A Motorcycle lobby group is planning to bring disruption to motorways across the UK in protest over restrictive new legislation from Europe for bikes.
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) asks bikers to meet at service stations all over the UK before holding up traffic in 45mph motorway rides on September 25. The group is opposing a raft of European Commission proposals including compulsory ABS and measures to stop us modifying our bikes.
This demo aims to send a "warning" to expect more of the same.
Tuning could become impossible and even home servicing severely hampered under European Commission plans.
All new bikes could get so-called on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems capable of detecting non-standard parts and triggering a warning light until the ‘fault’ is rectified by a dealer.
One aim is to prevent any modifications to the 'powertrain' which rider groups fear could include anything from the throttle to rear tyre.
