Whirly. . The 'no helmets nonsense' has now been passed to the cyclists because they are next in line for this rule. (and they have formed a powerful anti helmet lobby group). MAG actually has a helmet in its new logo much to the disgust of some of its members.
You may be interested/surprised to know 5 states in the US have now re-pealed their helmet laws and more will follow. They have found the motorcycle deaths reduce by up to 50% when the rider is left to choose.
Pandalet - Perhaps you need to join a club that is totally sympathetic to your particular circumstances. . Trouble is I think you might be the only member.
The
Overview page is just the overview. The
Campaigns page lists the recent campaigns but better still the
Position statements page lists the battles fought (and ongoing) so people can enjoy motorcycling as they do now in the UK.
Maybe the HCGB should have similar web pages?
So I do empathise with Biggles point of view. .
