My bikes off the road at the moment - but I'm hoping to take my Scooby along to show solidarity with the riders (and keep dry if it's raining that day LOLA raft of issues emanating from Europe will have a profound effect on riders and the motorcycle industry generally. We must stand up and be heard. Some of these are driven by the EU Commission, like the new Type Approval and Market Surveillance Regulation that will see the introduction of compulsory ABS, the sealing of powertrains from the airbox, through the engine to the final drive (including the diameter and aspect ratio of the rear tyre), restrictions on the aftermarket industry, possible roadside checks by police or other government agencies to inspect emissions, detect owner 'tuning' and more.

Join us to keep EU Hands Off Biking, it's time for Action now!.
On the 25th September you can make your voice heard. Starting from service areas across the country, we all ride at 1pm, 45mph, using the inside lanes and disperse 20 minutes later. Negotiations are ongoing and as citizens we must be considered. This is the first time. Let's show what we could be capable of.
The list of start points is changing all the time, but as of today we can confirm the following, or see it here, visually http://tinyurl.com/Action-Now-EU-Hands-Off-Biking
