Hit the road...

Welcome to the first ‘Hit the Road’ Cumbria Bike Show!

I think Cumbria Riders have been crying out for their own ‘full on ’bike show for years and so hopefully this is the start of things to come!

First and foremost, as a biker of many years I wanted to put on a bike show, secondly I wanted to raise money for a good cause so I am really pleased to be able to donate ALL the profit from this years show to the North West Air Ambulance and the Great North Air Ambulance. So thank you for your support A special word of thanks must go out to all the volunteers who have helped create the event, without them it really wouldn’t have been possible.

I sincerely hope you enjoy all there is on offer at Cumbria Bike Show, have a great day! And tell everyone what they missed so that it can be bigger and better next year.

Motorcycle Action Group Hundreds of bikers will leave motorway services throughout the UK at 1pm on Sunday September 25th, to ride along the motorways in convoy. The ride, organised by the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) is intended to draw attention to a raft of EU proposals aimed at motorcycling. 70 meeting points have been arranged with more being added daily and will take place around the UK at exactly the same time.

Using the inside lanes and riding at around 45mph, the bikers will ride for about 20 miles before dispersing.

A proposed EU Regulation threatens the right of owners to modify their machines, and yet another one, which aims to harmonise roadworthiness testing, would single out motorcycles for regular roadside checks. Besides the EU proposals, domestic legislation in France will undermine motorcycling as part of an integrated transport policy and the rights of those who ride, because the French Government intends to: • Make all bikers wear high visibility/ reflective clothing • Prohibit filtering between cars in traffic jams • Prohibit bikes over seven years of age from urban areas

visiting from abroad.

UP TO

15% DISCOUNT

The Irish Government is also demanding that bikers wear full sleeved high visibility jackets.

MAG’s Campaigns Manager, Paddy Tyson said “MAG is determined that the onus of blame should not be shifted to riders in an accident situation where a 3rd party didn’t actually look and conspicuity arguments are irrelevent. Both French and Irish Governments have failed to provide research to support their ideas and MAG is concerned that the insurance industry in the UK may impose compulsion, when educating all road users in hazard avoidance, would be more effective”.

Regarding the EU Regulation, Paddy said “The motorcycle industry has been under severe pressure recently with new licensing directives disuading riders and what our congested roads need are more bikes, not increased legislation to discourage them”.

The demonstration is also intended to express solidarity with French and Irish riders.
