    Here's an idea for those stations that insist you remove your helmet. Ask them to provide an off ground shelf for you to put your helmet on while not wearing it. Also point out the increased hazard to both the customers and the employess if you are required to balance helmet, gloves etc in one hand while correctly dispensing a volatile liquid with the other.

    That main point I was getting at is that he said remove and replace, then later he said he can remove his helmet in a few seconds. Replacing it must take a further few seconds, increasing his original comment to at least several seconds.

    Most opinions in threads are covered within the first couple of pages anyway then it just repeats over

    You referring to what I said? Sorry mate..when I said I could remove my helmet in a few seconds...I did forget to add AND replace. So for you...I'll say this...I can remove and replace my helmet in a few seconds. You can sit there and argue the diff between a few and several...but really...you should be doing your homework like a good little varsity student.

    I'm actually on hols at the mo, so tomorrow I'm gonna go for a ride

    I do remove my helmet these days as some servos got bitchy about it and I don't have too many options on my commute so now I can't be bothered the hassle of being asked to take it off. I just like arguing the reasons why they're so bitchy about it.

    I guess south auckland doesn't exactly have the most trusting servos either

    wow talk about a mountain out a molehill. The only time I have ever had an issue with a gas station was a few years back at gull in kingsland.

    Me drives up to pump, presses fill inserts nozzle into tank. Nothing. Me waits. Nothing. Me gets pissed off, gets in car drives to next pump. Me repeats proceedure and the car fills up. Me pays for fuel and leaves. A month later when Im in the south island I get a phone call from parents, We have a letter from gull saying you did fill and drive. They want $80 (i got $40 of fuel) or they will take you to court. Right thinks I, this is bullshit, ill use their own securtiy camera footage against them and they can pay for court costs too. Parents carry on... so we paid it for you. I*&^* says I.

    Never been back to that station again.
