Sorry I disagree ved should be based on weight on the road or on the fuel.And if someone wants to ride a motor bike with shorts, T shirt and trainers and not wearing a crash helmet that should be down to them same as seat belts, and jail for loud exhausts get a lifePersonally given that bikers make up 20% of fatalities and a growing percentage of serious accidents I would be in favour of increasing it to the same rate as cars + mandatory safety clothing + prison sentences if your caught with loud racing exhausts, doing wheelies on public roads and thinking that 30yds until the bend is plenty of time to overtake safely.
Needless to say I haven't signed

Ridden bikes for 16yr, not one hiccup yet (kiss of death). Loud exhausts, have a word with yourself, that'd be every Harley and sport bike off the road, bang goes your road tax, safety gear, if you don't wear it you should have to pay your own hospital bills for being so Fecking stupid! Again, please look out for bikers we are a wee bit vulnerable on the roads, plus car drivers don't take kindly to losing wing mirrors when they cut us up or nearly total us
I'm not sure if I will ever ride again
But signed both petitions in support of those that still can.
As for the comments about jail time for loud pipes, ok I promise to only ever use the stock exhaust on any future bike.
But in return we get a life-sentence for motorists who utter the infamous "I didn't see you", and the death penalty for
those that have to say it to a motorcyclist they have maimed through their inattention.
