Just a word of warning!!
When filling up your bike make sure you keep your visor shut as I have spent a total of 4 hrs in 2 different A&E's today after I got a face full of unleaded, when filling the Tuono up today.
After the initial splash I thought this isn't too bad then OMFG the pain in my eyes hit me and at the same time I thought petrol all over me and my hot bike. So I managed to get my bike onto the side stand then proceeded to take my helmet off which seemed to take 30mins I was waiting for the searing heat of the fire ball but luckily that didn't happen.
After shouting and setting the alarm off on my bike the staff and a customer helped me with 2 bottles of saline eye wash. After the pain died down I went to the local A&E which was 3miles from the petrol station and 35miles from my house and they checked me over and said I was fine to go home.
The ride home was fun, breathing in petrol fumes all the way home.
Then 4 hrs later started to get a burning sensation around my eyes and cheeks, started feeling sick. So after ringing NHS Direct I went back to my local A&E. After blood tests and a proper look in my eyes with anesthetic and dye they said there is slight chemical burn to my right eye but will heal within a week and I have slight chemical burns to my face (just like sun burn really) some antibiotic drops/ cream for my eyes and the nausea will ease within 36-48 hrs because I swallowed some!
So either widen the stupidly small Italian filling hole if you have an Ape or keep your visor shut!
