As the jolly big man in the red suit (Ducati racing leathers that is) prepares to wheel our new toys under the Christmas tree it’s a good time to reflect on the year we’ve had.
It’s been a big year for MATES. We’ve launched a website, been presented with a Road Safety award, we’ve made many new friends both here in Australia and around the world, we’ve managed to touch the lives of many people and we’ve seen a decrease in the number of people killed from motorcycle crashes here on the Gold Coast - and we’d like to think we contributed to that.
We want to thank all the people that have made it all possible, all our supporters, our subscribers and readers, management, the authorities that we work with and of course the motorcycling community as a whole. Without the support we get from all these people and organisations we could not do the work we do.
At this time of year we see an increase in traffic on our roads, and a disproportionate increase in the risks we face. When we throw alcohol, fatigue and inattention into the mix with people in a party mood it gets even more dangerous, so play it safe out there and as motorcyclists we all need to bare in mind that the road users we are surrounded by may not be as alert and attentive as we expect. We want you all to come back to us next year !
We wish each and every one you, your families and your friends, a very happy and safe Christmas, and a wonderfully successful new year. And if you’re out riding, stay safe and enjoy!
