Motorbikes take over

Motorbikers plan to take over central London this evening:

Over parking fees?
Surely as a protest over parking fees it would be more pertinent for them to collectively park somewhere.

I am with Tom, a mass Park in across a major road

I am not sure but I am pretty sure that might be illegal. Obstruction of a carriageway.......?

In London how would you differentiate that from traffic?

i walked out of my office into this. loads of bikes, revving their engines.
beeping of horns.

Good point.

On my way home I was directed away from the area at Westminster. I had to go sarf.

Ironic, given that I was on my motorbike. Maybe I should have said I had come to join in :-)

motorbikes take over

every fucking 'bus lane'
whats this stupid '18 month trial period on selected bus lanes ' crap all about cos it might as well have been all bus lanes from the start or not

I think it's cute.

I agree. It was cute. My last delivery was in victoria, and I didn't know about the motorbike protest. I was very stunned, and quite happy, to come flying out of a street into three million motorbikes, who nicely made room for me to squeeze in and through to the other side.

I rode through Victoria on sunday. There were flippin' loads of Vespas (or were they Lambrettas) everywhere! Was that the same thing or just a geeky scooter forum ride?

Ok, I just read the article. Nothing to do with it. Looking back they seemed a lot more cheerful and didn't look as though they were protesting. Anyway...
