Has No Life - Lives on TB
When I was an 18 year old, I drove from Flake City to Kalamazoo every day for the summer. I was a floating Bank Teller. I played chicken with semis while driving my '70 Ford Maverick with bald tires.
Two things I see in hindsight: 1) I was CrAzY and 2) God has been VERY merciful to this CrAzY woman through her lifetime.
That's the motorcycle lane. I wish more stations had one.

Neither here nor there.

Designed by an engineer of course!
One of our members told me it's the motorcycle lane. Makes sense now.

we have something like that in gainesville
it came about because the road was made wider and the state took the land from the station
Way too narrow for a motorcycle lane.
Depends on whether you get off the bike to fuel it. I don't, so I pull up very close to the pump so I can operate the card reader. Having the curb on the other side is a bonus so it's easier to flat-foot and balance the bike while I fill the tank. I can see that a big tourer or bagger might have trouble, but standards, sportbikes, and dual-sport/adventure bikes should have no issue.

Same thing happened after Pink Floyd, 1975, they let them grow until they started talking.
If you know, then, you know!
You must not have a big bike. My Goldwing is 37” wide. That means the wheels touch down about where the curb is. If you have a crotch rocket, those are pretty narrow. Also, I’m not able to fill the tank without dismounting. If a gas station were actually going to design a motorcycles-only side, it would be double the width of that image and clearly mark it MOTORCYCLES ONLY. Neither of which is true in the proffered example.
My bike:
You're not going to fit that in that ill-designed pump lane.

I agree, it would be way too close for that era of wing (like mine and yours. mine 93 1500 SE) I still fuel mine while sitting on it but to make sure the mirrors cleared the pumps on the left, I would be seriously close to scaping the belly pan flairs below the driver's pegs. I might make it with the GS 1150, as long as I watched the hard bags in the back.
