Lobbying by ABATE of Oregon got the law changed so riders can pump their own fuel. I used to just smile and ask if they wanted to buy a new paint job for my bike. The kicker was the safety of the rider (spilling fuel on a hot cylinder head or exhaust system). In areas like Portland where they have vapor recovery a clip to hold the vapor sleeve back is very handy.
