Gas Jockeys (Read 5 times)

911radioman Ex Member	Re: Gas Jockeys Reply #15 - 06/26/06 at 17:02:38 That's not a worry around these parts. Darned few full service gas stations left, and if I found myself at one I'd tell him to enjoy the free pay while I do his work for him. I do enough spilling of gas myself, let alone someone else doing it for me!

Take a deep breath and relax. Hurrying only gets you killed, especially on a bike. Now then - in Oregon, at least, it's LEGAL for YOU, the motorcyclist, to pump your own gas. In fact, it's expected.

I dont remember. Do you just top it off? From what I read it sounded like doing that was bad, but I cant imageine why.

I don't know of but 1 full service station around anymore and it's about 30 miles from me.
Back in the day when I was a "gas Jockey", I was taught to hand the pump to the rider. Maybe cause the guys who owned the stations were "wrenchers" and Bikers theirselves.
I did not mind handing over the hose; it gave me more time to check out the bike!

zbiker Ex Member	Re: Gas Jockeys Reply #22 - 07/01/06 at 08:42:54 whatever bike you have if you`re not stopping after fillup like you have many miles to go running will create it`s own space for gaz expansion. If you filled to the top and let it stand there in the sun, then you`re sure to have a mess. Just my 2 cents.
