Tesco Inshes Inverness Fuel

Von K has is spot on.

Just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading this nonsense. I've been riding/driving for nearly 40 years and I'm yet to see a forecourt which is dangerous to put your put down because you'll get a bit of diesel on your boots. Even when I'm fuelling the truck, there may be a bit around but it's certainly not slippy!!

Getting off your bike and taking your helmet off is hardly the worst thing to happen and to me it's common courtesy.

If you are getting wound up about this, you need to get out more.........:rolleyes:

You post a reply. You then go back and edit it and add loads more about how upset you are. You then go back and delete the whole post? WTF ? :comfort
 
Same but different..............I was filling up my tank at the local fuel station then started filling those wee 2 litre Touratech(TUV) cannisters on the back of my panniers and some bloke comes up and says isn't that a bit dangerous having fuel on the back of your bike..............What happens if you have an accident?

I replied that if I had an accident I'd be more worried about the 34 litres between my legs!!!

I never fill my G650GS when I'm sitting on the bike as its damn near impossible when your *rse is sitting right on the filler cap!

FP.

Been to the Tesco petrol station at Inshes, Inverness a few times. Last time I was there, (a few years ago), I was told to remove my flip front helmet on paying!


My helmet was flipped open .... I would always remove a full face helmet without being asked, but thought this was someone on a power trip.

I declined, telling the cashier that of course I'd do so if it was a full face helmet, but mine is no different than a baseball cap.

I left the correct money on the desk and left. What a knob! Swore I'd never return.
 
Haha I can't believe I found this thread all the petrol stations over the UK and no probs and this one they are pure arseholes I'm always mellow but left there ragging, attitude pure crap felt like pouring the petrol down her neck and watch her burn from the inside out
 
Morrisons in Leominster: I was filling up the GS, popped it on the centre stand, opened the cap - no fuel, guy announces over the intercom "you need to take your helmet off" WTF, i say, waving my arms in the air at the stupidity of it, my mate is on the other side of the pump filling up his bike with an open face helmet on, face mask an goggles!!... i go to pay and i pulled my buff neck thingy right over my head to cover my face, the guy said it only applies to full face helmets, and if your face is covered with the helmet off well that OK!!! WTF is that all about!!
 
Well I went to Tesco Inverness over the weekend on the bike and system six and had no problem with having to take the helmet off.
I was in the capital for the Loch Ness Etape and refuelled twice.
Must be different assistants.

I can't believe that grown men get so upset about stuff like this. Fuck knows what you'd be like if you had a real crisis in your life.

There is no crisis pedro and was just pointing out I hadn`t been asked to remove my helmet and thought it made a more balanced view.........hey ho
 
It's well known that the terms of a contract have to be clear before the transaction. Therefore the instruction to remove a helmet has to be as prominent as the price, it's part of the 'invitation to treat'. If it's not there they can't impose it later, it would be the same concept as making an offer of say 50 pence per litre for the fuel after you've filled your tank. All negotiations of the terms of the deal need to be clear in advance.
But this really is the territory inhabited by twats, as the niceties of contract law are a bit tricky to debate convincingly from inside a crash helmet

They want a full picture of your face in case you ride off without paying. The number plate is not sufficient because it is the person who committed the offence that they need to be able to show a clear picture of in court.

I dont think - Quote Motorcyclists can be caught by front-facing speed cameras even though they don’t capture our number plates, a court case has shown.

Steven Skilton, 22, pleaded guilty to six separate speeding offences after being linked to speed camera photos by tiny details on his motorcycle and clothing. An expert who usually helps identify murderers and armed robbers from CCTV footage had pored over the images and found similarities such as the same single missing fairing bolt in each one.

The photos included one showing Skilton, from Ellis Road, Southampton, pulling an 82mph wheelie in a 30mph zone. Southampton magistrates handed him an 18-month ban, a £600 fine and no less than 39 points in his licence – six for each speeding offence plus three for riding without control. - unquote.

You dont have to remove your helmet to get charged going through a speed camera . . .
