AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL AND BIKES

I know you lot don't give much credence to MCN, but they have been mischief making (again) regarding the BMF's response to the Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA) bike.

Motor Cycle News, the weekly newspaper, has been running a story over the past few weeks about the ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) bike. It has also carried a story in this week’s issue (23/8/06) which says that the BMF has given the ‘thumbs up’ to the bike. This is untrue and is misleading. Here is an article written by BMF spokesman Jeff Stone for the BMF magazine, Motorcycle Rider.

Why should I believe something on the internet, it says right here in black and white the BMF support it, everyone knows you shouldn't believe anything on the internet. Wink

Hi
IMO is unfeasable (is that how you spell it?) for many reasons.

1.Will they have to fit this to EVREY vehicle in britain? If so who pays for it and how?

2.Will it be for NEW vehicles only? If so we will all go round on second hand bikes, and keep fixing them if they break, instead of buying a new one?

3.Will it be british cars/bikes only? Could just pop accross the sea and get an import.

Plus dont we (the public) get a say in this. Surly its passed onto our local MP's who will not back a plan like this to go ahead. AFAIK I cant see it being very popular.

If it happens im just gunna blow up the houses of parliament with gun-powder or something.

Well if the BMF supports it then I think riders should vote with their feet and cancel or not renew their BMF subscruption next year and walk off to the MAG instead , since the BMF have obviously been infilitrated by government agents which act against the biking cause.

also Map , it is not based on GPS but Galileo the EU GPS which claims to be 0.5 metres accurate pretty big claims for a system that doesn't yet exist ,

such projects are supposed to justify the cost of Galileo , also GPS has a degrade facility , so some nut can't enter GPS coordinates into a GPS guided bomb.

If it's GPS driven...

'Honest officer, can't have been speeding, my bike don't let me'

If it's speedo driven, I'll have mine driven from the front wheel, please Very Happy

In reality, I think bike organsiations should be against it - I like going over the speed limit, as do many others.
I do /not/ think this will reduce deaths significantly.
Yet again, we try to regulate rather than educate Rolling Eyes

then vote with your feet and next year don't renew your BMF membership or cancel your current sub,

nothing else works.

Btw sickpup whatever happened to that shop that refused to fix your tyre or lend you tools for tyre fixing?,

Hi
Can anyone explain how easy/hard something like this would be to through parliament?

Would there be any way to stop, or could the gouvernment just force it through.

We are supposed to live in a democracy, but parliment rarely seems to represent the views of the public.

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

Sometimes our webmasters have trouble keeping up with the issues Sad

This issue and others are through the logo on the top right hand side "Campaigning Write to Ride Website" this is going to be changed so that it actually says what it is.

The tiny url is a way to get round posting very long links as the actual Campaigning website url is https://campaign.publicaffairsbriefing.co.uk/home.aspx?cid=bdce7270-76f1-4ac7-baa7-4f63210ed1d4

Hope this helps.

I agree with Lukes comment above, i can't really see it happening anytime soon purely because of the logistical nightmare of rolling it out.

Hurrah for the MAG , the BMF will lose me as a member permanantly quite soon , they don't represent me any more.

I'd advise you to do the same ,

remember to tell your friends , so that they tell their friends so that they tell their friends and maybe when the BMF starts losing masses of members they may start to represent us again.
