In NJ and Oregon, you can't pump your own gas. So do you just sit on the bike while the attendant pumps the gas into your $10,000 Harley? Do you get off? Do they let you pump it yourself into a bike?
I've yet to get gas in NJ but being that it's where I live, I'll have to one day. What's the protocol for this?

That would be a problem. I would ask the pump jocky if he rode a Harley. Yes he could pump.
I've ridden through NJ and stopped at a few Gas Stations. Each time the attendent just handed me the gas nozzle without ever saying a word. I think they realize if they spilled gas on your bike it wouldn't be pleasent. If not don't be afraid to say that you want to pour your own.
I live in NJ and I always grab the pump handle or the attendent hands it to me. I have never seen anyone let an attendent pump their gas for them innor would anyone in NJ let them. You won't have a problem getting gas here.

yep, what he said... to add that at "most" gas stations I go to (Wawa) they don't even bother coming over to the pump. By the time they could get there I've already ran the card and stated pumping anyway. They usually just shrug and go about their business.
Now, let me state how much I love NJ's law regarding this...
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!1
I HATE having to get out of my car/truck and pump my own gas!
Every gas station I stop at the attendant just hands me the pump nozzle. I have yet to get an attendant that insists on fueling my bike. It seems to be an unwritten rule that you let riders fill their own bikes, especially if it is a Harley. Only once has my bike been filled by the attendant. That was when the pump wasmalfunctioning and the guy knew how to manipulate it just so. Didn't spill any gas either. I believe that most attendants prefer that we do it ourselves in spite of the law.

I always pump my own gas in the bike, and the attendants have always drained the nozzle before handing it to me.
