I was on my 1910 Indian w/sidecar.

When I removed my helmet and put on a wool fedora (helmet-hair), I saw a woman at a desk in the branch staring at me.

I got to the door and it was locked. The lady motioned for me to remove my hat and, when I complied, she hit a button and unlocked the door. She told me they were instructed to not let people who "in disguise" enter the branch.

Next time, maybe I'll wear my Santa suit.
