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.
Nettiquite point #18... don't ressurrect months old threads.
recently i was at bp petrol station in botany waiting for yamahar6forlife, we were heading down to kaiaua.....i pull up at the pump....
a guy in a station wagon pulled up next to me with the window down...goes hey mate would you like my business card.... i was like why?
he says i sell wheechairs for a living so thought youd like my card because if you keep riding like that your going to need a chair...
then drove off
smartarse....
shuldve taken the business card and hunted him down
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......
Gold Diggers....like hookers just smarter
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!
