Aparently, if im sitting on the bike the petrol may splash out, run down my right leg onto a hot exhaust and set me aflame... :shock:


got it in one there mate, its always been the law. and for a very good reason! its very easy to spill petrol when filling a bike up, as its not quite the same as a car where you just stick the nozzle in the hole and pull the trigger till it stops pumping automatically... would have thought it was a no-brainer :roll:

butter chicken is the diet coke of sub-continental cuisine :P try a vindaloo to see how racist you really are :lol:




as for filling up, just about every servo (and bank) will have a sign saying that you cant wear full face bike helmets, but when its the middle of winter and ive got my neck warmer all tucked into my helmet and jacket with my earplugs in, and ive got the exact change ill just walk in and dump it on the desk and walk out

never had an attendant refuse to turn the pump on because i was wearing my helmet tho

Laws for refuelling at a service station

1. Switch off engine and ignition.....(Could cause a spark which could ignite fuel vapour)

2. Turn off mobile phones and other radio devices....(Could cause a spark which could ignite fuel vapour(myth busters proved this wasn't so, but why take a chance))

3. Dismount motorcycle....(fuel spill on hot exhaust/engine parts could ignite fuel vapour)

4. No one under the age of 15 is permitted to pump fuel into vehicle....(young skin is very sensitive to the properties of fuel)

I think that is it., well at least the important ones
