I would therefore like to personally ask you to wear appropriate masks on the Great Street and to keep your distance. With the demo we want to set an example against discrimination against motorcyclists and not help the other side to put us in a bad light! - THANKS! See you in Nuremberg There are coming more events like this in summer 2021 in Germany! :scooter: |
I can't see what they're protesting against ?
Total ban on riding motorcycles at the weekend ? Surely not ?? |
Relax. I cannot imagine that a complete ban on m/c riding on weekends will come on the way.
The main issue is to reduce traffic noise. Several road stretches, which are extremely popular with bikers, have in the past already been closed on weekends for motorcycles. These are usually near larger towns with lots of bikers. The main issue is that many motorcycles (or riders) contribute extremely to high noise emission due to “sound tuning” resulting from illegal exhausts or muffler cutouts. Very often these individuals enjoy their “special” sound and keep the revvs high doh As a result communities are testing noise cameras, like in London, like in Switzerland and other countries. This is IMHO a sensible solution to the problem, as it doesn't only target motorcyclists but also (sports-)car drivers with very noisy exhausts. |
As Vaufi explained there certain tracks which are ridden by a huge mass of motorcycles at the weekends. This is causing an extreme noise disturbance in these areas and of course on all major roads who point to this areas.
Due to the german law it very difficult to close roads or to prohibit roads for motorcycles only by noise disturbance. Therefore a complex measuring system has to be the base for following legal actions. So towns and municipalities choose the easier legal way to close tracks by argumenting with a to high number of motorcycle accidents. Which is often the truth and caused by to high speeds on these tracks. Another popular action which is right now in the discussion is to act like Tirol in Austria. Tirol prohibits generally riding of motorcycles with a standing noise above 95dB(A). For a visualization how many tracks are closed or temporaliy closed on weekends in Germany, take a look here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer...0447805141&z=7 |
Its not only the noise ... yes thats one reason.
But there is another "great" idea in germany: Our "green politics" in germany are suggesting: To ban motorcycling in germany on sunday/saturday. (the whole day) doh The next HU-Meetings in Germany (weekend): "You can take part with your bicycle ...!" Nice try ... we have to take a ride! Thats only the beginning ... 2020-07-06 Munich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkHdamV6Ttk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXSddJTYvhc (sorry - only in german) For more videos, search on youtube: motorrad demo fahrverbot We are staying together! :scooter: Its time to leave our computers in germany and take a ride. https://motorcycles.news/wp-content/...g-1030x438.jpg Feel free to take a translator of your choice - German Newspaper: https://www.focus.de/auto/motorrad/l..._11995921.html https://www.welt.de/debatte/kommenta...radfahren.html |

I wish the demonstrators success.
I am no fan of leather baby suited idiots with 105 dB wah-wah toys and parades run by the Village People impersonation society, but that's what they should target, not a general ban on anything that triggers St. Greta's pantophobia. Andy |

I also wish them well but I fear the French way of doing things may not translate directly. What is the German for Gilet Jaune anyway? |
The problem is it might come to the uk one day, especially in wales, where there are lot of bikers
If only we all rode at a sensible pace with a quiet exhaust !!:scooter::scooter::scooter::scooter::scooter:: |

The British way around biker hot spots is to change the speed limit to 30mph and line it with camera vans :rolleyes2: |
No ban then ?::ban::ban:
|
Noise detection is coming too.
