Have just been sent the following... As you are all law abiding bods it should cause anybody any concern shouldn't it.

On another note this may mean that other types of crime will increase whilst this essential work is being carried out.


***********************
A Police and Local Council operation
is taking place. Between 12noon and 4pm, on Saturday 1st July.

The plan is to stop EVERY bike coming in to Weston. Some will be given
roadside checks, frame/engine numbers, numberplates, document checks etc.
Those that haven't got a correctly stamped Exhaust, or fail on one of the
other points will be sent around to the Police station, where an area is
being set up to measure the exhaust noise and more stringent checks can take
place.
Some bikes failing some of the checks will be impounded.
The initial stop and check points are located around the town centre, mainly
on routes leading to the two Bike Parks in the town. Carlton Street Car Park
(Scallys Pub) and the Seafront (Tourist Information Center).

Please pass this on. This is not a joke.

Good job I was there last weekend.

Sounds like a rather stupid move by the council, WSM benefits from biker's money throughout the season and especially from the beach race in the off season.

Be bad for them if word gets out that Westeon is anti biker.

Maybe an email to the chamber of commerce is in order.

Its a gonna be a hot weekend for the Rozzers stood in 30c heat pulling bikes over.

Tempting to get a group of us 'all road legal' to ride in and out of Weston all day just to keep them busy.

Then go and rob a bank round the corner!!

Good idea - but where are you going to find a group of "all road legal" Ducatis? :look:
