Taking yer Lid off for shops

[pyrocam]

roll up to the bp, move on over to the atm. (spotted the cop at the pump when I had rolled in) anyway pump my card into the machine and see the cop aproaching me out of the corner of my eye, im all cool and stuff.

excuse me, when you walk into a petrol station you should take your helmet off.
ahh yeah I come here all the time these guys know me
yeah but cops around here might think your robbing the place
ahh yeah whatever mate, you need me to take it off now?
mumble mumble couldnt hear him
look at my machine it wasnt giving me my cash.
some shit about camera's
wave him off yeah yeah and take my lid of for his pleasure. promtly go to licquor store next to it and buy my beer with lid on.

I mean, he wasnt a dick or anything, reasonably good guy for a cop.

Do you bother taking your lid off? I never get asked to except once at my local BP the day after they were robbed. cept well ill take it off at banks I guess.

[SixPackBack]

i get aksed its the tats and dreads and cos im black you should a nutted him with yor lid:headbang:

[tl_tub]

I got a mirrored visor so she wouldnt get turned off during sex :blink:

[SARGE]

hell man .. the ASB on the corner or K rd & Queen gave me shit about my Oakley's

then when i took them off the tosser asked...

"Jeeze.. what happened to your eye..?"

" i asked some cunt to take his shades off one day.."


EDIT: for those who dont know, i am missing an eye due to a freak sissors/ running accident when i was younger

:lol: timmay.........

[Oakie]

Yeah of course I leave my lid on for sex ... but only when we're doing it on the back seat of the bike (thank God for the centre stand) :banana:

[sels1]

Wasnt there another thread about this?
I dont take my lid off at my usual local servo, as I know the staff. At other places I normally do, but not always.

[Magua]

The dudes at my local petrol station see me often enough and I haven't held them up for cash yet. :spudguita

[NordieBoy]

Looks like Hitcher only takes his off when he's on TV.

:yes:

[madboy]

Looks like Hitcher only takes his off when he's on TV.

:yes:I bet his wife forces him to keep it on :shake:

[Back Fire]

I can't vote :thud:
I always take my lid off when I stop... I haver clostrephobia(sp) problems and I hate tight things around my neck and wrists (necklaces, watches, straps etc) and shite... yet I ride a bike, go figure :wacko:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Always. My kids have worked at the local petrol stations and places and it is out of curtesy to the staff. Think about the other people in the shops as well. If you have had a gun in your face you will know what I mean. Your helmet on your head makes people nervous. Not a nice feeling. So for the sake of others just take them off. Please.:2thumbsup

[inlinefour]

I go and get petrol from the local and they never ask me to take my lid off. Can't say Ive been asked to do it at any other petrol station in the naki either, but I guess if a place has been ripped off a few times then the paranoia is understandable. Got asked to not sit on the bike when filling it. I could understand the reasoning behind the request, but the attendant was being a arse about it and I told him to feck off and never went back to the petrol station again. If someone can be polite and let me know ehy its a good idea to do what is asked of me, then I don't have a problem with complying. But if they are carrying on like twats, then I'm just as likely to ignore them.:bash:

[Psalm42]

Ok, get this, 2 years ago I used to ride full time delivering packages on a 110 scoota, Company logo all over me.
I ride in to a bp for the big $5 full up, as I walk in to the servo Im removing my wallet, as I approach the counter, Im pulling out the cash.
I look up and the chick behind the counter proceeds to tell me she will not serve me if I dont take the skid lid off.

I said "Oh, is gas free today?"

NO! Take the helmet off, didnt you see the sign on the door. Staff might think your going to rob us.

I said "and make a fast get away on a scoota? With company sign writting on it and me. How many times have you heard of someone robing a servo with their wallet and a $5 note?"

I dont care take off the helmet.

I said "I dont think your going to be any happier if I do, are you sure."

YES TAKE IT OFF (I rearly hear a woman say these words, in hind site I should have started striping).

