Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

All those points the council is trying to prohibit, except sounding the horn, are illegal anyway and covered by existing law. As usual in this country existing laws are not enforced and new laws are layered over the top which won't be enforced either until we live in an illiberal bureaucratic mess.
What happens when 100 bikers who have never met happen by chance to ride the same route at the same time without prior arrangement? And the ban will cover "all motor vehicles". Will all the car drivers in a convoy of slow moving holiday traffic be jailed for organising an illegal drive-by? Its ridiculous. Too many council leaders with too much time on their hands being paid far too much money with too little accountability.
They will try to enforce this nonsense and when tested in court they will loose and the public, as always, will pick up the bill while the council leader who dreamed it up, with their inflated salary and gold-plated pension, will remain untouchable and unsackable.

It's the bloody internet and it's annoying ability to give any Twat with access to a keyboard to have their whiny little voice heard and cause a problem.

Er.......oh bollocks. Paradox.

Anyway, what he said, stupid nanny state policed by PC do-gooders and NIMBY supporters.

Next time we want to see if anyone else fancies a ride down to West Bay for a cup of tea, will we have to use the dark web? I hope not. I have enough trouble with this web.

Calm down everyone. This is happening in Essex. It isn't like it was a civilised part of the country to begin with. How do Essex lovers turn the lights on after sex? Kick the car door open. Many many more where that came from :-)

Typical nanny state stuff :-(
Just googled it and apparently it was a ride out in memory of someone who had died.
But if it applies to 3 or more bikes what happens if you ride in from out of town and they spot you ?
Although do people go to Harlow from elsewhere ? Interesting question....
