But the filler is on the high side when the bike is on the side stand. Seems like one could get more gas in that way.
As for me, I get off the bike, take off my gloves and helmet, dig out my wallet, swipe the debit card, select the grade, then lean over the bike to watch the gas level rise so I don't overfill. Then I tap the nozzle on the spout so nothing drips.Then I do a quick walk-around of the bike.
