I've searched and found a reference to Ryan Hughes pushing his bike to the finish at Steel City.

Anyone have a link to a video of a racer having to do this? I need a clip for a sermon illustration.

Thanks.

Thanks Crusty.

I found a video of 2011 AMA Motocross Round 2 Freestone - 450 where Dungey runs out of gas on the last lap, but he doesn't push the bike across the finish line.

Also Alessi pushes his bike after Langston crashes into him right before the finish at 2005 Hangtown 125 National, but it's not due to running out of gas.

Any others?

Ryan Freaking Hughes. What a badass. Anytime I have to dig deep I ask myself what would Ryan Hughes do? Oh yeah he'd push his bike uphill to finish his race. Makes my task at hand feel a little easier. Laughing Laughing

I can't really remember if he pushed his bike over the line or what he did after the crash but Tonkov crashed right in front of the finish lines a few years ago. I believe that would have been his first podium in the GPs

Laurence Spence at Farleigh Castle 500 GP in about 1983, KX500 siezed its gearbox coming out of the final turn and thousands of fans and his team manager standing on the last 100 meters or so roared him to the chequered flag, it was heroic after a 45 min moto, I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere.

Here's what I ended up with. Thanks for the help. I didn't want to use a clip of a mechanical breakdown but someone specifically running out of gas.
