stations have fuel in the morning until around 2-3 pm.

    When riding, I carry a full 1 gallon red plastic Gas jug in one of my saddlebags as my "emergency fuel".

    Looks like the Pipeline is up and running, things should be back to normal in the next 3-5 days.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
