Some of us have a right to worry, knowing the EU this will pass, knowing how we take it up the bum from the EU we will implement it and then i'm looking at not being able to enter city centres.

This keeps getting banded about as if its gospel. Its just one biased misreprisented interpretation.

Theres a search function for a reason.

Constant reposting of the same thing just gets boring and dilutes the message.

Why would it make my bike illegal? Oh, the completely untrue bit about not being able to modify your bike, that bit.

There are a few listed that state a few reasons, if you have a K&N air filter that can be used on a race bike and a road bike then you can't use it, anything that modifies power would be illegal.

Now think about our goverment and their hatred for high power motorbikes, anything to stop power modifications they will jump on full force, the main point of this thread was to get the petition link up as the MAG protest properly won't do anything.

Dont you think that the aftermarket suppliers of cans, filters and every other bit of biking stuff wuld be on to this more than the biker? Loss of sales and redundancies for a start would see the striking french revolt, the italians cry, the germans invade someone and its only the brits that would roll over lol
