If only we could have that in France.
I already wrote to our government but never had an answer.
I just wrote to the FFMC (the bigger biker's organisation in France) to see if they can do something alike.

Same in BC, Canada.  I asked them why and they simply repeated their position without reason.

This was a very strong lobby effort by BMW. They need to develop the UK market for their C-Evolution....which is behind other countries..
