:lol: Yeah - OK Mick - It's more about the "compulsory" dressing up like a Xmas Tree, and the threat of banning bikes older than 7yrs from urban areas (whatever that means?) :!:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

CB and myself did our bit, meeting at Gordano Services on the M5. Mr Shiny was there on his limited. Met another geezer on a Z1000 who says he's going to meet us at our next South West meeting (Sunday Week)

There was a fantastic turnout, with bikers from all walks of life meeting in the pissing rain to stand up for our rights to ride freely and without the EU tossists interfering in what doesn't concern them.

We set off north on the M5, and disrupted that a treat, rarely going over 30mph :D, we then moved East bound on the M4 and blocked that before slowing all the lanes of the M32 to well under 30mph.

CB and myself think that we should join MAG; they will need all the support they can get to defend our rights to do what we love most :twisted:

If the Eurocrats get their way we'll all be riding electric DullsVilles wearing dayglo suits :evil:

Great turn out at M40 Oxford services - will upload some photos later.

Hundreds of bikes rolling southboard on the M40 for 20 mins at about 30mph - should have only been 2 lines, but spread over all 3 and really created havoc - one or two car drivers didn't take it to well and started get silly.

MAG reps took lots of phots and someone was filming the convoy leaving the services - alos a couple of MPs joined apparently.

M56 between J14 and J11 slowed to 20mph, circa 2-300 bikes. Police even blocked the slip roads to allow everyone on/off the M-Way together.

Sadly, a few car drivers were non-to-happy at having their sunday day trips slowed and gave some abuse (noticeably from a safe distance though :lol: ) but most were very supportive.

Good turnout for the Corley Services (M6) run, about 500 to 600 bikes, maybe more..took all three lanes of the M6 up to the M1 Junction, Catthorpe interchange...Some poor sods Triumph 675 caught fire though :( :(
Police were ok and kept everyone back so motorists couldnt complain at us...Good show by everyone who attended and demonstrates what potential we have to be heard :D :D :D
I'd rather be riding my Z1 thinking about God than sitting in a church thinking about my Z1..
