My first thought is bad fuel, only because you rode there fine, filled up then it died. The 8 minutes you rode is just enough time to drain the good fuel from your fuel line and carbs.

It could have locked the rear for any number of reasons, one being that the carb was still dumping some fuel in the motor after it died.

Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks! When I get it home, I will definitely get it on the charger. Unfortunately the poor girl gets to spend her second night in the back lot of a church.... in the pouring rain. Work all day and noone to help with a truck leaves me with no option. Tomorrow morning i will have my brother slowly tow me home with a tow line.
