The only thing I took from that, is that the helmet at 1:21 is very fucking cool!

The protests were over proposed anti-tampering measures to stop riders modifying or working on their bikes.
Tuning will become impossible and even home-servicing severely hampered under plans.
So-called onboard diagnostic systems on new bikes could detect non-standard parts and trigger a warning light until the 'fault' is rectified by a dealer.
Routine faults will be reported in code decipherable only be a dealer, preventing home servicing.

they used to make carbies in the US with solid plugs so that simple tuning could not be done.....
Took a good mechanic 30 seconds to get around that.
Onboard diagnostics and EFI etc ?
Take a good IT geek 30 hours to get around that. But get around it they will.....
Don't panic. For every *safety* measure introduced over the last 50 years, there is a fix just waiting to be found.....
