Some sort of computer glitch.  Happened once on my bike recently after I
got it.  Hasn't happened again in the 11k miles since.  Only thing is
that it seems more likely to happen at inopportune times--I was talking
to a coworker as we were leaving the office, and the bike stumbled and
died.  

Pretty convenient, in your case.  Your friend on the Busa probably
thought you were making up excuses, though.  :b

Laters,
Brian
