I dream of the day when i pull into Shell for refuelling. Pump attendants will dutifully roll out a PADDOCK STAND that is compatible to my bike (in my case, a pro-arm stand would be nice) and jack the bike up for me.

I'm dreaming more along the lines of those kind of hydraulic clampers found in inspection centres, where it will "kiap" ur wheels vertically and the bike can stand by itself.. :lol:

If their pump attendance are expert and spiiling out will not happen to them, Why not we mount on our bike and let them do the filling up?

That's a good point which i never thought of....

They will say nothing is perfect, expert doesnt mean errors will not happen. Probably they'll say the chances of spillage by attendants is 99.9%, but no, we're not risking that 0.1 percent.

That's called stradling, they disallow that as well....

If they can get the attendents to assist riders to hold the bike while refuelling, I would say that is a good enuff victory. Its plain clear to see that many kiosks favour assisting cars over bikes. Washing windshields and tyre rims of cars while the poor biker struggling to keep his bike upright and refueling at the same time without straddling it? :sianz:

 

Kudos to Mpex for leading this one.

In Malaysia,

 

1. bikers pump petrol sitting on bike

 

2. ppl smoke in petrol stations

 

3. ppl use handphones in petrol stations

 

I don't see bikers being killed or petrol stations being blown up.... Shell sure is one bor liao company

 

I say let's all pump petronas, it only does it give me better mileage but at half the cost

MPex, just signed e petition.. (thx 4 e effort)

my point - i TOTALLY cannot c wth is wrong wif pumping petrol while seated on my bike.. SAFETY my A*SE! not a strange policy but an EXTREMELY STUPID one!

Eh dun sign leow... i already submitted the petition last week...

 

Anyhow, we met the management from Shell, what transpired at the meeting is 1 or 2 pages back, this same thread...

 

Now i'm still waiting for them to send me their official statement. Probably due to some red tape, that might take 1-2 working weeks... Supervisor approve, then Manager see, followed by Director view, VP take a look, President and CEO scan thru... then can release... :lol:

what a c***

Erm, this is true....

 

Happened to me. Riding gloves caught the trigger and bad things happened. This was in JB and I had to spend quite a lot of time in the toilet. You do NOT want to be in this situation, trust me. Dun believe me dip your groin in some petrol and see.... it really burns... and the pain does not go away even after 10 mins of washing with running water... about 5 hours to fully recover (but didn't tell anyone).

 

:sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

 

But then, I still support the right for everybody to burn their groin if they so choose to...

Anyone cares to do a very rough estimate how much Shell will lose by asking bikers to dismount?

 

Some figures needed.

 

Number of bikes in S'pore.

Number of bikers using Shell.

Number of bikers now boycotting Shell.

Number of litres and $ of petrol each bikers pump per month.

Number of bikers who own cars (and lorries, bsues, taxis etc) and boycott Shell.

 

Then we can roughly calculate how much revenue will be lost. Period.

People ask me, "Why ride bike?" I ask them back :"Why drive car?"
