Re:Removing Helmet when fueling? 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I wear a full-faced helmet with the flip-up face. I love this helmet as it protects my face well, and the whole front of it conveniently flips up for a cold one or a bite to eat, and it works really well when refuelling the bike too. I can understand the "uncovered face" in security reasons for gas stations, no helets. .....I wonder if those laws apply to those that cover their faces for "religious reasons."?

Re:Removing Helmet when fueling? 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
They shoot you off your bike here in GA too, but it's more figuratively than literally.

Drive off without paying and they'll report your license plate to the DMV and whoever owns the ride (be it bike or cage) gets their license suspended. And since just about all the stations around metro Atlanta have video surveillance they get you whether you know it or not.

I got a flip-up model, so unless it's a long trip I don't take my lid off.
