Hi Nick,
Your last post on this subject (I think it was you?) had a very strange effect on a forum I copied it to. The (MZ) Skorpion group are a bunch of fun chaps, plus the fabled Gorgeous Biker Chick, mostly based in the UK with a bias towards Scotland. We all enjoy single four-strokes, but our discussions range even wider and more humorously than I've ever seen anywhere else, including here!
Anyway, the founder of that group has now left us, purely because he cannot tolerate discussion of moto-legislation. He sees it as scare-mongery and mostly aggrandisement of individuals employed as lobbyists by such as MAG. Apparently his views saw him pilloried in a criminal fashion by members of a bike group not a million miles away from the origins of the Skorpion, and he could not countenance the same happening with us.
A bizarre reaction indeed, but it begs the question as to how confident you are that these are real issues? I tend towards believing that motos are on the hit-list of Euro officials because, of course, they are the single most dangerous phenomenon of modern civilisation....
