Threat to bike trackdays that could easily spread to cars - your help needed
Yes I know we do car days but there's a big threat to bikes that if we don't help to stop could easily spread over to cars..
You've probably already heard about this but... a deranged MP is trying to push legislation through that could make it very hard for track bikes. It will sneak through if we don't all make a huge fuss about it now... The info I have is below - please take the time to take some action now - it'll take you 5 minutes.

Dear all
Some of you may already know about the proposed Off Road Registrations Bill, a Private Members Bill which recently successfully passed its second reading in the House of Commons – the first time a Private Members Bill has achieved this stage of development for over 30 years ! With a high and growing level of back bench support (119 to 19 in favour), the potential for this Bill to become Law is becoming all too real. If you don't know about this Bill, check out this link…
What planet are they on? | Feature | Motorbikes | Motoring | Telegraph
Following the second reading of the Bill, the ACU has held discussions with the MCIA, AMCA, NORA, BSMA, YSMA, BSPA and MCRCB as to the best way forward for the industry in light of the proposals. Further face-to-face meetings will be held this week and next to further refine the position of the sport.
The ACU has also lobbied the DCMS, DEFRA, DVLA and MDUK ensuring all agencies are aware of the significant and damaging implications of the Bill, as it is currently worded.
The ACU is strongly encouraging all of its' members to write to their local MP's and express their concern about how damaging this proposed legislation will be to law abiding organised motorcycle sport.
The next stage of the process is Committee stage, where the Industry and Sport (MCIA and ACU) hope to be in a position oppose the Bill and table amendments that will defend the sport.
If you feel you would like to add your voice to the growing anti Bill Lobby, you can sign the Number 10 e-petition at this link…
Petition to: ensure that the use of mini motorcycles, mini motos, go-peds and mini quads is controlled by the use of the current law pertaining and not by the introduction of new quick fix ill thought out and unenforceable laws.
Alternatively, you can drop a line to your local MP…act locally! Template letter can be found at the following address:
The Motor Cycle Industry Association Website -
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. If you have already done either of the above – and I strongly suspect many of you will have so thank you – forgive me for contacting you.
If you have not, your sport needs you!
If you would like to know more about the Bill or the work that the ACU is doing with its partners to protect the sport, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards and best wishes
Dave
