Don’t forget to post up yours before their postbox gets too full
Ah, how refreshing, its been a while since I've encountered such prejudice!
The big attraction and thrill from riding motorcycles comes from going round corners and in large parts of the country a road that provides a lot of these in a short distance can be hard to find.
However, the more hilly areas of the country (of which the national parks are a major part) thrust themselves forward by offering an abundance of such roads and it is for this reason that motorcyclists tend to flock there.
Perhaps, rather than seeking to persecute us for this you might consider setting aside a particular loop of twisting road exclusively for motorcyclists to use. You could even put up crash barriers all round it, charge a minimal admission and then any riders who push their limits too far could be charged for the ensuing clean up and recovery.
Sounds far fetched doesn't it? Then its interesting to notice that the very same Germany who you enthused about having a motorcycle ban provide EXACTLY this facility -its called the Nurburgring.
Even France, who must consider inferior when it comes to driving issues, also provide such a facility -circuit Carole on the outskirts of Paris.
Sadly, I fear such reasonable and rational argument is more than likely to fall on deaf ears, it is after all much better to try and persecute and prosecute the hooligan bikers (because we ALL fall into that same category!!) into not coming to Wales.
In which case, I'd like to jump on the 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' bandwagon and suggest the same ban on caravans which generally tend to cause the 'snaking traffic' and the subsequent misery for millions of holiday makers as well as a major 'environmental imposition' (have you ever seen an attractive caravan site?)
I look forward to your reply
