A Rebellion that Gained Momentum

Looking back: in the early 80s, the motorcycle tax sticker became the symbol of biker anger. Outraged, young riders donned their jackets and launched the French Federation of Angry Motorcyclists, a rebellion that would become the benchmark for defending the rights of motorcyclists in France. Who would have thought that a simple piece of paper could galvanize a generation? These guys decided they would not be trampled by a system they deemed unfair.
