A MASSIVE 'go-slow' protest against high fuel prices is set to bring roads across Greater Manchester to a standstill.
More than a thousand bikers are expected to join forces to cause havoc on motorways and major routes into the city centre to demonstrate their anger at the soaring cost of petrol.
Motorbike club members from across Britain are expected to link up with local riders for the rush-hour gathering on Thursday.
Commuters are being warned to expect delays on the M60 and the M62, as well as on major roads into Manchester and Salford.
Independent bikers from Rochdale began organising the protest less than 48 hours ago and word spread like wildfire on networking websites and via e-mails.
They say the heavy fuel tax makes it difficult for bikers to take part in regular charity rides.
More than 200 riders were set to gather in Rochdale last night to plan their protest route.
Greater Manchester Police, meanwhile, said it was unaware a protest was due to take place.
The riders are expected to gather at Birch services on the M62 near Middleton before starting their protest at 8am.
They expect to be joined by a fleet of lorries and taxis, whose drivers are also concerned about the fuel tax.
The cavalcade will head down the motorway to Salford Quays, but some of the riders will head down major roads into Manchester.
