Hazard of filling tank while sitting on the bike

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I've always assumed that the "settling" was due to the air that is mixed with the gasoline in the filling process. Almost like a carbonated drink settles after being poured into a glass. But H*ll, what to I know?

Certainly possible. I'm sure there's some simple explanation. It's just that none of my other bikes have ever done it to this extent. When the gas is at the bottom of the filler neck on my VFR, that's where it stays. It might take one or two more quick squeezes of the handle but that's it. My other bikes have been the same. Not a problem with the CB. Just an interesting observation.
