The anti-MOT revolt among motorcyclists shows no signs of weakening.

This weekend will be marked by several demonstrations to protest against the implementation of technical inspections for motorized two-wheelers.
On October 24, 2023, an order published in the Official Journal confirmed the implementation of technical inspections for two-wheelers as demanded by European legislation. The first phase, which started at the beginning of April, concerns motorized two-wheelers registered before January 1, 2017. A step-by-step schedule running until the end of 2026 will allow visits to Control Centers to be staggered to avoid congestion.
Two-wheelers registered between early 2017 and late 2019 will need to undergo technical inspection in 2025, and those registered between early 2020 and late 2021 must do so in 2026. For those registered after January 1, 2022, the technical inspection must be carried out within the six months preceding the expiration of a four-year period from the date of their first registration, as stipulated by the updated Highway Code.
Bikers Standing on the Brakes
The topic is stirring the anger of bikers, who have multiplied actions since the first announcements. The pressure will escalate this weekend with a call for a national demonstration. Let’s quickly pass over the rather unglorious and somewhat clumsy operation #BalanceTonCentre which aims to list all the technical inspection centers preparing to conduct CT2RM and to boycott them. Preventing people from working is not much more glorious than preventing them from moving freely on two wheels…
The FFMC, Federation of Angry Bikers, is calling on all bikers and road users to mobilize massively on April 13 and 14 across France. The operations conducted by the FFMC have always been marked by a friendly spirit and absolute respect for everyone, regardless of their opinions. These are values inherent to the biking community; let’s hope this weekend will follow this virtuous line. By publishing the gathering map in advance, it seems that this is indeed the intent of the organizers.
