Wait, you pump gas
while
you're sitting on your bike? Not saying that's wrong or anything...it just never occurred to me that one would do that. Interesting.
All the time

Huh. Guess I never thought of that, makes sense though.

Doesn't apply to you, but a buddy of mine has an HD softtail who's two non-locking gas caps would rattle off as he rode.
He lost a couple that way.

I've seen several non locking caps on Ducs...
go south while riding.

I usually sit on the bike to pump gas.

Me too. It's the only way to get as much into the tank as possible.

I don't get off the bike at all at the gas station, there's no need to. Pay at the pump, pump gas, leave. While in Oregon they even hand you the pump and take your money or put your card in for you. (Unless you're fast like me, then they don't even get to do that.) I pump my own all the time in Washington and don't need help just b/c I am on the other side of the border.
Sometimes if they are slow I even pump gas in the cage in Oregon, but they don't like that so much. Ehh, I say if you are going to have a stupid law like that (you can't pump your own gas in Oregon, except on a moto) than they had better not make me wait around for it if I can do it faster.

PS: nothing in this thread should actually be construed as encouraging or even admitting an actual committing of a crime, and I take no responsibility for whatever the heck you do in your own life. Oh and don't even bother sueing me 'cause there isn't anything to win, except the Duc, and that just ins't gonna happen . . .

switch ignition instead of key ignition is pretty common - but I think the M-Unit allows the fob proximity, like new cars.

I had all the concerns above but decided it's on my list anyway. My bike parks in the home garage or the work garage, or I'm nearby. Figure someone dick enough to do that is going to do something anyway.
I torn between the oberon and the SSR versions..
