Legislative to make you give up biking?

Fine

Along with every other person that involves themselves in a "higher risk" activity. Be it a teenage canoeist, horse rider or eldery hiker? Car drivers too I suppose (if the benchmark is a bubble-wrapped hermit), not to mention drinkers and party-goers.

Do you reckon the NHS would refuse to assist someone who didn't pay? Might as well completely switch to the crazy American system.

Please admin remove.

Like anyone in Government even know what an SV650 is. On the off chance they did they would also know that it is ridden by responsible law abiding citizens and if they were to bring in any of the suggested legislation they would immediately lose a substantial portion of their vote, be out of a job, and they and their families would die penniless on the streets.....

Hmmm. But we all know they are on a mission to get bikes off the road... They don't seem to like freedom any more here.

being made to ride with circular cutouts in my jacket/cold killer over the nipple region may heavily influence what time of yearr i ride but otherwise would adapt as best i can to any new cr*p they bring out.
