Extract from Motorcycle Action Group website:
"A raft of issues emanating from Europe will have a profound effect on riders and the motorcycle industry generally. We must stand up and be heard. Some of these are driven by the EU Commission, like the new Type Approval and Market Surveillance Regulation that will see the introduction of compulsory ABS, the sealing of powertrains from the airbox, through the engine to the final drive (including the diameter and aspect ratio of the rear tyre), restrictions on the aftermarket industry, possible roadside checks by police or other government agencies to inspect emissions, detect owner 'tuning' and more."

There will be a number of protest rides from various starting points in the UK on Sunday 25th September. If you care about having the freedom to change your air intake, exhaust or many other items to use non-standard equipment that is not factory approved and fitted in the future, and I guess that will include pretty much all Harley owners, you may wish to join the protest.
