EU to tamper with Motorcycling

Don't allow the EU's proposed laws about motorcycling to come into effect. It will cripple the biking community and would not make the roads safer, as driver awareness (or rather their lack of it) is the main cause of motorcycle accidents, not tuning motorcycles.

we must decide for our selves whether we are in the EU or not please sign this petiton

We've already got a couple of active threads on this. The best way to fight it is to stump up 25 quid and join MAG. They are the only organisation with any teeth that are actively campaigning against this proposed legislation.

Also, there was a public consultation not long ago which many of us on this very forum responded to. I hope you did too, because the petition will have the same effect as a perforated condom.

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

Jaysus, think the OP may just have missed the boat on this one. Its been a hot topic around here for 3 months OP. Some of us even went on a protest ride 7 weeks ago!

It's not obvious from the drive-by spam, but this joke petition is about withdrawing from the EU or something, not just about the proposed FUN IST VERBOTEN regulations.

Which I actually agree with, but I'm still going to rate it as Redundant, because we don't have a "drive-by spammer twunt" rating.
