MAG Demo tomorrow

[Cogs]

Anyone from the West Mids coming to the Birmingham demo tomorrow?

"I appreciate that many of us work shifts/ have families/ live far away,
but I urge you all to to make it to Birmingham this Saturday, 2nd July
for the Brum Demo.

Things are changing fast within Europe and complaining after the event
is often too late, so Brum this year is to draw attention to the following:

The Euro Regulation on its way through the legislative process that
desires compulsory ABS/ linked brakes, anti tampering on the powertrain
from airbox to rear tyre size, compulsory headlight use, onboard
diagnostics etc

Then there's the threat of compulsory day-glo/reflective clothing as is
proposed in our neighbours Ireland and France.

And the power for the authorities to make roadside checks of bikes for
'road worthiness', as part of the broader pan-euro road worthiness
proposals advocated by the private companies TuV and DEKRA.

We should also show our support for the French who are facing a ban on
filtering and a ban on bikes over 7 years old being used in urban areas.

Please come along at midday for a 1pm start to

Hare and Hounds, Lickey road, Rednall B45 8UU

It's been a long time since riders have publicly demonstrated their
feelings about ill-judged legislation from Europe.

I hope I'll see you there

Kind regards"

MAG demo

I for one will be on the demo but i,m afraid we,ve got a long way to go till we can protest like the french. All over France towns and cities hosted anti legislation demo,s, at one event 5,000 bikes stopped on the motorway for a fag break!. Unfortunately apathy is endemic amongst British bikers and unless the majority wake up to what governments are doing the biking world is going to be very different

Sad but true

I'm disappointed at the lack of response, I just hope that the 'silent majority' are better at riding (for their rights) than typing....
