Removing Helmet in Mcdonalds?!?!?

[andyscooter]

way I see it

if you are going to talk to a person then I take the lid off

if I'm using pay at pump I wont but if I go inside I will take it off to pay (unless I am in my local petrol station that knows me and they don't speak much English anyway)

wouldn't think of doing my shopping with one on as you are inside a building with people you may bump into a mate or someone you know

and you also look like a dick walking round in a helmet in a super market

if buying a mcdonalds on the bike I would take it off as it would be eaten inside as I would be having a break from a ride so would want to sit and chill for a bit anyway

op or anyone

would you walk into a pub and buy a pint with a helmet on?

What is the world coming to? Just because it's only McDonald's, does not excuse us from standard etiquette. Chaps take off their caps indoors.

It could be worse I suppose. I have seen people in my local McDonald's still wearing their bed clothes

So you are one pin about ten thousand biker that come inside for a take out

It took longer to moan on this thread then take the lid off

As said if speaking to anyone that's not my local station for fuel who know me then I do anyway as politeness

Talking on a forums OK but met in real life I would want to see your face to talk to

Would you turn up to the bcf bbq and wear your lid all weekend

You don't want to get attached to them so keep it on

Back in the 1980's I regularly walked into petrol stations, pubs, McDonalds carrying a shotgun/rifle/semi-automatic pistol, .357 revolver (all licenced & legal), no one ever passed comment on my slightly Ramboseque attire. So I suppose the solution to the helmet conundrum is to always visit McDonalds heavily armed, the staffs' attention will focus on your firearm, thus saving them any distress regarding your helmet, with the bonus of utter joy on their part when you merely purchase a burger instead of robbing them.

I believe some are offended just because Muslims aren't told to remove their headwear and we don't like double standards.

Going back on topic, i think it's slovenly to wear bedclothes OR helmets into an eating establishment. Not because of hygiene or health and safety, but because I'm old fashioned and lots of other people still are. But it's arbitrary formalities like this that make us British. I've seen cyclists having similar arguments about horse riders being allowed through the drive through, but cycles not being allowed in store.

Is this shit still a thing?

Would you go to the pub with your mates and wear a helmet?

Is basic human decency dead?

[Bonnie Lad]

Moaning about being asked to take your helmet off in situations where you should probably have taken your fucking helmet off anyway is a basic right of the British biker.

It's only a matter of time before some cad pops up on here with a 'my dickhead dentist said he wouldn't do me a filling until i took my helmet off' thread
