Customization to be outlawed in EU
From
via - Bubble Visor
via - corpses from hell
"Sign this, here's the link
e-petition
Reject EU (Motorcycle) 'Anti-tampering' legislation, this included Art 18 & 52, that will prevent owners customising their bikes and/or using after market parts.
Responsible department: Department for Transport
This will automatically become UK law
soon and it means that bikers will not be able to customise their bikes
in anyway or use cheaper (still safe & approved) 'after market'
parts making it too expensive for the average rider – None of these
directions make any sense at all and will not improve safety in anyway;
just line the pockets of the large foreign bike manufactures.
Bikers wil be singled out by the police and stopped and emissions checked; this is discriminatory.
They also propose to ban filtering through traffic, which would be
dangerous for air-cooled machines that could blow up in traffic and is
the extreme of nanny state interference.
Banning of motorcycles over 7yrs old in Urban areas.
Clearly the EU intent to eradicate ALL motorcycles in the future and
this is the thin end of the wedge...nanny state at its worst and it must
be stopped right now!
This EU legislation must be rejected by the UK government ."

THE BIKERS CREED
THE BIKERS CREED
1.I ride because it is fun.
2.I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.
3.I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.
4.I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone.
5.My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself.
6.I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex. I learn everything I can about my machine, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well-being.
7.I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn it’s limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.
8.I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.
9.My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be.
10.I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.
11.I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them.
12.I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.
13.I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be bitch-slapped.
14.It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me.
15.I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.
16.I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers.
17.I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them.
18.I will stand ready to help any other bikers that truly needs my help.
19.I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself.
20.I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where-ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one.
21.I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.
