Riders Get To Grips With Manhole Covers
20 February 2008
Carriageway manhole covers, especially on bends, can present a potentially lethal danger to motorcyclists but this could all change if revisions to the European Standard for them, proposed by the UK, is agreed. It is well known that over time some manhole cover surfaces become smooth and polished and if wet, very slippery, but thanks to the work undertaken by the National Motorcycle Council i.e. The British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF), Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE), Motor Cycle Industry Association MCIA, Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) RAC Foundation and Devon County Council, the UK committee working on the revision of European Standard EN124 have agreed unanimously to recommend a minimum ‘polished skid resistance value for manhole covers’.

Save Energy – Save The Motorcycle
07 June 2006
An EU paper entitled the ‘Reduction of Energy Use in Transport’ has been criticised by the British Motorcyclists Federation for treating motorcycles as a problem and not as an opportunity for addressing transport needs. In a broad-brush approach that fails to address the positive contribution motorcycles can make, the paper simply suggests that amongst other measures, motorcycle engines should not exceed 650cc, that they should be single cylinder and that they should have automatic transmission.
