Nantes. The bikers are few in number but still furious at the technical inspection!

Bikers from the Pays de la Loire region mobilized again this Monday, in Nantes (44) as part of a Milk Cow Tour de France. Coming from La Roche-sur-yon, pilots joined their colleagues from Loire-Atlantique before going to Maine-et-Loire. There were around twenty of them in front of the Prefecture, to contest the technical inspection of two motorized wheels, which became compulsory on April 15.

For Denis Chaimbault coordinator of the FFMC44, “it’s a “cash cow” stage of the Tour de France and from stage to stage, we carry around a milk jug. It’s the symbol of unnecessary taxes and racketeering perpetuated by the government against bikers or against road users. That’s one racket too many! It’s a useless and costly technical inspection, iIt’s no use. Less than 0.3% of motorcycle accidents are due to a technical failure and the milk pot is to collect the grievances of the FFMC branches, which will be transmitted once again to the government.

“Look at the racket orchestrated by the large technical inspection groups.”

For the French Federation of Angry Bikers – this is a costly and useless measure, especially when we know that the condition of the motorcycle is only involved in 0.3% of accidents. “When car technical inspection was put in place, 17% of accidents were due to a technical failure, recalls Denis Chaimbault. This means that motorcyclists maintain their motorcycles very well and that they do not need a technical inspection which is also extremely expensive, and which is almost the price of the car technical inspection (so they go) there. spend four times less time.

Take a look at the racket orchestrated by the large technical inspection groups. The lack of infrastructure generates 30% of accidents among motorcyclists, so the government’s priorities should be the good maintenance of infrastructure and above all not putting an additional tax on the backs of the cash cows that are motorcyclists.”

The FFMC therefore asks the State to already improve road infrastructure, and launches the operation #BalanceTonCentre in order to identify all the technical inspection centers, which are preparing to carry out the inspection of two wheels, and boycott them along with the cars.

Next stages of this Tour de France for bikers starting this Monday afternoon in Saint-Jean de Lisnières – 49, and tomorrow in Rennes and Saint-Brieuc, before a final this Saturday June 29 in Paris.
