Refuelling whilst still mounted

[Spearfish]

I have no choice, the cap is under the seat .

[YellowDog]

Overfilling or spilling fuel on the paintwork is a big no no for me.

I suppose that on a smaller bike it might be an option however I'd rather have it all under full control; hence the centrestand.

If the filling station management say no, then the answer and their right is to say no.

You're missing the point, Mr Barsteward. These sexually self-contained folks are moaning about being told by service station attendants to cease and desist, and wrapping this up in a whole bunch of tosh about filling their tanks to the brim.

Yawn, uh uh, its you missing the point. You are calling people "small penis" and "wankers" about refueling. Think about it. Perhaps you have nothing interesting to do?

Go get the hacksaw and file out and make something. It'll cheer you up too.

My memory is not too good these days,but I think I nearly always got off the bike.Back in the days before self serve and we could pay for fuel with the few coins in our pockets,I may have sat on the bike.With a left hand filler I usually pull the bike up straight,then put the handle back in the pump,and then cap it.No problem,unless it's a BMW with a ''twang'' sidestand....but then they always have centre stands....unless they have a homemade 2 into one.

As a matter of scientific interest, what's the longest distance you routinely travel in one trip?

Just for clarification; I "fill to the brim" more because I hate fuel-stops, rather than a sense of eeking out a maximum distance:fuel-load ratio.

But to answer your question (I assume you mean between stops, not the distance of the journey itself); 180 - 200k's.

I can't fill my bike while sitting on it, because my enormous penis gets in the way.

[BMWST?]

and if they're not they're fuckers

or 1o char liars

just when i thought you might have stopped spouting.....there you burst forth like a sewage pipe

[Elysium]

Danger of over-spill? So why do the petrol stations not give a shit about the twit who splt diesel after fuelng their 4 x 4 but go agro because a rider want to fill his tank?

In any case fueling was mounted helps keep the queues moving when you have hundreds of bikes trying to use the same station after a bike meeting....then again wont matter when you go to pay and some idiot wants a latte, cuppichino and that other assorted rubbish they have at those BP cafes.

I have an enormous one too ... but I call it a "tank bag" just like everybody else ...

[Ronin]

What if it were someone else calling you a wanker for something you did?

Who gives a fuck what anyone else does. It doesn't affect you. Or me. Go and do whatever you choose.

Steve

Would it make it better if he said "In my opinion"?

[Ronin]

I'll make my own judgements as to risk. I don't need some minimum-wage fuckwit telling me what to do. If they were smarter than me, they wouldn't be working there at 30 years of age.

How many people have been incinerated directly due to sitting on their bike while filling it with petrol from a petrol station nozzle? I'll wager ye that it's fuck all. I like that convenience:risk ratio.

So your comfortable with them coming into your place of work and doing something you deem to be dangerous?

Really?
What is wrong with:
Close Cap
Hang up Nozzle
PUSH Bike out of the way
Walk inside and pay.

Vs
Close Cap
Hang up Nozzle
Waddle, while pushing crutch into tank, clear of pump
Put down side stand
Dismount bike
Walk inside and pay....


Oh, yup I see.... All clear now, carry on.

Mate of mine overfilled his Ninja 250 and it spluttered to a stop abouit 3 ks later. Something about an overfull tank blocking the breather hose causing back pressure to stop feeding the carbs or some such.

Gently resting my bike on its sidestand can leave it very upright (due to the new slightly saggy GSXR shock), hence can pack more in.

I usually leave my penis in my pants though when refuelling. Don't want to get confused and hang it back up instead of the pump handle.
