    Uh oh.... we're getting a little off topic now. Sounds like taking your helmet off at service stations isn't the only thing we're Thenthetive about.

    Bowsers....... Have not heard them called that for a long time.

    I check six forecourts out on the way home and can say that not ALL state you must remove your helmet, did not bother to ask one attendant that was having his smoke break... go figure.

    Having read only the initial and last posts, I have this to say.
    1. I have not once been asked to remove my helmet. Once I have been asked to prepay, but I gave that silly little man a talk and he agreed on my calling him a wally. If they ask me to remove my helmet, then I will proceed to remove a few pumps from their nozzle.
    2. Uh...
    Fuck,
    Wait.
    FIGHT THE MACHINE, YEAAAAAAAH!

    I actually do wonder how many bikes do a runner. I mean really.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    I find being dressed as red pajama camo ninja I have no probs! I often walk into shops with helmet on and all and pass the time away having a nice chat with the people within!

    'Cept for banks s'course, then I take the helmet off and just wear the balaclava! Mind you, I'm only using the hole in the wall machines ...

    And as for servos, no probs also! Just your everyday mr average red pajama camo ninja out for a nice little pootle ... doing no-one no harm!

    This issue really grind my gears. I have on occasion had requests to remove my helmet which I duly ignore and then take my business elsewhere in the future, plenty of petrol stations around.
    I've even had a "service" station refuse to turn on the pump when filling up the car on one occasion because they couldn't see my numberplate. Fair enough, their call, my money and I can take them elsewhere.
    I always make a point of opening my visor and getting my wallet out before entering the shop.

    Another fun things are the stickers with all the things you are not allowed to do at a petrol station. One of them says that all mobile phones must be turned off - urban myths are all fun and games until they are allowed to form company policy. Funny that, I haven't seen them trying to actually enforce that one. How about that, having to leave all your mobile devices in the care of the operator before being allowed to pump gas...

    Yes, but I am pretty sure a robber or thief would ignore the request to remove the helmet as well.
    If they made it policy to call the police as soon as someone took more than 10 seconds to remove their helmet I think I would find that very entertaining indeed.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
