Just a thought. Some petrol stations can get terribly arsey of a motorcyclist doesn't take off their helmet when filling up, yet I filled up while completely obscuring my fizzing by wearing a face mask, sunnies and a baseball cap and no one batted any eyelid.

So how can one be acceptable but not the other?

It's funny how quick businesses cha ge their stand on something fundamental when the alternative is to suddenly not make any money.

Go into a bank wearing a mask, without the fear of not being able to get out without a police escort.

Bye ... thanks for all the fish ...Although i'm baffled as to why you would leave us .... :sad:
Drago ... I've found that nobody says a word when i walk into the garage shop with my full face helmet on ... its weird, after 45 years of being refused service if i don't take my helmet off now i am welcomed by the mask wearing staff member behind a lexan screen .... I must try the bank next ....:laugh:

AAHHAR , Me Hearties ..... well thats 62 been and gone .... was taking the motorbike to the dealers this morning. Recall on rear brake failure but 20 miles in the rain with only 1 working brake is not oN my survival strategy.....
So phoned the dealers, Manhattan Motorcycles of Sheffield ... told them i was not happy driving 20 miles in the rain with only 1 brake .. and said, truthfully, that the same journey in the dry was not an issue ... a lot of us motorcycle persons are front brakes only riders .... "Not your problem mate ... we'll sent a recovery vehicle to collect the bike" .... top chaps !!! All at their cost ...Ok RE's .. it's a recall after all ......:okay:
