Motorcycle News (MCN) are launching a "Reclaim North Wales" ride this weekend. MCN claim that the North Wales Police are continually using anti-motorcycle tactics that have left many riders feeling victimised. In one weekend around 400 bikes were stopped by the police and 350 were allowed to ride on with no charges brought against them.

To defy the police treatment of motorcyclists, most of whom are law abiding and stay within the speed limit a mass ride out has been organised for the weekend through North Wales. Hundreds of bikes are expected to attend, their facebook group has already attracted nearly three thousand followers with bikes coming from all over England, Wales and Scotland to join the protest.

The sheer number of bikes at the meeting should be an incredible sight, and the mass ride well worth seeing as it is a spectacle not often seen in the Uk.
