We've got European beaurocrates over this side of the pond, who are still wanting to wrap everyone in cotton wool, now trying to dictate what we can and cant do with our bikes, they want to make it illegal to customize bikes,with a compulsory anti tampering proposal whether its a full chop job, engine tweaking or just a different set of pipes. They want ABS on bikes to be mandatory on larger capcity bikes also to make the bike test more stringent (another way of discouraging young people to get on to wheels) and some countries Like France and Ireland are wanting compulsory Hi Vis clothing. All these measures certainly seem to make getting into biking look harder and harder and as your man said, many younger people will turn to something alse, although as we know. it'll never be as good!! Feelings are pretty strong in the UK about it and a big protest run to Brussels, the EU Parliament HQ (Belgium) is being organised to voice our opinion on the issues, see www.motorcyclenews.com/backoffeu,for futher details if you're interested, this is taking place on Nov 21st. Lets just hope that people see sense and this nanny state nonesense gets called to a halt! Rant over!
SAFE RIDING.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
