HAHA thats the only time it's acceptable

 

Handle lock and bikes don't mix at all. Never....

 

Bingo.

All I ever look at when putting gas in the bike is the nozzle and fuel flow. When I decide it's full, I stop. Even if the counter is at $X.96, it stays that way.

 

WHAT...lock the handle and walk away..NNOOO,I would never ever do that..I dont even let the rubber or anything touch my bike...WOW

 

I would never use the leverlock on filling a bike .

I did have a screwed up leverlock engage and stick will filling just a couple yrs back,

I quickly shut off the pump.

Now when I fill the bike I always slip a finger on the lock to prevent any engagements.

 

Was filling up last fall, holding the nozzel tip just below the tank neck, face close to gas hole looking in when a spider came crawling up from the front of the tank. I tried to blow it off and when I did the nozzel came up a little. Sprayed gas in my face, all over the seat, and down onto the hot exhaust. Thought I was a gonner there for a split second. I was careful before and now I'm extra careful.

 

I've not had a massive overfill yet, but I've had the vapor return drizzle gas on my tank and other annoying things, so now I keep an eye going between the tank and the pump and I put in about what I think it needs before slowing the flow and topping the tank off.

 

The vapor returns are a PITA. That's all we have close to me. It's great when I get out where they have regular pump handles.

 

Well thats one thing nice about a peanut tank. Theres no need to lock it cause it don't take long to fill. lol

 

Dumbazz!!!!
