As for the helmet thing, its no wonder they want people to take off their crash helmets before serving them, with the amount of armed robberies that take place with people wearing them to hide their identity. Thats just a sad sign of the times!

Can you back that statement up with any statistics taffy? It is exactly that sort of urban myth that gives us bikers with a bad name. When asked by one garage to remove my lid I asked on what grounds, was given that reason. I asked if that garage had ever been robbed my someone on a motorcyle. He said no. So I said he had no grounds for assuming I was more likely than a car driver to rob the place, in fact if the place had ever been robbed, then statistically I was less of a threat than a car driver.
