  2. For some time now I’ve been contributing to “Behind the Wheel”, Australia’s favourite radio motoring show.

    The show is syndicated through a network of radio stations around the country, and recently producer/host Joel Helmes made the show available each week through iTunes and as a downloadable podcast.

    Well now, starting with episode 100 (which was a couple of weeks ago) you can check out the show each week on YouTube as well.

  4. Have you checked out the new Here For Life website? You can find it at http://hereforlife.qld.gov.au

    Not only does it have the familiar Share Your Story section, of which I believe everyone knows and you can contribute to, but you can also order a free road rules refresher guide.

    More importantly, under the Be Safe section, is some very useful content for motorcycle riders, and a link to the recently re-launched Motorcycle Safety website - http://www.motorcyclesafety.qld.gov.au

    For new motorcycle riders it has great info about LAMS and what to look for when buying safety gear.

    But for me, I like the Motorcycle IQ quiz which you can take in three different areas - road rules, motorcycle maintenance and trivia.  How good are you out of 10?
