Dozens of bikers took to the M54 in Shropshire on a 'go slow' protest over proposed EU regulations on bikes.
Organisers of the go-slow protest along motorways across the country yesterday said they wanted to raise awareness of the planned changes to motorbike law.
The Motorcycle Action Group claims the rule changes would require them to submit to more regulations than other road users.
Protesters rode at about 45mph for up to 20 minutes along stretches of motorway including the M40, M6, M54 and M5, causing some tailbacks.
A statement issued on the MAG website says: "A raft of issues emanating from Europe will have a profound effect on riders and the motorcycle industry generally.
"We must stand up and be heard."
