BMF highlights Bus Lane Trial cover up

Last Friday the BMF put out a release hightlighting the "Bus Lane Trial Cover Up".

The British Motorcyclists Federation have accused London Mayor Ken Livingston’s office of putting motorcyclists lives at risk by failing to authorise the use of London’s bus lanes by motorcycles.

Apparently along overdue TfL (Transport for London) report has been leaked which shows
that accidents were nearly halved over a three-year period on two trial routes where motorcycles were allowed into bus lanes, with a 42% reduction in the rate of collisions.

So I'm sure like me you'd have thought that would have been the green light for motorcycles to be able to use bus lanes in London. No wrong, think again. Its motorcycles scooters and mopeds we're talking about here not pedal cycles!! The anti-motorcycling attitude rears its head again.

Apparently Mayoral staff have now ordered a re-write of the report to avoid a green back-lash from the cycle lobby. Luckily for us bikers the BMF will now be making a formal complaint against the Mayor who is also Chairman of Transport for London.

Ride safe!

More anti-biking crap, but MAG fights for us all!

Well thank god for MAG battling away for motorcyclists rights in the UK. The latest crack pot thing to come out, is that the Home Office propose to increase the statutory charges for the removal, storage and disposal of motorcycles by the police, by a whopping 300%.
That's a flat £300 charge and an additional £15 a day storage.

MAG have responded to the consultation process (which closed on the 25th Jan) by
" highlighted the totally unjustified 300% increase and brought to the attention of the Home Office failures in communication between the police, insurers, and the recovery companies which results in unnecessary delays in the release of impounded bikes and escalating costs incurred by the biker"

Well lets hope MAG get this proposal put in the bin where it belongs.

Ride safe!

MCIA speaks up for motorcycling!

David Taylor, chief executive of the Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCIA) is calling for government, legislators, local authorities and transport planners to start treating motorcycling as a serious and relevant alternative to the use of cars and public transport.

Well about time too! Why oh why is motorcycling constantly ignored in the UK, as a viable alternative form of congestion reducing transport! Thousands of people use motorcycle, scooters and mopeds to commute to and from work or just to get from A to B. Motorcycling is a cheap enjoyable form of transport, yet it's IGNORED!!

Read the full text of the MCIA press release on this topic on the www.inter-bike.co.uk website by clicking here.

Plus here at inter-bike we'd like to know what you think?

Ride safe!

New Motorcycle Book Reviews

Just put two great motorcycle book reviews up on www.inter-bike.co.uk. Both reviewed by leading motorcycle journalist Ian Kerr.


The first book is entitled Motorcycle by Steven E. Alford and Suzanne Ferris and as Ian sayes:

"The book charts the evolution of the motorcycle and the resulting effect on society right up to the current perceived modernist object that is ‘designed to unify the rider and machine in perfect balance.’"











The second book is entitled Ballington Unkorked and is the autobiogrpahy of multiple World Champion Kork Ballington. As Kenny Roberts says in his forward, just like his racing, ‘when he did, he did it right’.

30th Dakar Rally cancelled

Is a sad day for motor sport enthusiasts and motorcycling generally when the Dakar Rally has to be cancelled due to terrorist threats.

The Dakar Rally organisers the A.SO. stated today:
“Based on the current international political tension and the murder of four French tourists last 24th of December linked to a branch of Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, but also and mainly the direct threats launched directly against the race by terrorist organisations, no other decision but the cancellation of the sporting event could be taken by A.S.O.”

A sad loss for us all who enjoy motorcycling and a terrible disappointment for the participants and organisers and an even greater loss for the continent of Africa!

Ride safe!
