smurfette

Hello, Everyone!
I have a 2010 RT-AC SE-5, whose name is Smurfette that up until now has been relatively issue free. Aside from a couple of first-model year issues, like a couple of oil leaks, throttle body replacement, and a few recalls (none engine related), this has never happened before. We were on a slow paced ride (never got out of first gear for approximately 15 miles), very little braking since it was fully police escorted, and she stalled out when we were pulling in to park. It would not re-start, and when it did, it would not keep running without my hand on the throttle. As there was nothing I could do at the time, I took the key out, and walked away to participate in the blessing ceremony. Approximately 30 minutes later, I walked back to my bike, restarted it, and no problems! Seeing as we were close to my dealership where I bought Smurfette, hubby went in front of me, and a friend followed me, and we headed straight for the dealership. The only code I saw was a check engine light that came on for about two minutes after I left my parking spot, and it went out after driving a short way. It shifted normally, and I didn't see the dreaded "limp mode" light. I regularly check the oil level,battery connections (original battery), and there was plenty of fuel. Anyone have any ideas what (or why it) happened? Hoping it's something simple, will know in a day or two. Maybe Ms. Nanny was :cus: after being in the same gear for that far?
