I order at the drive through and ask them to bring it out to me.

They've never refused.

If I'm in a good mood I'll try to balance my order on the tank, but this never really works out and I end up waddling the bike over to a parking spot, drink in hand and all.

I miss the days of the R125 with the fattest double-bubble screen ever where you could plonk your drink into it and it'd just sit there being perfectly cupped between the fairing and the screen.

That's about the only time a double bubble screen has come in handy on a 125.

I went through the drive through last week, wearing a flip up helmet. Ordered my food and went round to pay and the manager had a 10 minute rant at me about how they couldn't serve bikers not wearing helmets. I couldn't understand his point, i WAS wearing a helmet. Wouldn't be legal to ride otherwise...

I never really get this argument. Who wants to walk around inside a restaurant in a helmet plastered with insects?

Personally, I hate wearing one indoors, at all! I'd be pissed if I had to take it off to use pay at pump, and will seek out pay at pump to avoid the faff, but sod filling up and then standing inside a petrol station, in a queue with a helmet on!

OP doesn't understand removing a helmet in a restaurant, but does when buying petrol..

Really?

Really?

I had my first experience of the new way to buy Mcdonalds at the Longwell Green branch. It wasn't better than
the old way. The staff were running round in circles, there was a huge pile of food waiting to be sorted and bagged. I'd only
gone in for a side salad and some fries because they had no salads in KFC where I'd already bought the bulk of my meal.
I could see my salad sitting there, and there are always chips ready so I got all stroppy about why I was waiting for food
that was ready to take. An absolute farce. Won't be back until they know what they are doing in there. The queue for the
drive through went out of the gate and onto the road so no better that way either. I very nearly had a Falling Down moment. Brick Wall

Lastime I went to Mc Donalds about three years ago I was told they couldn't serve bikes via the drive through because of health and safety.

If their concern is that you're about to rob the place, what exactly does asking you to remove your helmet achieve?

The only rational response to that belief is to hit the alarm the moment you walk in the door.

We're not talking about rational responses though, we're talking about bored mongs blindly following half understood orders created by faceless corporate spergs out of spite.

Is it always just about potential robberies though; maybe sometimes (eg in restaurants) it's because nasty bikers in helmets might be perceived as being scary or whatnot to mere civilians?
