not sure what we have in common with them (apart from competing for track days) and I can't imagine they'd give a toss about road surfaces, unmarked ice grit, riding gear, tar snakes etc
Me, I love trucks and used to own and drive a furniture truck, but as for us having the same interests? They're more likely to want the RUC reduced and to get more trucks on the roads, which i'm not that fussed on because trucks fuck roads and are a pain in the arse when you get stuck behind one in the windies. They'd probably quite like to see bikers in high vis vests too so they can see us more easily. I used to hate having a bike suddenly fly past unexpectedly because he'd been tucked up my arse - which is why I always sit in a driver's mirror.
MAG are engaging very pro actively with Cyclists and getting good feedback as I understand it
Now you're talking - cyclists and motorcyclists have a lot in common only there are more of them and they tend to have more money (if you look at the demographic data available), so work with them and do what they're doing which is lobbying the political parties and engaging in carefully planned and well orchestrated PR campaigns.
And if we were to form a Bikers Party that got into parliament, what would we demand? What are our issues? What does the government need to do to get our votes?
Don't blame me, I voted Green.
