Well done, British bikers! Readers will recall that a few years ago lorry drivers did the same. The truckers also blockaded oil refineries and depots, threatening to bring the country to a standstill and bring the government down.
Why is it that Canadians are so docile? Canucks should be doing the same in these high priced provinces in particular and right across Canada to drive prices down to the same level as just across the US border.

About 400 bikers travelled at 25mph from Hartshead Moor Services in West Yorkshire to Manchester city centre in the "May-Hem" protest."

Re: HST, Grant's Law, "Environmental" fuel tax, etc.
^ Riiiiigght, there's an unlimited supply of oil, ~2000ft below the ground in politically stable western countries that is going to give us $50/bbl oil forever. If the bikers are that concerned about the price of gas, then they should simply use less, or use a different way of getting around. 
Otherwise, it's the price of doing business, so pony up.
