Nicked from another forum and not seen it here so

What is this? Sounds like that grumpy old sod who tried putting that petition through. Stating 'facts' he'd pulled out of his arse.

That was done by that 'transport expert' bloke who doesn't even own a car. Pay it no mind specifically.

However, yes join BMF or preferably MAG (or both) and do it now. I can guarantee that if you like biking its one of the best £20 you'll ever spend.

https://www.mag-uk.org/

We should be allowed to ride motorcycles on the road if we want to. No civil liberties element even entered the document above, and why the hell not I say? Why should the government tell us we can't ride bikes just because we might hurt ourselves? Who are they to tell us we shouldn't be taking that kind of risk??

Even if you don't like bikes, then MAG is a beneficial organisation as it campaigns for motorcyclists rights, which by extension includes an element of civil liberty which is sorely lacking in our current society.

Fuck Gordon Brown, Fuck Zanulabour, I don't want ID cards, I want to be able to ride motorcycles if I choose, I don't want my emails and phone calls monitored. I'm not a terrorist but if "Yuou've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to worry about" is the only FOR argument for most of this stuff, then I want no part of it.

I want to be able to live my life without interference from some fat old scottish bastard in Whitehall. Especially if the legislation/measures are brought in 'for my own safety'.

Join MAG now, its the least you can do. Then if you still feel strongly, donate to these people:

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

If you scroll up a bit you'll read that bunch of crap was from Memorandum from Association of Chief Police Officers.

Scroll down a bit, to the bit about seat belts, they want to make it an endorseable offence, tho forsee a problem endorsing the young unlicensed.

I imagine that cvnt in North Wales put his oar in, tho it does show what a complete waste of space the police are, having nothing better to do with their time.

There's probably some Baaa-ritish sheep nodding along to the recommendations that all bikes should be banned off the road because they're dangerous "toys". to that.

It could happen. Don't forget what has happened to trail riding in the Uk because of powerful lobbying in Parliament by The Rambler's Association. People said there was no way that Parliament would legislate to restrict rider's trail riding rights. They were wrong.

ACPO is listened to by MP's and is a much more powerful lobbying force than The Ramblers.

Join MAG now unless you want to see motorcycling become an increasingly marginalised/discredited thing by groups such as CTC, ACPO.

Is there a production bike that has standard could do 200mph on the clocks? Let alone a true 200mph. I believe that tarty MV is the fastest at 193mph. Not sure about the Desmo, But I'm fairly sure for the cost of what I would pay for a desmo I could get a car that goes 200mph.

But you could also argue that if the report is saying "Our congested roads are no longer fit for purpose for these motorised toys"

Means that they need to start building roads that *are* fit for purpose!!

(I know it isn't likely to be interpreted in this way, but that is one way of interpreting it!).
