i still don't think they would get away with banning bikes.
lots of people would be out of the job over night, the people working for the dealers etc etc. also companies who have invested in facilities in the UK, bike production, maintenance, tracks would probably withdraw from the UK market if the machines were made illegal, there's little financial sense remaining in the UK and paying our labour costs, import/export fees and so on when it is all cheaper abroad.
political ramifications:
unemployment figures will rise sharply
they will loose plenty of votes from all the pissed off bikers
it'll effect the economy
and there'd probably have to be some sort of compensation handed out to companies aswell as bike owners right?
and there's probably more. but the first 2 they will want to avoid and would probably cost them the next election.
they probably will try to, i have no doubt. but they won't be able to justify it. ____________________ please do not touch as fondling may excite |

Of course, you could join the BMF or MAG and then you'll know that someone is watching your back.

Why not ban all cardigan wearing, tree hugging veggies from our beloved land & make them take their freedom bus passes (& Volvos for when the buses are full) with them.
Friggin buch of asswipes that we just don't need in this country, tell them that in Sweden they can live a happy recyclable life talking to flowers & little fluffy bunny rabbits whilst we the ignorant can happily kill ourselves riding lethal motorcycles that are so loud that they scare off crows for 25 miles around.
Just a thought.................................but what a happy one! ____________________ I am me & you are he & we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun! |

Not made in the UK, so why should the government care.
base wrote: | and every other manufacturer? |
That would be Triumph (mostly exported) and CCM. About it really.
They will switch to selling other imported items.
Doubt the government really care. No racing means no tracks, which means no whinging letters from Mrs Miggins complaining about the noise.

Might well happen, just do not expect it to be as blatant as MCN make out.

Aye, but also a hell-of-a-lot of taxes they would no longer be getting, on racing, fuel, road tax, MOT,corporate tax from insurance companies and all other inductry related to biking.
Anyway that 15 years away, i'm not gonna worry now! ____________________ LOOK AT DAT M8 WELL LUSH A PARROT INT IT |

They haven't actually banned smoking afaik, I thought it was just in pubs and clubs.
Maybe they'll ban motorbikes in Nightclubs... ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Not really. Suspect that any tax from products used for racing is more than wiped out by healthcare costs, and any raod use taxes would be made up for in people travelling by car instead. Tax losses would be pretty much non existant.

Having been riding for 19 years and having over a dozen bikes more than 15 years old, 15 years time doesn't seem that far away.
