Could be right fella - 3 or 4 young lads on motocross 125's I can understand but a guy in Rukka gear on a CBF.

I get that Exup but if I drove my car in with a sodding great beard, sunglasses and baseball cap on you just know you'd get served....or even anyone wearing a Burka. Remove it wouldn't even be mentioned. So, discrimination for NOT being of a certain religion or looking like a hillbilly??
Wasn't in the mood to go and argue the toss with the bloke and we're not talking about a young girl on her own in a remote filling station who would be scared - I get that and would remove my helmet.
This garage is well used, well lit and on a main drag. I've also used this same garage 2/3 times a week for the last 13yrs so not happy in the slightest - only filled up there with no issue on Tuesday at similar time of 6pm. Am off today so going back tonight when hopefully the same bellend is on shift to ask what the crack is.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
