How many miles? Have you checked the crossover to the saddle tanks? Are your vapor recovery lines pinched? Charcoal filter?
Here's some ideas:

Quickly:
It is a two part problem. The gas is going into a saddle bag tank, and the restricted neck between the two sides of the tank will cause the filling action to build up pressure if the gas is going in too fast AND/OR, the charcoal filter cannister is blocked or such, causing the backpressure that makes the pump stop.
The other part is the sensitivity of the nozzle due to the backpressure, and I've found that the ones with a 'docking tube' on them are the worst offenders by far, and using the ones without that goofy tube fixes the problem.
That, and don't be in such a dang hurry you can't fill up on the lowest possible pump speed.
All that coupled with a *really* weird fuel inlet tube... it actually climbs uphill a little before going into the tank.
I rarely have to turn mine over. Mainly because I don't mind an extra 2 minutes to fill up, and I try like heck to not use the docking tube pumps. Oh, and I picked up on if you 'slosh' the tank by pushing on the side of the car, thereby (I guess?) moving a little more fuel to the right side, it'll stop doing it for a little bit. Maybe I'm just delusional about that last though.

I've filled up 11 times since I've owned the car, and I've never had a problem at the pump. Other than that the numbers seem to count a little higher every time I go there. Stupid gas prices. It'll be nice not to have to commute 50 miles a day to school and back over the summer. Should save me quite a bit.
