I don't wear them either. I have regular hearing tests at work because of the noisey environment, apparently my hearing is perfect with no signs of degredation and I have been riding for 15 years

i always thought the correct thing to do when asked to remove a helmet was place all the nozzles on the floor and fuck off to another petrol station :D

Indeed it's been a grand week to be a rider :D Went to the national motorbke museum on Thursday, just the bottom 4" of zip done up, rest of the open jacket was like a windsock, very pleasant way to ride 8-)
Have wheels, will travel :D

Yeah, if you like cleaning the remains of innumerable dead insects off your visor, yes! :lol:

Dead insects are a good sign, remember in the days before Monsanto's Roundup when a car's headlamps could be almost blotted out after a short trip down country lanes?

I went through summer France one year and had almost no dead insects at all.

However none usually reach my visor anyway as the windscreen and wind blast from it directs them away :D

As for earplugs, I usually use 3M earbugs on a blue plastic frame they come on, comfortable and takes only a moment to remove- and still pretty good at sound reduction.

It's when you've got dead bugs on your visor after a short trip down memory lane you need to worry! :lol:

I think Andyscooters answer is the best one - leave the nozzles on the floor and use the next one. :mrgreen:

Shell had a policy of asking bikers to remove helmet before they would turn pump on,I won't use a Shell garage even though they have lifted this ruling (allegedly) It needs a group of bikers to pull up and comply ie take helmet etc. Off then put minimal amount of fuel and put all of your gear back on and go and pay but wait till point of payment before taking all gear off again pay then stand in the way and put your gear back on ride round block and repeat the procedure.
I won't take my helmet off when putting fuel in as I ride a single seat bike with nowhere to put it secure,my helmet cost more than some of the shitty cars that fill up so they can piss off

My son put just his gloves on his clock as he went in to pay and they were stolen, in the middle of winter too.

Best Mark.

I use several Shell garages locally and aren't asked to remove my helmet.
