Assault Quote by Malcolm Forbes
“I think legislative assaults on motorcyclists are totally emotionally, disproportionate and totally unfair…they're instigated and implemented by people who know nothing about motorcycling, but have a prejudice. It's easy to curb the freedoms of others when you see no immediate impact on your own.”
