Welcome

The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) is a lobbying organisation that exists to protect motorcycling from negative legislation that threatens the pleasure of riders.

Established in 1973 specifically to campaign for the repeal of the mandatory helmet law MAG has dramatically broadened the scope of its activity and has now established itself as the legitimate voice of the road-riding motorcyclist in the UK.

Beyond that we have taken responsibility for promoting a better motorcycling environment through local lobbying on convenience issues such as bus lane use, advanced stop lines, congestion charging and parking facilities.

MAG is more interested than most in promoting the interests of road safety but not at the expense of our right to ride, enjoy fundamental freedoms and control our machines.

MAG's principles since 1973 are fundamental to our commitment to presenting a consistent philosophic position.

MAG has tailored its tactics and style to suit the evolving motorcycle and political scene but will not trade ethics for short term popularity.

MAG is very much a grass-roots organisation, with over 53,000 full and affiliated members and a Network of active groups throughout the UK.

Nationally MAG represents motorcycling in various forums and was a member of the Government Advisory Group on Motorcycling which in 2005 delivered the first National Motorcycle Strategy in the UK.

MAG UK was instrumental in setting up FEM, which went on to become the Federation of European Motorcyclists Associations (FEMA), of which MAG is an active member organisation.

Affiliated to FEMA today are 23 national riders' rights organisations from 18 European countries. FEMA through its Brussels-based Secretariat, headed by its General Secretary, co-ordinates the lobbying activities and policies of the twenty three national riders' organisations at a European level.
