I know you lot don’t give much credence to MCN, but they have been mischief making (again) regarding the BMF’s response to the Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA) bike.
Motor Cycle News, the weekly newspaper, has been running a story over the past few weeks about the ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) bike. It has also carried a story in this week’s issue (23/8/06) which says that the BMF has given the ‘thumbs up’ to the bike. This is untrue and is misleading. Below is an article written by BMF spokesman Jeff Stone for the BMF magazine, Motorcycle Rider.
If they ever put that in Bikes… I’m going to make a living out of taking it out - no matter how hard it may be… that’s going too far - we may not have a choice though, ehh -
Unless we all join the police force… - theirs must be unrestricted
It has been tested in 5,500 cars in Sweden and 50 cars over here.
The point is that if we and other motorised transport users are to defeat this type of technology, it must be on a civil liberties platform, because as can be seen, the technology will be up to the job eventually.
If you log on to MCN they are doing a petition about this , probably wont do no good as the government seem to regard its citizens as a nuisance rather than listening to what they actually want from them , but its worth a try i suppose,
I still cant see how they could ever allow it on the road and claim it safe as there will always been a need or a situation where being limited to a certain speed could be extremely dangerous. Plus I wouldnt feel safe not being in control.
MCN not telling the truth and soundling like the Mail but covering bikes 
I will start p1ssing £50 notes before that happens.
