Somewhere safe and clean for a lid to be placed when being discriminated against at petrol stations.

I don't really have a problem. It either gets hung on the mirror or I sit it on the gloves on top of the front of the tank/clocks area. The mirrors is usually safe for either the little CBR or the SV, without any fear of it falling off.

If a supermarket is for any reason being an arse I stop shopping at them, as they ain't having my money if they've got an attitude. It's an easy solution.

Very rare that I ever take my lid off when filling up... I purposely keep it on, just to test if the staff ask me to remove it, and I haven't been asked yet.

On the rare occasions that I take it off to fill up, the Bandit mirrors protrude fairly far out, and are more than capable of supporting the lid without risk of it falling off...

Ride up, dismount, enter filling station and place helmet on counter. Ask staff to confirm you are over 16, tell them to put your helmet somewhere safe and dry while you fill. Exit to bike, yellow tape off the aisle you are using.Fill bike,with small amounts and regular stops to let it settle.Close tank and use paper towels to wipe down tank abd clean bottom of shoes.Remove yellow tape. Enter station and pay, retrieve helmet.Exit to bike. Re enter station, buy some mints.Exit station and ride off. As you ride out, mate rides in and repeats process. Point made.

If attendant ever tells you a nozzle contains thermalite the emergency fuel stop is on the wall outside.

Never been asked to take my helmet off.
When I have anyway, I've used the mirrors, bars, tank, place on the petrol pump or many other places appropriate at the time.

A specific rack would make it that bit easier for people to nick them if you leave it there while going in.

An upturned hook like bar that you can stick your helmet on at the side of the pump would be fairly ideal. That being said, I have no issue with taken my helmet off anyway, the mirror holds it nicely.

The reason for not placing helmets on larger mirrors is that the mirror could damage the foam I believe.

However, I don't see it should be a problem to place it appropriately.

Most bikes I've had have had under seat hooks for helmets. Though it's much more likely my tank or seat would be clean than the side of my bike where it would generally hang (though may be able to get it on the seat.)

some petrol station staff are a bit power trippy. i used the same one everytime i had to fill up and the staff were always nice, didnt bother their arse about the helmet as i have a flip front and had it open whenever i was in.

one day i got this completely arrogant woman though, to the extent she cut off the fuel before i began, and never bothered to even look at me to ask me to remove my helmet. lead to a bit of a debate telling her to step off her high horse and that if she had bothered to ask, i would have removed it no problem.

drove off and i happened to find a cheaper petrol station though, whose staff are all lovely Thumbs Up

Honestly, while I'm all for causing as much quid-pro-quo pointless inconvenience to kiosk mongs, I doubt we're going to win this one. Their gaff, their rules, and I can't see any angle of attack that might work.

I find that at most stations the pumps are such that I can pop my lid on the pump. If not I just hang it on the mirror.

I don't really see why peeps get a bee in their bonnet about taking their lid off at fuel stations.

I wouldn't say its decrimiation either as you'd have to prove they are treating you differently to everyone else. For instance if a car driver pulled up in a balaclarva would they be required to remove it?

As for religious garments then I think they have special dispensation.

Mine happily sat on my seat, wasn't worried about it being knocked off. Just be a little careful not to swing anything into it.. And it being blown off? I can't see that happening.. But maybe? :s
