    Fuck that. They give, they get. I'm not paid to be their therapist.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    If it's any consolation it doesn't happen if you are riding a big black Triumph.....and are 6'7" and 120kg in your bike gear. Ever.

    But they're just sort of guidelines aren't they...not rules as such. What's the option though? Start another thread the same as one from months ago?

    You should be drawn and quartered.

    Damn the new age.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Yes that's right, derived from the word Etiquette. It's not a sin, it's just like picking food up with your fingers at a fancy restaurant. Not polite. Annoying

    I would never ever move away from the pump untill I have paid. With all the drive offs that happen I can just see the attendants thinking that I am running away with the petrol. Even when my partner has just filled the tank and has gone inside to pay I wont move untill I see him walking back towards the car.

    Mind you I have never had a problem with cage drivers going nuts at me, I think that they are usally still getting over the fact that I'm a chick on a bike......

    Heh, funny thing today - I pulled into my local servo and the pumps on prepay, they normally just flick them on when I roll up on my bike (no need to remove helmet or all that malarkey) ...

    This time, I'm in my cage (haven't driven it in ages so needed to move it and it had no fuel tch!)...they wave at me to come in and pre-pay and I'm thinking "wth, I'm always coming here..." get inside, do the yadda yadda and then it turns out they didn't recognise me without my bike clobber on!

    Never occurred to me! :slap: So anyway, bloody good laugh - we could see the funny side of it!

    Even when its late at night and the pre-pay window has to be used, they just let me go ahead and fill up! Good sorts they are!

    Guess, I need to wear my bike clobber when driving the cage to fill up next time! And oh yeah, remembered to check my tyre pressures... they had all dropped to around 22-26 psi Dizzam, I think I need to drive my cage more? ..... NOT!
    "I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"
