Caution when re-fueling, diesel on the deck.
#1
Pulled into my local gas station which recently installed diesel at several of the pumps. I used one of those pumps today and won't use a pump again if equipped with diesel. When a person spills diesel on the ground it does not evaporate like gasoline does. It just lies there and makes an oily - slippery mess on the ground.

So doing my straddling-the-bike fill up routine, I was surprised when I put my left foot down to balance the bike and my left foot slipped out from under like I was wearing roller blades. Luckily I put down the kick stand before I do anything, and that saved the day. Had it been my right foot, I would have landed on the gas pump.

Just a heads up.
