Fred, that sounds like a very bad situation if you are a motorcycle
enthusiast. It sounds like you need to organize and mobilize your fellow
motorcyclists and demonstrate for your rights !! March around your capital
building, and support the politicians (with money) that support your
position.

Don�t cry, in Holland: roadtax for my bikes (younger then 25 years) about
55 dollar, but for my car (rangerover)about 800 bucks a year. Every year a
mechanical test for 34 bucks (for every car but they thinking about bikes)
redicules soundregulation, every mile a speedbump or in my hometown about 1
every 100 meters.And if there is no speedbump then there is a trafficlight
at nearly every crossing, Petrol 1 dollar a liter,
We have a female minister who made it her mission to be sure cars becomes so
expensive you can�t drive it, and she hates motorbikes because they are
dangoures.
