Angry This SUCKS!!!
Ok, I am at the gas station today and the pump is going really slow, slower than normal dispensing the gas. What do I do? Well I put the lock on the pump so I can fill up without having to hold the trigger. What do I do next? Well I stare at the price as it continues to rise thinking to myself "Gas prices are tipping the $3.00 mark again, Blah, Blah, Blah. Now when I regain my thoughts and look down at the bike GAS IS EVERYWHERE!!! I read somewhere that you do not lock the trigger because it will not stop when its full...Somehow I forgot this today! Laughs on me!

Next time, immediately throw some sand on it and wipe with a clean paper towel.

I did the same thing last summer and freaked out. I thought my bike was about to burst into flames.
