Right To Ride reports that EVSC (Electronic Vehicle Speed Control) is back with a vengeance through the re-introduction of the Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) – or – speed control system in a European Union (EU) Commission funded project called “Saferider”.
If the project consortium gets acceptance for the throttle control system – by default – because there is nobody to protest and nobody to challenge them, then what will stop the proposal of compulsory throttle control in the not too distant future?
No To Throttle Control! – On Facebook – It’s Not All Speed
You can now join us on Facebook to support us against Throttle Control.
As riders we may not understand all the technicalities of the link between the throttle and the control and stability of the bike, but what we do know is that the balance of riding, accelerating, braking and cornering on a motorcycle requires full control of the motorcycle without interference with the throttle.
The red line for us is clear: We say – “No To Throttle Control”

The BikersRVoters website is still very relevant even after the dust of the 2010 General Election settles.
As those politicians who take up their seats or return to Westminster ‘corridors of power’ at Right To Ride through BikersRVoters we will continue to lobby for a proper informed intelligent engagement – both ways – with our political representatives.

Following on from our successful petrol station campaign we are further raising the issue regarding removing helmets in petrol stations.
What is the actual scale of the problem? Or is it just easy to adopt a policy of helmet removal without consideration of genuine honest law abiding customers who wear a motorcycle helmet.

We have just had news through that the motorcycle discriminatory signs at the petrol station in Newtownards have been REMOVED!
Before we got started it has all finished and a big thanks must go to Syd for highlighting the problem in the first place and Brian for his letter writing, both from the Lone Wolves Brotherhood.

Right to Ride is backing the “No To The Bike Parking Tax” campaign.
The campaign is a non-political action group representing motorcyclists and scooterists who object to illegitimate introduction of parking levies by Westminster City Council and any other authorities.
Isle of Man
16th March 2010
Just as Right To Ride got involved in publicising the “Cancellation of Reciprocal Health Agreement”, we received news that the Reciprocal Health Agreement will remain in place for a further six months.
Cancellation of the agreement would have meant that all medical service fees apart from A & E, would have had to met by any person visiting the Isle of Man and this would have meant taking out travel insurance .
