Campaigns
Established in 1973 MAG has dramatically broadened the scope of its activity and has now established itself as the legitimate voice of the road-riding biker in the UK.
MAG is very much a grass-roots organisation, with a large number of full and affiliated members and local active groups across the UK.
We have listed some of our recent campaigns below - but please visit 'Write to Ride' - or dedicated campaigns website
