I always have to take off at least one glove to gas up so I place the cap on top of the glove. If I ever forget both the cap and the glove, it'll be time to check into the old rider's home.

 

I was waiting for someone to come up with something like this. You know the type, the kind that has NEVER forgotten anything, or made even a SINGLE MISTAKE. The ones who tell you that if you have made the mistake of forgetting something you shouldn't be riding a bike. The same ones who have never lost a pair of sunglasses when filling up their car or anything like that. I'm so tired of ***-hat comments.

And why bother replacing a perfectly good gas cap with an aftermarket one? This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

 

In all fairness, I can easily picture someone with a Glide, taking the cap off, placing it on top of the gas pump, filling up, flipping the door shut and taking off, especially if you're in a hurry. Those who can't picture it must ride something without a door over their gas cap, especially if they've bought an expensive after market gas cap.

 

Use a potato, I know they work really well on exhaust pipes.

 

My first HD was a new '08 Ultra. I opened the fuel flap and filled up for over a year.

Traded it and got a new Limited. First time I filled the bike I noticed it had a fuel cap....

I had wondered about it, kinda, with my 08 but never really asked the question.

Anyway, the cap is a breather to allow for expansion / contraction of the volume in the tank so no damage done to the engine.

Now, I did go on vacation and leave my key in the garage - guess that is an equally stoooopid thing to do. I was warming the bike up whilst putting rain gear on and left the key on a shelf. Rode off and then stopped at a gas station 10 minutes from the ferry terminal. Had to learn quickly how to use the PIN option!

 

My solution too! Kinda proves the old sayin' "If it was up your *** you'd know where it was"...............

 

a molotovorcycle?

 

Obviously you haven't been around my socks.

 

Understood, i actually have an attention problem as well.
