from airbox to rear tyre size, compulsory headlight use, onboard
diagnostics etc

Then there's the threat of compulsory day-glo/reflective clothing as is
proposed in our neighbours Ireland and France.

And the power for the authorities to make roadside checks of bikes for
'road worthiness', as part of the broader pan-euro road worthiness
proposals advocated by the private companies TuV and DEKRA.

We should also show our support for the French who are facing a ban on
filtering and a ban on bikes over 7 years old being used in urban areas.
