EXTRA EXTRA read all about it!!!                

Heres Phoebus Katsanos with the latest news:
        Do you know that those "I ve got a grate tie and no brains" guys in
Brussels have been deciding whats good for us without us?
        In order to show that they are doing something for the monney they
get they have decided to make a multidirective for motorcycles.
 Topics are: 1. Noise.
                   2.Design protection.
            and 3.Bike safety trainning.

1. Particularly in the noise subject, they want to make the noise limit 80
db. All normal @s have 82 db let alone those that have aftermarket parts!

2.  As for the design protection thing it smels like Big companys trying to
make a monopoly on spare parts.

3.The bike safety training seems to me that will make a 750 bike like the AT
less obtainable since already in many countrys you have to own a smaller
bike for some years and then you can blow off some steam with a bigger one
in YOUR THIRTYS!

 The contents of those laws are not exceptable by any member of FEM
(Federation of European Motorcyclists). I dont wish to go to details here,
since it would result in a very big letter.
I dont pretend to know those matters very well, but i know that law only
forbidens things i like!
I DONT WANT ANY MORE LAWS ON MOTORCYCLES!!!

 If you feel the same:
 Write a letter to youre local Member of European Parliament now!
 Inform youre local and national motorcycle clubs to do the same!

The vote is scheduald to be April 23/24 in Brussels.
