Generation Terrorists required! For a Manic Weekend!

Bus Lanes in Bristol - Fighting the Multi Directive - VED Reductions - Congestion Charging in London - The Sandwell Strategy -Wheelies, Burnouts - Stoppies - Donuts.

How did we do that?

MAG is famous for organising manic weekends for all our group members, officials and affiliated club reps who really want to make a difference. It does not matterif you have been a member for 5 minutes, 5 days or 15 years; you are invited to reserve a place at our next weekend at Matlock, Derbyshire early next year, 16th - 18th March 2001.

If you want to really get stuck in and make those Eurocrats take a bath, then Matlock is the place! With a general election on the horizon we really do have to know how to sharpen our knives!

P.S. The 'real bikers' amongst you are still free to camp, although the Dragon or Elephant rallies will be colder!

Remember, Natwest, Barclays, Midlands, Lloyds. We accept them all at MAG Central. To order your information pack with map and to reserve your place please book now on 0870 444 8 448

See you there, or face Motorcycle Emptiness!

If you are an affiliated club, or MAG Local group and have a rally or event that needs publicising MAG can copy and circulate flyers with Network for the bargain price of just £10.

Just Email or post your details to us and we will ensure your event is listed in Network, on MAG's Website and in Streetbiker.

We have a large number of dispensers available for displaying MAG leaflets in dealers, shops and at your events.

If you wish to purchase these they are available from MAG Central at &1.50 plus P&P. To order please call 0870 444 8 448 or Email: janet@mag1.demon.co.uk

We don't seem to be receiving much regional or local material for Network or Streetbiker these days. While we can't completely fill Streetbiker with local activity if it is to present a general interest face to the world, we would like a bit more. So far for this issue of Streetbiker we have a couple of reports that don't quite fill a page to represent the activity of 150 plus groups nation-wide. Obviously if every one of those groups sent us in material for every issue we would be snowed under but a bit to show how MAG is operating on a regional/local basis more wouldn't go amiss.

Regional Reps are starting to send in bi-monthly reports, and interesting bits from these will be used, but let's have more stories from local MAG groups and affiliated clubs please. Club news and stories are especially welcome as February's Streetbiker will be clubs themed.

Stormin' the Castle came and went quickly this year, although we guess not so quickly for everybody. Imagine, working on preparations for eight months of the year, taking holidays from work anything up to two weeks for the rally itself, and working that time as well, just so that nearly six thousand bikers can come into a field, eat, drink and be merry (not necessarily in that order) and have the nerve to say, 'the bands were crap.'

Hard working, honest people give so much and ask for nothing in return.

Others, take, take, take and don't even bother to say thank you. If you don't like the bands, if you don't like the food, if you don't like the toilets, don't sit back and expect everything to be to your liking - get involved, work with the decision makers and make the difference.

If you legitimately help out by doing just a three-hour shift, you can get your ticket money returned. Surely it's worth it just for a few extra beers? But more than that, you will have helped someone else to enjoy the rally. Lets all work together so we can all party.

If you would like to help marshall at any of MAG's events, including Stormin', please let us know at MAG Central.

The Events Crew!

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if the original Christmas had featured Three Wise Women instead of Three Wise Men?

They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, brought practical gifts and there would be Peace On Earth.

Pass it on to the wise women in your life!

Have a good Christmas, a happy new year, and watch out for those breathalysers!
