Just check your insurance policy, to make sure it doesn't prohibit you from storing more than a small quantity of flammable substances on the premises.I Think i might install a 50liter fuel tank in my garage so i can top up there. I have seen them at mitre 10 with pump thingie and everything (anybody tryed them out ??)
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Slight thread hijack- the thing that cracks me up about the whole 'no using cell phones' thing is they make you switch your engine off, right? What happens when you start it again to leave? God knows how many amps of ELECTRICTY pour down a feckin great wire to the starter motor, which then whirrs into life with the brushes SPARKING away.....hmmm.
Then there's static electricity.

Have had the pump start beeping because the petrol was flowing very slowly
This allowed the tank to self burp, but now I just give it a tiny shake to encourage the burp.
Have been told not to fill when sitting astride, so it's on the side stand.
As for center stands, thought only bigger bikes had them, but it appears they're become less common.
Opps, Thanks Frosty. I'd better run some through the reverse portion of the switch or I'll find out she's somehow blocked or might rip the rubber. Right?
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
Wha.....
This is why you don't sit on your bike while filling it (I know its a cage but the same principal applies).

Fucked if I want a fire ball between my legs with lots of petrol to feed it.

Wow, all that just 'cause of a wee static spark.
My cuzzie used to handle all the baggage and freight for a certain airline at a certain small airport. He used to refuel the planes too. Your supposed to attach an earthing wire from the feuling rig to the plane- he never did it "ahh its all bullshit! I've been doing it this way for ages and haven't had any problems"

I used to fill the bike while seated so as to get to the gas station of my choice before the fuel light came on. (There is no reserve tap and the unblinking orange light induces an element of tension after a while.) Also it helped, if I was checking milage, to know the tank actually was full to the same point.
Latterly though I have fitted a Dynojet unit and one benefit is that I get 2 more ks per litre so I guess I can stop worrying.

Yeah notice that woman got out of her car then in again then out and was rubbing her hands on her wooly jumper, that would get the mean sparks going.
She seemed pretty calm though, I'd be shitting my pants!
Luckely I carry a fire extinguisher in my cage for it it ever catches on fire, not too practicle on a bike though, would be adding a bit too much weight!

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
No bike rider trusts an attendant to fill their bike (or you should'nt!)... why?
Because they may spill the fuel, it runs down the tank and on to the HOT engine... causing a fire. If you sit on your bike and spill the gas on the tank or yourself... YOU WILL BURN baby.
If you run out of gas because you had 400ml less fuel... you deserve to push it
Seated in heavenly places
So how do you gauge how full or empty your tank is Oakie? Have you run out of fuel much before?
Wow, you must have an oddly shaped tank or maybe your bikes on one heck of an angle on its stand!?
What a horrible experience, sorry, but you better watch out cos I've seen more and more of those *signs* in Service Stations that show a motorcyclist sitting on his bike filling it up with petrol with a big red X through it!!
Armature speller
Or as on the Nordie - The main tap is blocked and the reserve works fine...
Armature speller
Then just say...
But I'm only putting petrol in, not big red X's.
Oh, I thought it meant no fcuking dogs whilst filling up.

gee wizzz
The problem with never using reserve is that as ya fill ya tank you are sometimes sucking in a minute quantity of water and rust .Water is heavier than gas -water being heavier than gas itll drop to tank bottom.
reserve and main tap are simply 2 tubes sticking up into the tank.
The reserve tube is a bit shorter.
So if ya bung enough water into the tank eventually when ya turn the tap to reserve ya bike aint gonna go..
Thats especially apliccable this time of year with maybe a drop of water going in as ya open the lid from a wet ride.
So Run a full tank full on reserve to suck that water through as tiny droplets mixed with good gas

the devil made me do it !
program on discovery called "myth busters" told about cell phones and fuel stations , apparently its a myth , but then again do you beleive every thing you see on tv?
