Actually, it would kill the secondhand bike market stone dead.
Looks like my toybox would be worthless then.......the Storm is the newest bike I own....... :lol:

I read the proposal paper via the MAG site. In fact, only France wants this, after 2017 and only in some built up areas, so no-one is proposing a Europe wide ban on bikes over 7 years old. Looking at the state of some of the cars over there, I think they have a way to go yet before they get to bikes.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

I spoke to MAG and they confirmed that the proposal will be carried through in October this year. The remaining debate is only which sections get carried and which do not. Thats what I was told.

Got a bit wet, but there was a great turn out on M40 Warwick services N. Saw Lloydie, and I think Uptonpark was there cause there was a yellow one with super bike bars parked up.

yeah, i was there with a mate on his v-strom, saw your bike but no other storms, went all the way to the services on the m 5, got drenched and got back for the wife to say they'd had no rain at all,and i only live a mile from the services on the m40

it was dry for most our run from ferrybridge,just a very light shower as we got to bradford

massive turnout too,more than the police thought would attend by the look on their faces..someone estimated around 1,000 bikes,scooters and trikes attended...i did see a few nice sp1/2's and 1 firestorm and no trouble either...

Jut filled in the e petition, only 11,670 signatures so far, which is a bit poor.

BUMP

For newer members who are not aware of this.

Anyone who hasn't seen this please have a read through as this affects us all. It looks like it's going to now affect cars as well so the fight should spread onto a larger scale. :thumbup:
