I've seen this topic crop up quite alot recently so i'm wondering what you're opinions on the matter are?

Personally i think it's a load of B-S to be asked to remove you're helmet whilst filling up/paying, lets be honest once you're visor/goggle are flipped up you can see the majority of the face and yet they seem to find that intimidating?

Same as, I got this helmet and with the goggles I cant see nearly half as much:

But yeah, every petrol station ive been two they've asked me to take my helmet off, on most occasions they turn off the pump until I take it off as recently theres been a lot of people riding off without paying

Lol I got some pratt of a customer telling me I should remove my helmet, whilst paying for fags at the till of our local village co-op the other week, I mean stood there with a £20 pound note in my hand surely isn't considered intimidating, plus he ended up with a quick "fook off" from me and a "tarra Nev" from the girl at the till.
Now a high street bank on the other hand, now thats a different kettle of fish, lol.

hahaha nice one, tbh i'm lucky enough to not be asked in any of the petrol stations near me! end of the day it's gunna be easier if there's massive que's of traffic waiting for petrol if you leave the helmet on instead of taking it off/putting it on! take's the fizzle!

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

you crazy northern bastards! thankfully i haven't been asked to removed my helmet yet, when they do ill whack me nob out and slam it on the counter!

NEV · Guru

Well theres one for Youtube Nath.

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

NEV · Guru

You'll need one for the till girls face mate, especially if yer gettin the hedgehog out.

I don't like keeping the helmet on. When I do it's at pay at pump anyway.

Energized · DTR Legend

I've always left my lid on when filling up/paying never had any issues, if i did i'd just do a Nath and slap my wang out, on the counter.

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

Calum122 · Guru

Just look like knob with your helmet on without your bike.

mr karnage · Guru

some people are just ****s

absolute chiefs, like coppers and security guards are

probably got bullied at school and now they think theyve got some power to boss people around. nah not happening mate

they wont say anything to religious muslims becuase they cant

see a man in a balaclava its a reason to call the ****ing police

see how fast the police come if you tell them theres a muslim with a bomb

the government/higher powers try keep the people ignorant and miss informed, keep the nation willing to do anything they want

i have no issue removing mine to make the staff fell safer. At the end of the day we are all dressed in big jackets, gloves and helmets. if i was an ass, id be dressed in the right gear for a fight and such.

im not an ass, and have only been asked once to pop off my lid. but tbh i take no offence, i just get well confused if the door to the garage stays locked and im like wtf how do i get in lol

mr karnage · Guru

but if your robbing the place your arent robbing the person at the till your robbing the company

their fault for standing in the way even though it says in their 'terms and conditions' not to put up a fight or resistance

creamsodauk · DTR Respected Member

yer its there fault, how silly of me

Who on earth wants to be subject to a robbery or feel unsafe in there own work place? worse still who wants too feel unsafe and then find they are robbed and their company hold them responsible?

think id rather just ask people to remove there helmets if its a concern
