Just thought I would let everyone know that I am still alive and still working on improving Bike Safe.
April saw myself and 2 other members attend the International Police Motorcycle Forum in Goulburn at the NSW Police Driver Training. It was very interesting to compare notes on Police Training and Motorcycle related incidents on roads.
The Friday saw us ride numerous motorcycles and compare characteristics etc. 2 Sheriffs from LA County were also in attendance and myself and Snr Const Phil Bolton, from Qld Police Driver Training, set up our slow speed manoeuvre area for the other states and countries to try.
Funnily enough, no one was game.

Ok, what’s the go with Hyundai’s and me? Seriously, do I have “Hyundai magnet” written all over my helmet or something?

Many riders have adequate skill when it comes to jumping on a motorcycle and turning the throttle. The difficulty comes when they are required to actually turn at slow speed. The Police Motorcycle Course dedicates a week to this technique so that riders can effectively turn a 300kg motorcycle on any angle and in all conditions.

Have a read of this site and it will certainly change your mind about slipping down the road in that t-shirt and shorts. This woman is spectacularly brave and now promotes Motorcycle Safety Gear from her own personal experiences.

On exiting the driveway I lent the bike over, hit the gas and watched as the bike spun out from underneath me. (more…)
