[Shotimes] (OT) "I Want to Pump Myself Up" an ode to NJ

[Tom Smith]

I am in NJ and have a Motorcycle. No attendent has filled my
MC tank in 20 years of riding. They don't care and just hand
you the hose. I also like not smelling like gas when I have to
fill up on the way to work in the SHOs. Fill er up sir......

Just put the little hose on the gas icon for the right side the
fill up is in a car. Most cars I rent for work have an arrow now
pointing to the gas fill side.

Tom 91+ on it's way to Watkins in two weeks for abuse...
95 MB MTX going for sale....
