Motorcycle Action Group (original) (raw)

The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) is a motorcycle riders' rights group based in the United Kingdom. MAG was formed by Dennis Howard, Mick Griffiths, George Potter and Mohar Singh. The minutes of the first meeting held on 28 June 1973 identified MAG as being committed solely to the preservation of motorcycle freedom and continues "M.A.G. is opposed to all oppressive and discriminatory legislation aimed at motorcycling". The underlying reason for this meeting was because of proposed legislation to make the wearing of a motorcycle helmet mandatory when riding a motorcycle on UK roads.
