| Abstract: | The creation of the first riders'–rights organization RRO] at Mallory Park in 1960 heralded a transformation among Britain's motorcyclists. Until this time, motorcycling was exclusively a practical and/or social activity, the main organized expression of which was the Auto Cycle Union; a sports–oriented organization dedicated primarily to racing. However, since that time the riders'–rights organizations – that is, organizations dedicated not to motorcycles but to the political rights of motorcyclists – have expanded both nationally and on an international basis. |
