Before i got into riding i noticed that whenever i was at gas stations in a cage i rarely saw bike riders filling up. I figured that maybe it's because riders like to fill up jerry cans and do it at home.
So now that i have a bike of my own, i'm wondering, what do you do? obviously if you are going on a long distance trip you are filling up at stations, but if you live in the city and ride around only casually do you ever just fill up a jerry can to keep at home to fill up?
That leads to my other question. If you fill up at stations and your gas cap is on top of your tank do you ever get splash over on your tank?, and if so how harmful is it to the paint/coating? I've only been riding a short time now and so far i've been too wussy to fill up at a station and just been keeping a 10 gal jerry can at home and doing it there but i guess i gotta learn to do it at the station sometime..
ok.. make fun now..
