I assume all you Brits here went on the ride out last years to protest against this. 40,000 bikes on the roads that day, let's hope someone listens to us

| | Posted : 09 Feb 2012 - 12:49 Post title : Re: e petition (Re: lockey) | | | quoted from the e-petition -
''This will automatically become UK law soon and it means that bikers will not be able to customise their bikes in anyway or use cheaper (still safe & approved) 'after market' parts making it too expensive for the average rider – None of these directions make any sense at all and will not improve safety in anyway; just line the pockets of the large foreign bike manufactures. Bikers wil be singled out by the police and stopped and emissions checked; this is discriminatory. They also propose to ban filtering through traffic, which would be dangerous for air-cooled machines that could blow up in traffic and is the extreme of nanny state interference. Banning of motorcycles over 7yrs old in Urban areas. Clearly the EU intent to eradicate ALL motorcycles in the future and this is the thin end of the wedge...nanny state at its worst and it must be stopped right now! This EU legislation must be rejected by the UK government ''
Most of this is impossible to implement anyway. There is no emissions testing with bikes even in the MOT - so that could only be done with brand new bikes from time of new bill. If they stop bike modification then they will have to stop it for cars - will this include police cars? - they too have to follow the rules to be 'roadworthy'. No way can they ban 7+ yr old bikes from urban areas - thats dead from the word go. I thnk the author is going too far with the 'blow up' remark - sounds a bit naff.

Agree with whatever laws and rules anyone suggests and then implement nothing and let everyone else moan to their hearts content when they do. Think of the money we could save as a country if we ignored Brussels

why?
because they have been horrified by the "semi" they endured when watching a leather clad man go past on a deep throaty sounding bike
so to encourage their denial regarding their sexual persuasion they apsire to despotic means
