The May issue of Bike Buyers Guide has just hit the shops and in this issue we take a look at the upcoming local and European elections. Specifically we examine the role of your MEP in Brussels and the effect of EU policies on motorcycling and beyond.
Bike Buyers Guide
As riders, we tend to see the EU as the bad guy and the past few years have seen a significant focus on motorcycling with issues like Type Approval and Roadworthiness Testing taking center stage. For better or worse, the EU will determine the future of motorcycling and your MEP is the only one who has a vote in that process.
How much influence does your MEP have, and how best do you make them aware of the need for a balanced approach where motorcycle related legislation and regulation are concerned?
Read our take in the new issue of Bike Buyers Guide.
