• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Yesterday at our Fire and Rescue HQ (Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service) based in Reading, Berks UK
we had a vist from Alf Gasparro who has set up a new safety scheme called HELI-BIKES
Alf is one of the Pilots who works on the Thames Valley (Berks,Bucks & Oxon) Air Ambulance service

He gave an excellent talk and presentation and although the scheme is based in a couple of regions in the UK - Interest has been shown
from Other UK Regions, European Countries and the USA/Canada to set up the same type schemes there

To find out more about HELI -BIKES log into http://www.helibikes.co.uk/

You will find various links to other motorcycle safety information

Doesn't the UK also have a graduated scheme of licensing, so that a new rider can't go out and buy a litre bike with a top speed in excess of 160 mph? Given the riding ability of most people who finish the MSF beginning rider course and have their license but no experience, I wish we had something like that in the US.
