RE: Biker pump etiquette
I've always noticed that Harley riders are the nicest people on their bike riding. They'll almost always wave. But stop somewhere (ie. gas station, local bar, etc.) and most will not acknowledge you. Pretty F'n weird to me.

I'm not the most talkative person on earth, but I'll at least say "how ya doin"...your answer should be a simple"fine" though- nothing worsethan asking how someone's doing and them telling you.

RE: Biker pump etiquette
We were in some smaller town (I think it was Mena, AR) at the time so they had a Wendy's connected to some little corner store with the pumps out front. I was a little surprised myself at a Wendy's integrated with the gas station as well.
We had a group of guys on Harleys, and a Goldwing or two that really liked his BMW, and a few other Harley guys really liked it here and there on other road trips. I still prefer my Harley, and I find it funny that, despite all the gadgets he has on his motorcycle, he usually talks about a sore *** and shoulder toward the end of every trip while the biggest problem I have is a slightly sore throttle hand.
Oh, and given the smoking at the pump I filled up REAL quick.

RE: Biker pump etiquette
I ignore everyone when I'm smoking at the gas pumps, and I never wave, either.
I just hate people. That's all. Nothing personal. [sm=icon_beat.gif]
