No helmets on forecourts

[dmc]

I've never been asked to take my helmet off but I do have to laugh that riders get asked to remove their helmet to pump gas incase you drive off, what difference does it make having your helmet on or off, I bet they don't ask people to remove their hoodie, hat and sunnies when gassing up.
I guess your number plate isn't enough to find you nowadays.

I won't remove mine because they don't provide anywhere to safely put it.

It would be a breach of OSH rules to try to fill the tank with flammable liquid while juggling a helmet. And I'm not putting it down on the ground or on a petrol pump(latter don't have enough space anyway). Not only are they dirty , but they are also likely to be petrolly. Having the helmet lining absorb petrol, to be breathed in when I put it on, is also a OSH breach.

So, unless they provide a safe secure clean place for it, I won't take it off until I've finished filling. Never been challenged , but if I were I'd challenge them back.

Their call at the end of the day I guess.

I just hope they insist on Muslim women removing their head-gear when they want petrol too.

dont get me started on these rag head's
should be deported if ya ask me
and the helmet thing caltex rimataka go there every 4 days never once been queried about helmet inside or out

[Usarka]

Do not put the nozzle on the ground, it aint big clever or funny.

Put it in the rubbish bin.

I've never been asked to take my helmet off although earplugs may mean that I haven't hear the request. Have been told to get off the bike while filling but ignore that one. And I definitely have ridden off when they insist on pre-pay...

bloody oath, Caltex on Main past AFC, I think they switch to prepay at 6pm, I dont even bother going there now

[Max Preload]

I almost never remove my helmet just for getting petrol and I'll be damned if I'm queueing twice (prepay to fill, then receipt). I simply just don't go to petrol stations that are prepay.

Easiest thing is to vote with your wallet and go elsewhere

Local garage stuck one of these silly signs up, I questioned them about muslim women and asked if they had checked with the race relations office about the discriminatry treatment

The sign disappeared shortly afterwards

[wickle]

Thou there's no law about taking helmets off, is it not being courteous to show your face a flip lid helmet solves this also.

[mattian]

If you go into a bank they would ask you to do the same thing. Its about security and theft..... its nothing personal, try not to take it that way.

Good old Mobil Ashhurst eh?

[Bullitt]

Ive never worn a helmet into any other shop but Ive never taken it off to pay for gas (unless I was buying subway at Rimutex). If I got asked to Id go somewhere else.

[Swoop]

IF there is a problem...
No fuel = nozzle set on full flow and placed on the floor along with the 5 other nozzles in the vicinity.
Walk into counter and remove glubs, helmet, sunnies, whatever else...
go back to bike...
refuel... SLOWLY!!!
replace cap... EVEN SLOWER.
Return to monkey-retard till-jockey to retrieve helmet.
Use disgusting putrid scummy water that petrol stations dare to call windshield washer fluid, to clean visor.
Return (once again to till-monkey-retard) to pay.
.....
.....
.....
(this game can be played for hours if required, especially if you do not fill the tank entirely...).

It is amazing how dirty a visor can become...

FFS... How do you ride a bike with those blinkers on?

[mattian]

fill up an empty water bottle with fuel then, go inside spray the whole place with it and throw in a lit match when leaving Jump on the bike and fly out of there on the back wheel, laughing crazily as you leave.

[Grumpy]

Got asked to remove my helmet before being served a little while back. No problem. Removed my helmet but before I got to my balacalva the bloke said cheers and served me. Not quite sure what the difference is.


Then again, the sign on the window did only stipulate helmets ......
