The very idea causes extreme offence to me, and I'm not even a motorcyclist, and never have been.

Please can we have a ban on these tiresome people who seem to want to ban things.

More individual freedom and promotion of the 'live and let live' approach would be more to the point.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

I visited the page expecting to be offended by the petition, but it does look very like what is know on the internet as a "troll". Some of the fake signatories (most look fake) are a bit "off", I hope they pull it soon!

I was going to say its a shame that such a medium has been hijacked for such trivia, but wait a second - I guess the old paper petitions are exactly the same.

Furthermore, by lookign at the signatories, it doesn't put motorcyclists in a good light either. :(
