RE: Pump Jockeys
I believe Oregon and New Jersey are two. Not 100% sure on Jersey though and if there are others.
When In Oregon I have always pumped my own gas on the bike. Do not know why, Cant even think about it in the car.

RE: Pump Jockeys
Oregon for sure... riders can pump their own however. Funny thing is the jokey will usually take the nozzle off the pump, turn the pump on, then hand it to you for pumping.
It drives me crazy. The people that take those jobs could really care less about service. it always takes twice as long to get gas in a car compared to other states (I live in Wa)

RE: Pump Jockeys
In New jersey it is illegal for anyone but the attendant to pump gas. I have yet to have someone try to take it out of my hands when I start to fill the bike. I think they all know better. I have never seen a rider getting his bike filled for him.
There has been talk about allowing self service here but every time it comes up it is defeated because everyone expects the price to stay the same as it was for self serve and go way up for full serve. With all the people in this state that have never pumped gas and don't know how they expect they will be paying a big premium.

RE: Pump Jockeys
It is a stupid law. I can't believe the liberal socialistic states of Kalifornia and New York and the North Eastern states don't have those laws since they are always trying to control your lives from the cradle to the grave and tax you death besides, bunch of idiots.

RE: Pump Jockeys
Here (in NJ) it is illegal to pump your own gas. Yet it is understood that, when dealing with a motorcycle,the attendants run your card or cash and take to nozzle off and then they hand it to you and you fill the tank yourself. The guys and galsat theplace that I go to even bring a rag over to you when you take the nozzle out of the tank just in case you drip. One more perk to being on a bike.
