I've been asked several time at various places to A) Get off & B) take the lid off.
Mind you it was a bit much to have the ESSO at the top of the Dual Carriageway in Chippenham to ask my pillion to take off her helmet as well!!!! >

If it is health and safety to get off the bike, why aren't the wife and kids told to get out the car when filling the family car? Surely it would be more difficult to get out of a car in the all too often seen ensuing fireball than throw yourself of your bike??? :-?
