why would you ever lock the handle putting gas in a bike?? ...and I doubt any gas station would be liable if your bike goes up in flames due to spilled gas that you put in.... just saying....
You did a no no putting the nozzle in and locking it. Been riding 40+ yrs never locked the nozzle. Run it slow and watch it. You ain't in that much of a hurry.
yea I couldn't imagine locking the lever while filling the bike and not watching the tank fill. I stay stradled over my bike and watching the fuel level come up as I fill it. I will use the lock when I'm pumping my truck full though.
where have you been? Nobody in this society is responsible for anything. It's always somebody else's fault!!

I filled up tonight at a Valero. I never "lock" the handle beyond the first latch on the handle...
Moral of the story, NEVER EVER take your eyes off the gas while it's pumping!
