ACU become partner in RAV

Great news!!

RAV is delighted to welcome the ACU – the governing body of British motorcycle sport- as a supporting partner of Riders Are Voters!!

This is fantastic news because it helps illustrate that whether on or off road, the threats to riding for work or for pleasure, need to be addressed together, to ensure the continued enjoyment of all, and the longevity of the motorcycling.

RAV is heard in the House of Commons

At a recent APMG meeting (Associate Parliamentary Motorcycle Group) hosted by the ACU (the governing body of motorcycle sport in the UK), Nich Brown of RAV addressed the assembled throng of individuals.

Members of both Houses of Parliament, Motorcycle Industry chiefs and those involved with motorcycle sport, listened intently as he introduced them to the RAV concept of unity within the motorcycle community and he even got a standing ovation at the end, though that was primarily because there weren’t any chairs!

Bradley Smith (pictured), runner up in the 2009 125 Moto GP and Britain’s great hope as GP World Champion, also addressed the gathering explaining the importance of attracting and involving the youth to motorcycling. He too applauded the idea of the whole industry working as a single united voice for motorcycle recognition.

Shadow Roads Minister Speaks To RAV

Shadow Roads Minister Robert Goodwill was the first politician to step forward and put his suggestion for motorcycling in the RAV ballot box.

Robert Goodwill, along with David Jamieson (former Labour Roads Minister), Tara Glen (Chair of the Motorcycle Industry Association) and Steve Kenward (Chief Exec of MCIA), were just some of those who stopped by the Motorcycle Action Group stand at the NEC bike show to see how the RAV campaign was developing and to give us their ideas.

The motorcycle industry are really taking an interest in the RAV 2010 campaign and some of the manufacturers seem keen to offer some really tangible support.

RAV is off to a flying start.

Remember, now is the time to tell us what you’d like to see the next government do for riders and to make sure the voice of Britain’s riders is heard by all the candidates at the next election.
