    Why not to leave your bike running while filling up

    Lucky there were people there to save his arse...



    Apparently he had the filler on the autolock mode, obviously this didn't shut off.

    Putting the fuel in the tank would have been better than spraying it on the hot motor and exhaust, but guess petrol is as cheap as over there any way

    Got told by Mr Grumpy at a BP servo today "Next time, don't sit on your bike when you refuel. There's signs out there saying not to". Thought he would have been more concerned about me not taking my helmet off in the shop so I was somewhat taken aback. Wavered on the point of thanking him for his concern "but it's not illegal so I'll carry on that way" but let it pass. Just.

    Their reason for that is they consider it easy for you to lose your balance or slip on diesel on the forecourt. I always get off my bike. Refuse to take my helmet off, I just point at the lack of left arm and get the sympathy vote ha.

    I always stay on the bike and no-one has ever moaned. I want the bike horizontal so I can brim the tank.
    I always put the kickstand out though so that if something went tits up, I could jump straight off the bike and not drop it.
