I believe that if we want to protect our right to ride with the freedom of choice we currently have we need someone to be our voice. Mag is that voice. Even if we don't do anything directly ourselves join Mag and let them use your membership fee to fight on our behalf. Think about it, you know it makes sense.

The Motorcycle Action Group(MAG UK) is a lobbying organisation that exists to protect motorcycling from unsympathetic legislation that threatens the pleasure of riders.

"Gaining bus lane access" Jevo?
I thought bikes were still not permitted to use bus lanes though

Correct me if I'm wrong though mate.

You can use bus lanes in London, Birmingham and Bristol. (and prbably many other places I don't know about) There is an accessable bus lane for motorcycles on the A40 between the Newent turn off and the Over roundabout.

It would probably need some local camapining to open the other bus lane in and around Gloucester and Cheltenham. Otherwise a national agreement to open bus lanes to motorcycles in general.

Bazza,

just incase you were thinking of going (despite the bad weather) I won't be going to night (originally because we were going to have a J4R mod's meeting-now cancelled) because it's too cold and slippy for me.

I plan to go to the Mag meeting next Thursday night though.
