MAG BENEVOLENT SCHEME
MAG, the UK's leading riders' rights organisation, benevolent fund, set up in January 2000 will make a cash payment of £200 to the next of kin of any full individual member who suffers death by accident.
In proposing this member benefit, the then MAG Chairman, Neil Liversidge said:
'MAG aims to look after its members. I personally am determined that MAG will provide its members with more benefits and better benefits than any other motorcyclists' organisation.”
“£200 is not a large sum but it will still help in the unfortunate and tragic circumstances of a sudden death by accident.”
MAG is not the richest bikers' organisation by any means but with the small level of support to MAG members and their families, we aim to use what money we have to the absolute best effect.
Our members give a great deal to MAG.
We want to give some help back to them when they need it most.

Lock-2-Lock- Fighting back against motorcycle theft
Lock-2-Lock is a national motorcycle security scheme with a difference.
It takes less than 20 seconds for a bike to be loaded into the back of a van. However, Lock-2-Lock is not about preaching statistics that most riders know, it is about promoting a biker-friendly and safer community. It proposes to do this by uniting motorcyclists in a bid to radically reduce bike theft.
Because of a lack of secure motorcycle parking areas, it is almost taken for granted that riders will park their bikes and then worry about whether they will still be there when they return. The Lock-2-Lock
scheme has been created to make that sort of anxiety a thing of the past by enabling riders to properly secure their bikes when parked in public places.
World Superbike Champion James Toseland is already enthusiastic about the idea and that's why he supports the scheme. The scheme is simplicity itself. By attaching an L2L sticker to their bikes, motorcyclists can help to drastically reduce motorcycle theft. The L2L sticker displayed on a motorcycle authorises another Lock-2-Lock member to lock his or her bike security chain to that particular bike's security chain. It is that simple.
The scheme enables two or more motorcycles to be locked together, making all the machines considerably more difficult to steal and protecting any number of motorcycles against theft. Only the locks are locked together, therefore any of the bikes can be removed from the "chain" of bikes when
the owner desires.
The implementation of the Lock-2-Lock programme on a national scale is guaranteed to reduce motorcycle theft in the UK. Make a difference.
MAG members can benefit from a 15% discount on full packs by visiting www.lock2lock.co.uk and entering the discount code MAG16452
