It's all very tedious http://nickpoint.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/citizensmith.jpg Citizen Smith... This is a character from a COMEDY program... Yes, people just laughed at his character. I will repeat my statement that this is nothing more than a waste of time and money to all motorcyclists who take part in this protest. The government won't listen, and won't care if you hold a go slow or hold up a couple of thousand people from getting to work for an hour or 2 one morning.... You will probably spend more on fuel than the government will lose because of your protest it will be that useless because THEY WILL IGNORE YOU AS IT'S NOT MAKING THEM ANY MONEY!!!... Oh and let's not forget all the Police hanging around the protest that will check out as many bikes as possible for illegal numberplates, exhausts, uninsured riders, untaxed vehicles and all the other stuff they can (Rightly - no matter if you like it or not) do you for. Will probably be a nice little earner for the government!! I am not a pessimist, I am simply an intelligent well balanced man who can stand back, look at both sides of the argument, see why some things are done and make my decision. If the Police want to bring down some speed limits (And yes I agree with everyone that some speed limits are stupidly low!!!!!) then let em. They won't cover the whole country with speed cameras. Well not in our life times anyway. Their are some awesome roads out there that I go around a lot, thrash my bike on and see incredibly large amounts of other bikers. Yet never any Police. Never any speed cameras, and never see or hear any bikers having accidents. That's why the Police don't bother with them. The C&F, the A6 and the Via Gella have been reduced on speed limits for one reason. Bikers keep crashing on them. If bikers didn't crash the roads would be largely ignored. Yeah it annoys me, but I ain't gonna fight the government because when they see me as a biker on those roads they feel they must slow me down. It's not a surprise when you look at the stats. You know what though, each to their own. Go on your protest and think that you are accomplishing something... Should be a good day out if the weather is up to it.
