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.

Can't agree more with the sentiment of the crowd. Why would you ever trust the gas pump when filling your 5 gallon tank ?

where have you been? Nobody in this society is responsible for anything. It's always somebody else's fault!!

Moral of the story, NEVER EVER take your eyes off the gas while it's pumping!
I think you missed the real moral or the story!
