West Midlands MAG Brum Demo 2011 part 1

Birmingham Saturday, 2nd July, the annual Brum Demo.

Things are changing fast within Europe and complaining after the event
is often too late, so Brum this year is to draw attention to the following:

The Euro Regulation on its way through the legislative process that
desires compulsory ABS/ linked brakes, anti tampering on the powertrain
from airbox to rear tyre size, compulsory headlight use, onboard
diagnostics etc

Then there's the threat of compulsory day-glo/reflective clothing as is
proposed in our neighbours Ireland and France.

And the power for the authorities to make roadside checks of bikes for
'road worthiness', as part of the broader pan-euro road worthiness
proposals advocated by the private companies TuV and DEKRA.

We should also show our support for the French who are facing a ban on
filtering and a ban on bikes over 7 years old being used in urban areas.

This was from the ; Hare and Hounds, Lickey road, Rednall to the City centre and finished in Broad Street

It's been a long time since riders have publicly demonstrated their
feelings about ill-judged legislation from Europe.

  • We had no police support from STensham either see my video. Thanks for the support bikers for life.

  • Motorcyclists can gain strong support from non-bikers who detest this kind of invasion of their own treasured areas of freedom. A motorcyclist friend took me carefully (and tolerantly) through all the tech jargon, acronyms and implications. Afterwards I signed the e-petition against the EU's planned Anti-Tampering Legislation. Explain to lay people so they give their support to your biker's protests. Help get sympathy and support from non-bikers like me. Hug a tree hugger today bikers!

  • SUPERB turn out., Pete and I over from France (where we are having demos) at 4.36 (me on Blue and White Suzuki and Pete on KTM. Well done all at West Mids MAG!

  • Buster and me at 4.02 on the blue sprint 900. Good videos.

  • There's me and Trace at 1:49 - Red Blackbird and blue Triumph Trophy, with Libby waving on the back of the Triumph.

    Good turnout, 500 bikes I heard - I saw Paddy Tyson counting at one point. Damn shame the police wouldn't get involved with the marshalling. That caused no end of havoc.
