Infringement of human rights I would say. If road tax is paid you have a right to use ALL public roads.

Although various education programmes targeted responsible motorcyclists, there was "sadly a significant core" who visited north Wales and other areas, intent on speeding. Tactics used by the police would have to change, he added, with covert means used to trap speeding motorcyclists who were "blighting" the weekends of other road users.

so by the same logic, if there's a small group of car drivers "blighting" an area with loud music, exhausts and poor driving the best way to combat it is to ban all cars...


i swear, most of north wales police must be related to each other

How the f**k is banning bikes 'thinking outside the box'? It's not thinking at all

...and in one fell swoop, Geraint Williams manages to undo all the goodwill generated through initiatives like "bikesafe" by alienating all bikers.

What a ****! If I was one of those coppers who had given up my own time to run a bikesafe event I'd post him a turd.

Wasn't that said about getting rid or leaded fuel, congestion charging? Try green parking at Sheffield http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads-an...parking-scheme if you want to see how things get excluded.
