UK_News_5-1_jpg_246603a

An estimated 400+ motorcyclists took to the streets of Manchester, England to protest steadily increasing gas prices. The jist of the protest is to get as many bikers as possible on the roadways and then drive in unision like a 70 year old man in a lincoln town car. Mission accomplished. The massive amount of two-wheeled petrol payers gathered at 7am at the westbound Hartshead Moor Services on the M62 in West Yorkshire. They began riding at 9am on the M62 at a blistering pace of 25mph, continued onto the M60 and finished on the M602 towards Manchester.

Police stated that they were very impressed with the bikers and how they stuck to the designated route. No incidents were reported.

great turn out, it looks as though the bikers are the only one's left with balls in this country, its about time people stopped sitting back and taking all the crap that is slung at then by the oil companies and the British government (whichever party is in power)
