The Motorcycle Action Group, (MAG), is a voluntary organisation, drawing it's membership from the whole spectrum of motorcycling. Whatever you ride (or even if you don't !) - MAG has something for you! MAG has produced a really good video trailor which is hosted on YouTube, it explains more in 4 minutes about MAG than I could ever say in a huge text, Please take 4 minutes, Go and watch it, - It explains a lot. MAG was born out of protest against legislation, introduced in 1973, making it compulsory to wear a crash helmet and has been campaging for riders rights ever since. Since then MAG has evolved from a single issue group to a highly respected political lobbying and campaigns group which is central to all aspects of policy and legislation affecting motorcycling. MAG operates at the European, National, Regional and Local levels. MAG can, and does make a difference. MAG really has 2 aims: The first is to defend Riders rights, which it has been very successful at since 1973 with many small victories The SORN ( bikes in bits in peoples sheds) Killed compulsary leg protection, Bikes in bus lanes, Secure free bike parking, Campagning against bike restrictions eg 100 bhp limit. Bikes do not have to pay the London Congestion charge. Anti skid Man hole covers.
The second aim is to have fun, A biker enjoys nothing more than meeting other bikers who share the passion. |
