Al that’s the least of our worries after reading that there is some nasty legislation on its way.

I don’t know what western region MAG is doing about the run yet, will post in the meets and ride out section when I know more.

Really? It wasn't compulsory when I took my test (10 years ago)

I suppose with ABS being fitted to everything new it's deemed irrelevent now?

More cars on the road, less stringent testing for new UK drivers, no re-testing for Euro-immigrant drivers and WE have to endure more ineffectual 'safety' legislation to stop ourselves getting killed on the roads? Cretinous idiots! >

Didnt they tell you to slam the brakes on when the instructor hit the dash with a book did on mine, his head hit the windscreen when i did it wasnt wearing a seatbelt then lol but it was a very long time ago.

I know Taff thats the least of the worries but never knew that so thats why i mentioned it.
Good evening at Castle Combe though Weds.

I will join the day of protest ride. The day I have to ride with a dayglo vest is the day I give up riding >

When I took my car test almost 13 years ago the emergency stop was one of 3 manoeuvres of which they'd choose 2 during the test - the emergency stop, parallel park and reverse round the corner

[b_m1957]

10 years ago it was one of (parallel park, reverse park), one of (reverse round a corner, 3 point turn), and potentially emergency stop also.

I could only 2 of the 5 consistently so got pretty lucky!

In conjunction with MAG, could WB keep us posted of any times, meeting places, etc? I for one, will be there no matter what the weather. The latest proposals could be the nail in the coffin for motorcycling as we know it, so we must act to preserve our hobby/transport/jobs/way of life. Maybe WB could organise a meeting place prior to riding to our nearest motorway services?

I emailed all the local MEPs :-* :-*

: one sent an auto reply that office shut until end of August---fookin overpaid interfering useless part timers >

This is total crap in its entirety. Who the hell is behind this tosh ?

This is a bad nightmare about to be foisted unnecessarily on us all and lose many real taxpaying jobs.

I am thinking that this could well be the final straw.

ABS !!!! Dayglo !!! Urban Ban !!! Fook 'em all > >

Contact your MEPs and MPs and any other big gobs ya know---this has gotta be stopped !!!!
