DEMO AGAINST MOTORCYCLE BAN'S HAMBURG

July 4th is just the beginning of further protests against the introduction of motorcycle driving bans in Germany. Thousands of motorcyclists drove to the rallies in numerous cities today. Some of the well-known motorcycle meeting points went on a rally to the big cities. The demo was banned in Munich, but it couldn't really be prevented.

Goosebumps FEELING ON THE A7

In Hamburg things were a little more relaxed and one could say noticeably inconspicuous. Early in the morning, for example, the groups moved in small numbers from the north, first coming together in Neumünster and then suddenly there were more and more. The end of the bikers could no longer be seen on the A7, which gave me goosebumps.

THE MEETING POINT WAS THE REEPERBAHN

The meeting point was the Reeperbahn, it was closed to traffic on both sides. The police were calm and did a good job so far. Ultimately, you could see that they had a very close eye on the situation; in Schleswig-Holstein, there were vehicles everywhere on the main roads to accurately assess the situation. The weather didn't really cooperate, but it was perhaps a good thing that not every biker found the time on Saturday.

NO ONE SHOULD UNDERESTATE THE MOTORCYCLING COMMUNITY!

However, politicians would be well advised not to underestimate the issue of motorcyclists, because this is about something more than a simple hobby. I don't know any tennis players who tattoo the brand of their tennis racket on their skin. Motorcyclists' mood can change very quickly and they are not the only ones in the republic who are dissatisfied with political developments.

If among the bikers there is a showman who doesn't know what to do because there are no events, or a technician who has just lost his job at Bosch because of the campaign against diesel, the situation gets hot, you just have to see and in the end they all stick together.

But as already mentioned at the beginning, there was nothing spectacular to report in Hamburg, the organizers brought up a stage and provided music. Kalle Haverland and a viewer shared their opinion, the other speakers got stuck in a traffic jam somewhere outside the gates of Hamburg, that can happen, but no matter, the first signal was made today! #not with us

WE ARE MORE THAN 4.5 MILLION

In general, we are talking about 4.5 million motorcyclists, I would say there are a few more, because the numbers do not include seasonal license plates, nor passengers, nor those who cannot afford to ride a motorcycle at the moment. And as we know, more and more bikers share the hobby with their partner and go on vacation together on the motorcycle, for example. It's a shame for the restaurateurs, hoteliers and cafe operators, and it's also a shame for the industry and motorcycle dealers.

A HUGE INDUSTRY IS UNDER ATTACK

Because if it really happens that over the next few years there will be more and more driving bans for motorcyclists on weekends, no one will put a machine in their garage anymore, because we are also talking about values ​​here! Riding a motorcycle is not cheap and the clientele is generally the middle class with purchasing power, on which an entire industry depends.

Next, the manufacturers would actually have to position themselves in order to build up more pressure in the media, the Bild newspaper has not yet uttered a syllable about this. Sarah Connor went swimming naked in Iceland, which is probably worth reading for the Bild newspaper. I think that everything is underestimated, let's wait and see for the next few weeks, because the demos won't stop and in Berlin people quickly drove up on two wheels!

We stay tuned!
