    Never had a N.J. gas attendant even attempt to gas a bike for me. Seems like law or not they were gun shy to fuel bikes. Maybe they have stories of skulls getting cracked for spilling all over a custom paint job.

    And FLFD7... your Dad's Scout looks like it could have doubled as a guillotine in the event of an accident!

    New Jersey doesn't sound inviting, but Illinois drives citizens out purposefully.

    YEAH, That's the guy!!!

    If I'm not mistaken... NJ is the only state now that is NOT a 'self serve" gas station state. It's illegal.

    Never noticed front plate display like that before. Maybe a N.J. State thing? Wonder if he was allowed to pump his own gas.
