I sit and fill mine, on the jiffy stand, I stay in control of the nozzle never latching it and no trouble(knock on wood) to date.

 

Sorry, but my gnads do not need cleaned with methanol if the fill nosle malfunctions. That and if there was a fire, I want to be the first one across the parking lot, far away from the bike and pump.

 

Me too

 

You won't be first one, that would be me. lol

 

I think only NJ and OR are like that. I lived in NJ for three years (until 9 months ago) and the law there is they cannot force you to pump your own gas, but you can tell them to get away. In 3 years, they NEVER pumped my gas and only one time was a guy so obstinate about it that I drove to the station across the street and pumped my own there.

I would never EVER consider letting someone pump gas into my bike. I'd be curious to know what OR law says on the matter. I suspect it is like NJ - they are required to have someone there to pump gas, but you can refuse them.

 

I sit on my bike. Close enough to set the cap on the pump, slide the card. Right foot on the forward control so my leg doesn't get hot.

My question is, We all know you HAVE to take your helmet off or look like a dweeb, but what about the doo-rag?

 

Always off the bike.

 

I have never sat on the bike while fueling. One of my buddies always does and he makes sure to get every extra drop into the tank.

The new Harley honeycomb neck really sucks though. I never feel that it is all the way full!

 

I always sit on the bike too. Never had a problem and never really thought about it (until now!).

Helmet? What's that? Doo-rag? Ruin the look of my perfectly kept bald head????

Probably a dweeb with or without.

 

Exactly what I do, with one thing left out, we old guys probably need to pee also!!
