Keep your good eye in the hole! Fill her up to the bream! Cut pump off get the last drop out of nozzle! Put your hand under the nozzle and replace back in pump! Close gas cap! Reset trip meter! Glance around for the last time to see how many are watching you! Act tuff as you push bike off of center stand and drive off with a big grin!
THE END !!
I pull up right next to the pump and remain seated on the bike. I'll remove my gloves and place them on my gauges. When I pump gas, I'll only really crank it for the first half of the fill or so with the nozzle stuck down pretty far in the tank. Then I throttle back the pump speed and place the nozzle just low enough in the tank so that the auto shutoff kicks in before over-filling occurs. I'll usually pump just a bit more gas and then I'll reach over and click the pump switch with my free hand. Then I can squeeze out the last few drops of remaining gas from the hose and return the nozzle to the pump — drip free.
