MAG Corporates at the show
Since the September 25th motorway protests, MAG has been the subject of much positive discussion within the motorcycle industry. Readers will see that we have now had to extend the corporate pages from two to three to accommodate those wishing to be associated with MAG. The ROAD looked up five of them at the recent Motorcycle Live show at the Birmingham NEC
Live
without the country’s leading rider organisation. Motorcycle Live provides MAG with an unparallelled opportunity to meet the mainstream
motorcycle population and the traders whose fortunes depend upon our political success. Even in the age of instant world-wide communication there is still no substitute for face to face when it comes to cementing relationships.