OK I says. The problem being, I always wear a balaclava under my lid (easyer that cleaning the lid).

So here I am standing at the counter in the servo with a balaclava on.
And I say "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!!!!!!"

All so I could give her a $5 note.

And as for the bank, they just lock ya between the glass doors....


PS, Does For Sex also include when your getting screwed by the cops?

[texmo]

I have to take it off at certain places, Repco have banned me, I am allowed back in there now because the dude told me to take my helmet off and told him to fuck off It would have been the 20th time i went there, I ahd my sub60 bag on and shit just wanted to pick an item off counter and leave.. and some other places like 135albert make you take your helmet off or the security gaurd will chase you..... been there done that not worth the hassel..

[NordieBoy]

PS, Does For Sex also include when your getting screwed by the cops?
Depends wether you enjoy it or not.

[Ixion]

OK, The ultimate answer to this we need Mr Bikeycop and Mr Nodman. Do they take their lids off when they go somewhere (gas station etc) on duty? If they do, I will. If they don't then obviously the helmet itself is not intimadatory, so requiring me to take it off is discrimination

FWIW, I usually do, just because I feel a bit twittish talking with it on. But maybe not if I'm in a hurry.

And does it make a difference full face or open face?

And what about if I pay at the pump ? And don't go inside at all?

[pyrocam]

not to mention I left my rego sticking out for all to see.

I guess they dirty jeans and sneakers made me look dodgy (I wasnt wearing gloves either

I live 1k from the petrol station and before you call me a lazy arse I had just walked 10K's (1.5hours) from work to home.

[civil]

So Psalm42, even when other woman ask you to "Take it off", you disapoint them too!! Bugger.

[Gremlin]

I don't remove my helmet when going into a station, too much of a pain. Don't really have a specific local either, just fill up wherever. That said, I normally aim for the Mobils because they have EFTPOS at the pump. Nice and easy.

When I do have to go in, its visor up, and card in hand. Tried smiling, then realised the breath guard kinda gets in the way... :no:

I think BC cheats as well. IIRC, he has one of the helmets where the whole front lifts up :blink: How awefully practical...

edit: oh, for other places, helmet off. Usually going to be longer anyway...

[Goddess of Goof]

Hey I was at a Mobil station a couple of weeks ago - not where I usually go - and I pulled up, got off the bike, and opened up the tank, put the nozzle in and pulled on the lever.
No gas.
Tried again, no gas. Looked over at the window, glass reflection, couldn't see anything. No one came out, nothing.
Tried again. no gas.
T H I N K S - D U H - maybe better remove helmet - did this, and tried the lever again.
Glorious Gas a-plenty. (not your kind, Sarge! LOL)

And then, when I go in, this unsmiling young woman in a Muslim headress says in this really disapproving, bossy voice, " NO HELMET ON "

so I didn't reply or anything. Just paid and left.

Something is dehumanising - and it isn't me... !

I've got a flip lid and I've never been asked to remove it.
I have
on the way *out* of countdown by a security guard *after* paying.

Ain't been back there.


I take it off if asked, but if I've got cards in one hand shopping in the other, and am told to take it off I will stay at the counter to take off my diskman , scarf, beenie, helmet ... and put them back on again.

Oh yeah.
Down here at BP they won't let you in with a helmet on and they won't use the night pay window even at night.

[mstriumph]

i feel sooooooooooo discriminated against

if i've only got to get one or two things i'll regularly wander into shops, chemists, filling stations, the post office .. with my helmet on ........

and i've never been asked to remove it ..........

......... obviously i'll have to practice looking menacing or something :angry:

mutter, mutter, mutter.....

[Sniper]

What happens if a robber does come in and trys to nut you wit a baseball bat. If you had your helmet on you would be ok, but if laws tell you to take it off, could you sue the petrol station for putting you in a dangerous situation?

