I would be on tip toes on mine, have to lean it over to get off the bike, perhaps shell should have a small bike policy and a tall bike policy (thumbs).

Aunty Nim is she a relative of yours? :whistle:

Whats the point of sitting on it whilst filling you still have to get off to pay? :laugh:

That's right Ralph, everyone who doesn't agree with you is a knob

But you haven't disagreed, or presented any evidence to the contrary, you've just made a personal attack.

If you have a counter argument, or can present evidence that sitting astride a bike while filling has caused X amount of injuries then please present it.

Disagreeing is great, resorting to personal attacks instead, are the actions of a knob.

All relies on someone spilling fuel. So according to the petrol companies we're all incapable of filling up whilst sitting on the bike without spilling it? What makes a spillage more likely while sat astride than standing alongside? Granted standing alongside allows you to run away, but run away from what? Fires are EXTREMELY rare. Your probably more likely to be hit by a bus crossing the road.

Also says evidence is presented, but doesn't say what the evidence is. Uses an image in justification from that same one YouTube video we've already seen on this thread. All the millions of motorbikes filled up around the world every day, Is this one incident really all we've got?

I'm a firm believer that there's no point having a mind, if you are never prepared to change your mind, that would mean you are not thinking. But so far, not seen anything that says I should change it.

There was no personal attack from me, was it me who called YOU a knob??

I have no observations whatsoever about shell and their rules, I just wanted to make it clear that there is no point disagreeing with you as YOU are always right

Oh ! and he'll be back soon to say 'I told you so' because that's his favourite saying

What is this if it's not a personal attack?

Move to Catalunya, where you regularly see people filling up a car/bike or half dozen petrol cans with a fag in the mouth and a phone to their ear.

I still find it insane that you can do what the hell you like at an unattended filling station, but the minute there is someone sat behind the counter, all these rules come into play that only affect the customer.

We are talking about Shell rules in the UK
