[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 160228, member: 5012"] Excerpt from this months MAG Journal which sparked my interest regarding the forthcoming changes ahead, which will have an effect on us all if we are still alive.... "Let us be clear – the ICE motorcycle ban is real and it is imminent If you have thought or been told by anyone that the ban of ICE motorcycles will never happen, you can now have no doubt. The delayed consultation has been launched and 2035 is not the preferred outcome of the policy makers. Colin has been quick to arrange an initial meeting with DfT officials – this took place on 21st July (exactly one week after the launch).