[Lou Girardin]

Why didn't you politely tell Mr Nosy Plod to mind his own business?
BTW Flip fronts mean never having to take your lid off. (Not even for sex)

[Gontour]

wear glasses so a real bugger to take helmet off at fill-up time.
Havent been asked to either...they just seem to want my money

[Devil]

I always take my helmet off. Not doing so is just rude. Just like leaving your sunglasses on while talking to someone (mates excluded). People on TV in an interview or whatever leaving them on, its just rude. Didn't your mothers teach you anything?

Its like wearing a hat/cap inside.

:msn-wink:
Why would I want to keep it out of the way? Chicks love the mane... :banana:

[ManDownUnder]

I always take it off (having the quick release clasp on the strap helps) but for me it's a combo of do undo others (coz I'd like them to take it off for me...) and the whole "take your hat off while you're inside" gleefully beaten into me.

aaa the old ways...

Anyhoo. there's my 5c

[pyrocam]

I spose one way to beat this is to have cash on you and then if they bitch you just slap your 20 down on the counter and walk out. maybe I dont want my face recorded for demographic statistical purposes (Im sure BP has a record of your face attached to your AA card or something)

[vifferman]

I'd normally ignore this thread, since it's at least the fourth iteration of this topic. However (BUT!) things have changed since the last few times this has gone to air.
I now make a point of NOT taking my helmet off, even if the servo has one of them helmet stickers on the door. But I will take it off if asked (haven't been yet).
Most times I fill up during daylight hours, and it's rather obvious that I'm about to pay, not rob the place. So it's rude to the assistants if I don't? Tough. They're there to provide a service to me, not the other way around, and it's a disservice having to take off gloves and helmet and put them back on again. As it is, I usually manage to drop summat - dropped my keys twice last time - and have to carry my helmet and gloves would make it worse. I'd be REALLY pissed off if I dropped my helmet because someone insisted I remove it.

[SPman]

Never been asked.
If the eventuality arises, it would depend on the situation, my mood and the courtesy or otherwise of the asker. :yawn:

[Karma]

I'll usually take the lid off.

Only takes a couple of seconds to take if off... and it's a lot easier filling up / paying / having a ciggie without the lid on.

If you did get problems you could always have your lighter handy and blow the garage up on the way out, a la Arnold Schwearzeniaaegggerss

[Lou Girardin]

Do they have signs banning hoodies?

[Teflon]

I just tell them to go 'fuck themselves'. but i'm a fucking hard cunt thou..

[*sic]

just GET HARD and tell them to piss off or you'll headbut their face and ruin their shit..

or just take it off and smile / mac on the hot chick that told you too

[Swoop]

Do they have signs banning hoodies?
Very good point!!!!!!!!!

[sunhuntin]

i take my lid off whenever im going to be away from the bike for any length of time. but that doesnt include when gassing up, since i use a self serve site, and have an open face helmet so its usually more a case of removing the sun glasses and tucking them in my pocket. have to remove my gloves to get the gascap off [keys are tied to bike, tricky to release in gloves]

[Macktheknife]

I never take it off in gas stations, or the helmet, but I have told a guy to fuck off when he asked me to take it off in a dairy, mostly because he only asked me after I had been served by the other staff member! Twat!

[mstriumph]

I always take my helmet off. Not doing so is just rude......................... Didn't your mothers teach you anything?

for you it's rude
for me wearing a head-covering inside is encouraged [weddings, funerals, afternoon teas ........... ] - guess that's why wearing the crashie inside don't bother me
i'm female - you aren't. It's a gender-based cultural thing :msn-wink: don't sweat it

[cowboyz]

if my bike is off, my helmet comes off. Force of habit really. First thing I do after hitting the kill switch is take my helmet off. I consider it really rude talking to someone/anyone, including service attendants (which I usually get into some kind of conversation with) to talk to them while wearing a helmet.

The one and only exception to this rule was I contiuned wearing my helmet when I came home one night and told my wife I had been ticketed for $630 for speeding. But that was more of a personal safety issue.

