MAG Protest Ride
Today thousands of bikers took to the major roads around the UK to register their objections to proposed EU legislation. This is supposedly in the interests of motorcycle safety but addressing the cause of 0.07% of accidents whilst destroying the jobs of thousands at huge cost to motorcyclists seems to be missing the point in my opinion. If you then take into account that the cause of 70% of motorcycle accidents, i.e. poor car drivers, haven’t been taken into account in any point of the legislation and I can’t help but feel that this is legislation for legislation’s sake.
It was heartening to see so many bikers turn out to support MAG (Motorcycle Action Group) in their fight against this nonsense. The gang pictured consisted of myself, the Old Dragon, David my little brother and my niece. We met at H Café just outside of Oxford and proceeded to join the ride South down the A34 from the Didcot services. We were quite near the front of the group but looking back in my mirrors there were bikes filling the inside lane at 40mph for as far as I could see. Let’s hope those in Westminster take notice. Fluorescent jackets, restrictions on modifications and restrictions on the age of vehicles allowed in urban areas are not wanted here. Instead go away and teach car drivers to keep a proper lookout for other road users.
