End of an era for Royal Enfield

The longest surviving production motorcycle in the world, the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 350cc has reached the end of the line as far as British bikers are concerned. Stocks in the UK are down to the last 100 units and no more will be imported, killed off by ever more stringent European emissions regulations, the 1950's engine cannot be adapted to meet the new regulations.

So its a sad farewell to the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic!

Ride safe.

European Commission Motorcycling Survey

This is a plea to motorcycle riders, scooter riders and moped riders within the European Community, if you value the freedom to ride your machine as you do now, free from motorcycle speed limiters and alike then I urge you to make your views heard.

MAG UK have again brought to the fore the threat of bad technology from Europe, whereby an international consortium of new technology designers has been brought together by the European Commission to develop new devices capable of informing, or limiting, motorcyclists control over their bikes.

YES BIG BROTHER CONTROLLING YOUR BIKE AS YOU RIDE!!!!

Tell the European Commission what you think by completing their online survey questionaire before then end of August, visit http://www.saferider-eu.org/your_opinion.html

If you don't register your opinion to stop this happening, the future of motorcycling as we currently enjoy it within the European Community is seriously under threat.

Ride safe.
