That's great news. I first came to hear about this from "That bloke on a motorbike", it's things like this that we as motorcyclists need to start pushing back on. The public perception of motorcyclists has been undermined for decades by media and politicians and enough is enough. Where I live (Scotland) you only ever hear about motorbikes when someone gets killed, but you never hear the same for car users. It's all very anti-biker.

One of the protest rides I was involved in was the ban on learner motorcyclists on the new Queensferry crossing. We got learner motorcyclists on to the old Forth bridge. Otherwise, it would have been a long diversion via the Kincardine bridge for them. We need more members everywhere, especially in Scotland. So go ahead and join MAG.

What you're missing is that once they've banned the sale of new cars and motorcycles, be it in 2030, 2035 or some other year or even if it never ends up happening, there will still be millions of cars and motorcycles on the roads for as long as we can keep them going. The thing we need to fight is that they will start to ration the petrol, either by increasing the cost until it is completely unaffordable or by limiting supply. The result being that you are unable to use your petrol car or motorbike!

Well done to all involved in this. The decision to try and outlaw motorcycles from Whitby station car park appeared to have been arrived at without any prior public consultation. It smacks of arrogance on the part of the decision maker as he or she didn’t think the m/c community was anything other than a disorganised oily rabble. The signed were rather amateurish, contained a spelling howler and failed to cite which (if any) of the “Byelaws” (sic) would be contravened. Heartening that the Railway company finally caved but it’s clear they would not have done so without coming under pressure from MAG and others.

Excellent, well done guys. It just proves how nonsensical the regulation was in the first place, just a we don't like it so ban it mentality! The battle to stop the ban on the internal combustion engine is going to be tough though, it might be worthwhile to combine forces with other affected groups, like the car world. Personally, I will never buy or use an electric powered vehicle of any type, but I think thats what they want ultimately, for no one to have personal transport, so it is an existential problem. The vast majority of people are just sleep walking into the void though, they have no idea of what the elite are attempting to do, so it's vital that the word is spread far and wide. How about MAG getting bike dealers to offer MAG membership at the point of sale of every bike sold, maybe with a sweetner of some kind? Many bikers also drive cars so it's an easy way to get the message over. Just a thought, I know you guys are on the ball.👍

As for electric vehicles, its been shown time and time again, they are ultimately far worse for the environment from mining the rare earth materials needed, to disposal of the limited life batteries. And how will people recharge the EV’s ? - already we have the “woke” politicians saying please don’t charge EVs, use home A/C, washing machines etc at certain times, because the sabotaged (limited bas-load power due to insane reliance on unreliable renewables) Power Grid can’t handle the load. Utter stupidity from virtue posturing, ignorant, self important politicians the world over.

@@heleti0000 Agreed. However, I recently saw Jeremy Hunt being interviewed on the power grid and for the first ever that I've seen he stated that the grid had to have at least 3 times it's prevailing capacity to cope with future demand, and in fact work on increasing capacity is in progress. So they are serious about the electric car scourge. Problem is, they are still intent on increasing wind and solar generation, as those are the only so called renewable sources available with existing technology. Still doesn't resolve the base load issue though. Until fusion becomes commercially viable, if that ever happens, the only other solution is nuclear. That's a 10 year minimum build though and very expensive. So with their existing green agenda they will be looking to reducing consumption, so it's easy to see where that's going!

Northern were always going to have to backdown, they would have been in contravention of the byelaws laid down in the Railways Act so wouldnt have stood up if taken to court. Banning notices were possibly actioned by someone at Northern far exceeding their authority. Just enforcing a ban would have to be done by the Railway Police as only in extraordinary circumstances do the "normal" Police get involved in anything taking place on railway land. MAG please press for more m/c bays at the station, you may find support from Whitby council, the town thrives on tourism & anti m/c sentiment is rightly in decline in this country.

Yah I don't think that is a big deal regarding the ban on the sale of petrol vehicles in 2030 or 35 as probably by then none petrol bikes will be better than petrol bikes. Also where are you going to get your petrol from if petrol stations stop selling petrol and turn into charging stations. Electric motorcycles can be very good, what we are still waiting for is the main companies to produce those really good electric motorcycles. There was a university that made an emotircycke that travelled the world, why was that never put out on the market with a few tweaks to suit everyday riders. I'm in favour of electric bikes they ride better than gasoline bikes, so smooth and responsive very little noise, the cops don't even know your there until you pass them silently. So their not ready to give you a ticket for going a little over the speed when they are doing their checks, you mostly only ha e to worry about the automated systems 😅.
