That's an argument I can't understand. How do you get more in, do you keep the bike bolt upright until the extra fuel has been used and put the bike on a paddock when you go to pay?

Yep......it just spills right out the moment you turn left onto the 55 North @ Chapman Ave.

Or so I've heard it said.

Me too, you can get more in. I don’t smoke or text while I’m doing though.
Fwiw I always fill whilst standing next to the bike, never have done whilst still astride. I do understand the "upright to fully fill" bit though, as with a side stand there is often an air pocket left to the side of the filler. I simply tip the bike upright momentarily, and then back down onto the stand, to equalise that.
