Here's hoping

However I fear manufacturers won't pay much attention to this little island, and will give us what the rest of Europe gets.

We can still dream of biking nirvana though

We're still in the EU and subject to everything that we signed up to and implemented in UK law.

Legislation and regulations are much easier to pass than to discard.

So no, not in the short or even mid term.

As much as i loved my strokers back in the day,the general hassle of keeping one in running order would drive me crazy these days.

The government don't have the civil service resource to re-write every law to suit special interest groups such as motorcyclists. This means that unless we campaign specifically for that, we're scuppered.

The only thing I think we *might* get, (and it's unlikely) is a change to the motorcycle test to get rid of the stupid mod 1 and 2 system, and *maybe* get back the automatic license upgrade after two years. The rest you can't argue for, other than 'we want it'. The environmental and safety arguments are too great (even if perhaps spurious).

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

Do you think we will get the examiner running around with a clipboard back then.

I have a 2 stroke bike, it's Italian.

Look, it wont matter. They're going to build bikes for Europe and European regulations. We'll get the same bikes with different clocks.

They're not going to do specials for the UK. It wont happen no matter how much you want them to.

Leaving the EU will just mean the same laws we have now until the Tories can change the ones they want. Motorcycling laws wont even figure on their radar until they've at least sold everything off to their mates.

Also bear in mind, even if the government did change the rules, what if they put onerous requirements? Bike manufacturers will just fuck off the UK.


There's nothing wrong with the mod 1 & mod 2. The problem is younger riders having to take them more than once.
