The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) has announced that 5th and 6th July will be marked as Riders’ Resistance Weekend, a two-day national event with demonstrations across the UK. This weekend of action is in direct response to growing anger within the motorcycling community. The Government’s continued dismissal of riders’ concerns, and especially its plans to phase out the sale of ICE motorcycles, has sparked widespread frustration. MAG is organising regional demonstrations throughout the UK to give riders a powerful opportunity to take a stand.
