VVSR = Very Vaguely Scooter Related.

I just received this email from Ian Mutch, President of MAG UK. MAG is the UK's Motorcycle Action Group, with some similarities to the AMA. Yes, it's a solicitation, but you don't have to sell your soul.
Quote:
This text is designed to appeal to non bikers as well as bikers so
please send it absolutely everywhere. We only have a fortnight to make
this work folks.

Ian Mutch

Sick of the nanny state? Weary of the Health and Safety Culture sucking
the spirit out of the nation? MAG is a bikers' organisation but we carry
a torch for everyone who thinks the way we do about the interfering busy
bodies of the nanny state.

We've been going forty years and fund a non stop professional lobbying
effort that is now headed up by former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik, once
described as the most libertarian MP in Parliament.

MAG is a responsible organisation but accepts that risk is part of
life. Britain did not become Great by being terrified of risk.

Now MAG is promoting a new single release which will bring us huge
income to finance our work if it charts. We have two weeks to hit 45,000
sales.It only cost 69p to download the track from the web.

Please pre-order "It Means So Much" by Stranger by clicking https://
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/dmusic/device/mp3/store/album/B00J9Y3YBK?ie=UTF8

Member- you could be in with a chance to win a Fender Stratocaster

Libertarian???

More than willing to support MAG... though I think Lembert and his friend Leon Mannings are both completely useless numpties.

Lib Dem Libertarian. That's a mouthful of contradiction by comparison to 'Merkin versions. Wha? emoticon

69 Pence it is.

That's not easy to answer.

The Gibraltar Pound, Falkland Islands Pound and St Helena Pound on par with the GBP
South Georgia, British Antarctic Territory and the South Sandwich Islands use the GBP
Pitcairn Islands use the New Zealand Dollar
Anguilla and Montserrat use the East Caribbean Dollar
The Cayman Islands use the Cayman Island Dollar
The British Virgin Islands use the US Dollar
The Bermudian Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar
Akrotiri and Dhekelia use the Euro
And for the British Indian Ocean Territory, the GBP is the legal currency, but the US Dollar is the prevailing currency in circulation.

BUMP!!! i've just bought a copy for a massive 79p. it's a pretty good tune and if it gets into the top 40 it'll bring MAG some badly needed dosh.

If you don't know what MAG is, you can find out more here: clickity click

I'm a MAG member and proud of it we have them to thank for helping to head off all sorts of daft EU directives like the so-called 'super MOT' that would have required all bikers to spend silly amounts of money every year having invasive anal probes unnecessarily comprehensive safety checks.

And a timely email from Ian Mutch explaining that only 3,200 more need to be ordered:
Quote:
This is the last time I shall pester you all with this 

We have just entered the official UK top 100 with Stranger and his song ?It Means So Much? 

If we get just another 3200 sales by this Saturday night, the song will reach that essential top 40.

Once we reach the top 40, we get loads more publicity and radio play which will be a huge help.

I have put 3 links below where you can download the song and if you could perhaps ask your
friends, family and work colleagues to also buy a few copies it will be hugely appreciated.

We have until Saturday evening to make the difference.

Thank you to those who have downloaded the song already, my apologies for bothering you but this
could really turn MAG's fortunes around for the sake of such a tiny effort from a few thousand
people. The knock on benefits with concerts by Stranger from which MAG will benefit hugely all
hang on a high profile being achieved by this single. Opportunities like this do not come along every
day.

MAG President

I'm going to keep bumping this until the timer runs out. Even if you're not a UK resident, the MAG ethos - keeping silly bureaucratic fingers out of the two-wheeled cupcake - is of relevance to anyone who rides a PTW. Please cross-post to other forums if you can

I'm a Life Member - ten years ago, it cost fifteen times the annual membership, and I reckoned I'd either be riding another thirty years or be dead anyway. Made sense to me, and I'm very glad I did it.
