(a) that's not a hijab
(b) that has nothing to do with being a muslim - it's not religious dress.

Hahahahahahahaha <breath> hahahahaha
You must be having a laugh
Scort.
Think about the number of people who actually wear things like that in the UK...
It's definitely not an advantage if you're trying to be incognito in the vast, vast majority of the country.

You find it equally difficult to identify this person:

It's not the same at all when you're claiming that non-muslims are being unfairly discriminated against. A hijab is a religious peace of clothing, like wearing a cross. A niqab (what you posted) is not a peace of religious clothing. Comparing a niqab to a motorcycle helmet thus has nothing to do with any pro-muslim discrimination that you might think exists.
....because someone never changes their clothes? If someone rode off looking like this:
What are you going to say to the police? "I was robbed by the Stig"?
and this person:
of course that person can be identified.
I think you misunderstood my point. My point WAS that someone in a hijab can be easily identified whilst someone in a motorcycle helmet cannot. Thanks for agreeing though

Excuse my lack of middle-eastern womens dress knowledge, in that case, I was thinking "hajib" was the pepper pot dress, which would be harder to ID from than a helmet for certain.

TBH I hate removing my crash helmet just to fuel up. Takes me bloody ages to get 'comfortable' in me lid with neck tubes etc but when I have to remove the thing at a garage it never feels quite right. I ride a quadbike every day but tbh I have only been asked to remove it once to which I went up the road to the next garage.

They shouldn't be driving anyway, that letterbox can't give good peripheral vision, and what actually keeps it in front of their eyes.
Actually, Come to think of it, I'd pay to see one riding a GSXR1000 or whatever the stupid number of a 1000cc bike are.
helmet's are bulky things. it is a royal pain trying to keep it in one hand while doing everything else done with the other. the reason why i prefer to keep mine on i because it is out of hte way on my head.
i question the efficacy of removing helmets as crime deterrants. is petrol theft that rife?

he is robbing a bank.
how does this have anything to do with stealing petrol?
hmmm, this bit puzzles me, never had a problem removing my lid while sat on any of my bikes, maybe being 6ft 2" and having long legs helped.
Ride into forecourt next to pump. Both feet down, gloves off, lid off and placed on yoke or on mirror, fill up. Put side stand down, go and pay, put on lid, gloves, get on bike and ride off.
I know of bikers who have been told to get off the bike before the pump has been switched on, but never round here.
When i used to commute and used a tankbag, it got a bit more of a hassle but not as much as when i used the VTR1000 for commuting, in winter 130 miles from tankfull which was great as it was around 100 miles a week commute, but in summer that dropped to around 80-90 miles from a tankfull, damn that 16ltr tank and 48mm Carbs.
And the OP's attitude is some thing that wont help bikers and how they appear to others. Matey boy in the garage may think all bikers are like the OP and give em all grief in future.
Taking lid on and off is 2nd nature to me, even with gloves it wasnt a problem. Did make life easier having a Shoei with the seatbelt buckle and not D rings, but even D rings can be undone with gloves on, granted summer gloves.
I drive a car and I find it annoying I have to take off my seatbelt open my door and get out the car, I normally try and wave someone out to do it for me.
Jeez I had a moped when I was younger and never had a problem with it, are you lazy or something?
