I am from Oklahoma but my wife is from Jersey so we go there 1-2 times a year. Jersey has some of the cheapest gas in the country because they have the lowest gas sales tax. I don't care who pumps it under those conditions.

I use oil, don't matter the brand or weight.
Always test tire pressure by kicking them.
Like riding the center of lane, especially when raining.
Spark plug gap doesn't make any difference at all.
Flip flops are what true bikers wear.
Jiffy stands are for weenies. I just lay mine on its side.
Never could understand running anything except the cheapest low grade gas. HD premium suggestion is a joke.
Don't need no stinking glasses, goggles or shield. My eyes are bulletproof.
Anything other than a touring bike is a made for girls.

Oregon won't let you pump either. They are the only two states. Oregon makes exception for motorcycles, but attendant has to start pump and hand you the nozzle. They're also suppose to take the nozzle from you and replace it when you're done refueling. I usually just replace the nozzle myself because I'm such a badass biker ( and the attendant is usually busy gassing up a car).

ALLWAYS while standing keeping the bike upright between my legs and it's easy with a lowered softail. Can do the pay at the pump thing, both gas caps go on top of the pump and they get filled nice and even and I can lean right over the tanks to see how full they are. Getting off just sounds weird

I don't think i've ever gotten off a bike to put gas in it. If you pay attention, there's no problem. If you're filling to the top, do it after you hit the head or whatever otherwise you'll come out of the station and you'll have gas under the bike from the overflow. BTW, states that have attendants did that originally to give kids jobs.
