In the bag that I keep my "McCuff" splash gas guard in. Then when I am done fueling up and go to put my McCuff back in its bag, I remove my gas cap and screw it on. McCuff bag is strapped to the back of my sissy bar. I got mine at the HD dealer but they called it something different and now I can't find it on their website anymore.

I throw mine REALLY high straight up in the air. Then when I am done pumping gas, I go inside, grab a couple hot dogs, come back outside, catch it and screw it back on. Then I put my hot dogs on the ground and ride off without them.

+1 ... Yep .... I don't think the ink is dry from the last "poll" about where to put the gas cap.

I hold mine in my teeth. Look for the places that have 15% ethanol, taste is much better. As a pre-emptive strike, I unroll my TP from the front side, I hate looking for it up under the back. (I'm sure that question will pop up again soon.)

Is it spring yet?? I rode today without the Gerbings and didn't miss 'em.

K. I'm not sure if I'm the only one but here is my technique.
I spin it off like the spiral of a football,as it's spinning it levitates just high enough to get the pump in. I pump the gas and just as I pull the pump out the centrifugal force that caused the floating has worn off,dropping my cap right on the tank.
Now sometimes you gotta adjust with a hip shake right or left to compensate for wind but that's the advanced course.
K. Kidding aside on top of the pump. I put it on the seat,rolled off and dented the top. Gives it character,I guess.
