Stephen,
Obviously, the easiest way is to ride until the tank is nearly empty.
Depends on what you're planning to do and your experience working with
gasoline.  Keep in mind that a pint of gas reportedly has the
explosive power of a stick of dynamite!  If it's routine service like
replacing the fuel filter, you can prop the tank on the bench so the
access cover is above the fuel level.

I guess the safe answer is to suggest you siphon it into an approved
container, one which has more capacity than your fuel tank.  But stay
within your skill level.  We don't want to read about you in the
newspaper unless you win the lottery!  And then we assume you'll
remember us kindly ;-).
