Title: Motorcyclists ride to protest anti-motorcycle proposals

Motorcyclists in the Philippines have had enough of anti-motorcycling policies introduced by the government and local councils. We think the UK is bad but how would you fancy a pillion ban, not being allowed on motorways or dual carriageways and having to paint your registration number on the back of your helmet. That is, if you are allowed to wear a helmet.

Unbelievably, those are already in place or being debated in the Philippines.

Title: May be time for change

Right, given that the business is currently getting by but not putting us in the black, and the fact that I rarely get to ride these days, I am thinking that it is not worth having a £2000 bike sat outside my house when I could sell it and have a £500 bike and a welcome boost to my bank account of £1500 to help us get by.

What bikes would people recommend that I could get for around the £500 mark these days. Don't mind a bit of a do-er upper as I tend to have more opportunity to tat with bikes than ride them.

Any suggestions appreciated grin.gif

Title: Escorted Run from the Scottish MAG

E-mail received today .....

Hi

You may remember signing a petition calling on Edinburgh City Council Transport Infrastructure and Environment Committee to review and reject proposals set to abolish dedicated Motorcycle Parking within the city's controlled parking zones.

This is just a quick e-mail to update you on developments.

Thanks to considerable numbers of Motorcyclists contacting the Council to object to their proposals, it is being suggested by City Development, that a further review of Motorcycle Parking provision is undertaken prior to any changes being made.

While we welcome this suggestion and are willing to work with City Development to seek sensible alternatives for under utilised bays, we non the less wish to make it abundantly clear to the council the strength of feeling among Motorcyclists and Scooter riders to any widespread reductions in this valuable resource for riders, living in, working in or visiting the City.

To make this point ahead of the Transport Infrastructure and Environmental Committee meeting on the 27th July where the proposal is to be voted on, we have organised an escorted run from the East end of Regent Road, via Princes Street, Lothian Road, Melville Drive and the Bridges returning to Regent Road

All riders are urged to assemble at Regent Road at 11.30 for a 12 noon departure on Saturday 24th July.

Help spread the word. Further details http://edinburgh.mag-uk.org/

Ride Free

Best Regards

Steve Wykes
Regional Representative
Motorcycle Action Group (Scotland)