[cowboyz]

as coincidence would have it. I filled my bike in Palmy this afternoon and as I walked into the shop the attendant thanked me for removing my helmet because "no-one ever does" I couldn't believe no one removes their helmet. Look how wrong I can be...

[Karma]

Well the other thing I have is that I listen to my Minidisc player when I ride... drowns out the engine noise and makes the journey more interesting.

If I've got my headphones in and helmet on I can't hear a word anyone says to me anyways, even with the music off.

[Ixion]

Well, those versed in such matters will know that it is correct in polite company for gentlemen to REMOVE their hats whilst indoors. But for LADIES to remain covered (unless in their own home or that of a near relative) . So on that basis , male bikers should take their lids off, and biker chicks leave them on.

I usually remove mine when i go to pay. But I leave it on whilst filling. Cos if you take it off at that stage , you have the problem of what do you do with it? Put it on the oily dirty forecourt, where some clown will kick it? Hang it from handlebars, mirrors, perch on seat ? Asking for disaster all of those. Try to hang on to it with one hand , whilst working fuel cap keys, pump nozzle and rocking the bike with the other? More disasters coming

So I leave it on while I fill, and take it off while I walk to the pay place. Pop it on the counter, leaving two hands free for wallet, cards etc.

Never had a servo turn the pump off and I can't see that's justified. You're no threat to them whilst still outside. That, I'd put down to anti-biker attitude and give them a bit of attitude back again.

But, a question. Why should a biker , wearing helmet, make people afraid? Watching the crime camera thingies on TV, there's very few , if any, where the robbers are wearing crash helmets. Mainly beanies, balaclavas or nothing.

I reckon the whole "If you don't take it off you're a villian" is actually a beatup. Take the lid off, because it's only polite not to talk to someone from within the depths of the helmet. But I don't wear the "People will be afraid of you" thing.

[quickbuck]

Took mine off in the servo today, then saw the back of my head in the security tv. AAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I think I will use eftpos at pump, of leave it on from now on! It has a quick release clip, so I always take it off, usually after I fuel up though as I don't want to put it on the ground, and I would hate for it to fall from the bike. That is if I can't put it on the petrol pump.

[Mattyc]

I leave my lid on when i take a big shit, helps me concentrate on dropping off the cosbys !!

I take it off a majority of the time cause im a sweaty beast and need to minimise sweat ! and heat

[speights_bud]

I worked at a servo for 5 months, between Napier and wairoa/taupo. Had heaps of bikers through; never had a problem with helmets on, Even though quite alot of them were of the unfriendly type(those of you who know the particular bikies from wairoa will know who i mean) I might add that i NEVER had a 'drive off' from any of these types though. Making eye contact is enough for the bloke behind the counter to realise that you wont to cause any problems.
As for not being able to sit on the bike while re-fuelling, just tell the attendant that there a self closing valve unless the bike is upright in the tank to prevent it from leaking should you come unstuck 'on road'.
Some Bp servo's have chucked in the 'no sitting rule'

Although i must say that even though i know the people at my regular servo personally, i always take my helmet off. Makes the whole sale thing going on more friendly for all.

thats why i never use any of the reward program cards.. they are just marketing tools used t track your purchases.. i mean , hell man.. wanna reward me.. gimme .04 off a litre of fuel on the spot, or a free pack of smokes with every fillup.. i really dont need a coffee wizzer milk frother springy thingie for 700 flybuys points when i can get one at the $2 shop

Aaaaaaaah - you've had that experience too, eh! Frightening, the first time! :apint:

[Finn]

Okay I'll set the scene... Clear sunny Sat morning in Auck. One month old 1000rr, 2 up, one piece racing spidi's, radar detector in clear view, leaners license - yip. Before you ask, no I didn't have an L plate.

Okay so I need some gas so I'm at the point of no return entering the local BP and see a cop. Okay I say, be confident. There are many free isles but I pull up right beside him. Getting off the bike I notice an unmarked cop on the other side of the first cop. Great... stay calm.

At this stage all four of them are looking at me while they carry on with their conversation. I say "morning, great day huh?" A girl cop says, "yeah, good for a ride" small pause, "where are you off too?" I say with a smile "You tell me where your off to first!" They all laugh.

As I start to fill up I notice my girlfriend is frozen, looking really guilty. She might as well have her hands held out ready for the cuffs! I wisper, r-e-l-a-x.

I finish filling up and prepare to pay. For those of you who have one piece suits you'd know they don't have pockets. So I pack my credit card and pointless license down inside my boot making for quick access. I walk around the bike next to the cops and while I say "Surely I don't need to take my lid off with all you guys around" I pull out my credit card and my friggen license gets caught and falls on the forecourt. It's laying there all nice a yellow. The ass pucker factor is at max. So calmly I bend back down. Well I couldn't pick the bloody thing up! No finger nails, sweaty fingers and a slippery license. In what seemed an eternity, I eventually, after several attemps (not kidding) manage to pick the damn thing up.

I didn't look over at them and walked straight to the counter to pay. I was prepared for the rugby tackle with 4 cops on top of me but it never happened. I simply walked back to the bike, got on, waved at them and took off... via all the back streets just in case they pushed my license details through my rego.

I learnt one thing that day... that I could hold my breath for 7 minutes.

yep, the pak n save fuel site i used to work at has a no sitting rule. but they also say no cell phones and no children under 15 are allowed to fill cars. i had more people ignoring those rules than anything else..never had a biker remain sitting while filling. i can sorta understand why the no sitting thing...i imagine a drop of fuel running down the tank and into the crotch of your pants would not be a good thing, lol.

[SARGE]

i always sit on my bike when filling ..just the way ive always done it and always will.. i top it ALL the way up to the rim and dont have the hose draped across my paint.

I always pull up to the pump, sidestand down, gloves off, fill up, dismount then go in and pay....leaving lid on. Have never been asked to take it off. Have been ask to not sit on my bike while filling it tho. Politely told the zit-faced little shit where to go!

Ok, get this, 2 years ago I used to ride full time delivering packages on a 110 scoota, Company logo all over me.
I ride in to a bp for the big $5 full up, as I walk in to the servo Im removing my wallet, as I approach the counter, Im pulling out the cash.
I look up and the chick behind the counter proceeds to tell me she will not serve me if I dont take the skid lid off.

I said "Oh, is gas free today?"

NO! Take the helmet off, didnt you see the sign on the door. Staff might think your going to rob us.

I said "and make a fast get away on a scoota? With company sign writting on it and me. How many times have you heard of someone robing a servo with their wallet and a $5 note?"

I dont care take off the helmet.

I said "I dont think your going to be any happier if I do, are you sure."

YES TAKE IT OFF (I rearly hear a woman say these words, in hind site I should have started striping).

OK I says. The problem being, I always wear a balaclava under my lid (easyer that cleaning the lid).

So here I am standing at the counter in the servo with a balaclava on.
And I say "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!!!!!!"

All so I could give her a $5 note.

And as for the bank, they just lock ya between the glass doors....

you should've written down your name and address and told her to bill you for the $5

Use to keep it on for sex just in case I needed a fast getaway.

Do they have signs banning hoodies?


Recently in the South Auckland Courier there was an article about banning hoodies in Malls. Apparently WestField in Australia have signs banning hoodies covering heads and faces inside the Malls. How this ties in with our PC acceptance of Muslim veiled women, I do not know, but,
I digress....

The article was discussing the pros and cons of doing the same here.

With all the South Auckland youth and gang problems, it seems to be something they want to do.

I don't think it is worth much myself.

If people want to commit a Mall heist they will carry in masks or balaclavas - whip them on - and commit the crime anyway....and be filmed on the perimeter surveillance camera....stupid maniacs without Mana
