 Usually a motorcycle protest here in France, involves lots of motorcycles riding slowly through cities and motorways, blocking traffic, generating bedlam everywhere as much as possible. It usually works, and bikers, despite being a pain in the *$$ are supported by the general population. But this weekend's protest is going to be different, very different. This Sunday is an important day for France, since it's the 1st round of the presidential elections. 10 candidates are up for the top job, and during the whole of the day, voting booths will be open all over the country. What the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC ) are asking is that the bikers that are going to vote, go around 10:00 AM, and go dressed in full ATGATTAll The Gear, All The Time - meaning you always wear all your safety gear. gear. If enough bikers go and vote at the same time, all dressed up in full gear, it should become a clear message to the round #2 candidates:- BIKERS DO VOTE! It's a great idea, since no one is bothered by the protest (well, maybe the old lady standing next to a big biker at the voting booth), and it does send a clear message that bikers do vote, so do not forget us in your policies. But the, whoever we vote for, we doomed anyway.
