MAG EU Protest September 25th 2011

 On September 25th 2011 the MAG organised a series of runs to heighten awareness to proposed law changes to motorcycling in the EU. The draconian measures would change the face of motorcycling and the regulations would restrict the right of bikers to modify their machines, and it is also thought as a result they would single out motorcycles for regular roadside checks.

Campaigners are also concerned at French legislation which would ban motorbikes more than seven years old from urban areas and would require all motorcyclists to wear high visibility clothing.

The runs across the country were all coordinated to leave at 1.00PM and travel at 40mph. The effect on traffic was there but minimal and most passed without incident.

This small gallery of photos were taken at the run leaving the Warwick Services on the M40.
