I can't fault Nicky too much for buyin' the temporary cap, as I can't stand looking at messed up **** either...
Buuut, layin' the cap on my gloves up between the front of the tank and the handlebar clamps has worked for me quite a few years now.

..scratching my head over how many guys say to put it on the seat.
when my Slim's on the kickstand, the bike leans too far to do that.
the cap would just slide right off, as do my gloves.
of course, keeping it rubbed down with Meguiar's probably ain't helpin'...

Yeah, that, and he's cleaner-looking than most. Have to admit it's a pleasure not having to go inside and wait behind a bunch of toads buying lottery tickets when I'm driving out of state in my F-150. But even though it's illegal to pump your own gas in NJ, I haven't seen an attendant yet that tried to pump gas into a bike-that's the rider's job. Just one more New Jersey law honored more in the breach than observance. Oh, and I leave my cap on top of the pump, haven't forgotten one yet!

I'll man up and admit it - after I first got the bike I left the cap on top of the gas pump and drove off. I was already out of the parking lot and on the road before I smelled gas and looked down and said oh wtf... It had been a looong day and I was not all there. Went back and the person at the pump I was at saw me coming and grinned and handed me the cap. I felt like such a tool, but I'll never do that again! I put mine on the top of the air cleaner upside down, and then use it to hold under the end of the gas nozzle when I am putting it back into the pump so it doesn't drizzle gas down my tank.
