York MAG is a local branch of the Motorcycle Action Group.

The Motorcycle Action Group, (MAG), is a voluntary organisation,
drawing membership from across the whole spectrum of motorcycling.

MAG was born out of protest against legislation, introduced in 1973,
making it compulsory to wear a helmet.

Since then MAG has evolved from a single issue group
to a highly respected political lobbying and
campaigns group which is central to all aspects of policy
and legislation affecting motorcycling.

MAG operates at the European, National, Regional and Local levels.
MAG can, and does make a difference.

Motorcycling is about freedom of expression.

Above all it is about camaraderie and friendship.

In a world of increasing regulation and conformity
motorcycling represents one of the last
bastions of individuality and diversity. 

This freedom of expression and individuality is not a 'given';
it has to be protected and fought for.

This is why every part of MAG must be focussed on promoting motorcycling
and to represent, protect and defend the interests of riders.

To put it simply, The Motorcycle Action Group's mission is to:

Defend and Fight for Riders' Rights
