It's to tackle to issue of not wearing protective clothing while riding a bike. It's ideally aimed at 16 - 19 year olds that ride scooters (obviously some ride RS125's etc).
We've all seen these kids in their trainers and designer label jeans tearing around.
We need some good quality graphic photos from anyone that had an off while riding, possibly whilst riding without the correct gear.
If not, any photos of hand, foot or leg injuries caused by your accident would also be ideal. Your identity will remain hidden.
Strange request I know but the original photos we had weren't good enough to get the message across.
The photos will be put onto a few posters and leaflets and then given out at schools,colleges etc around the Notts/Derbyshire area and then later on possibly to Leics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by us.
Please PM me for my email address to send the photos.
I'm so rude!!!! I forgot to say please, so please please please help us! |
Hi, i appreciate what ur trying to do, and any road safety camaign is an excellent idea, i agree , the biggest offenders are those who are ogf that age group, mainly cause the gear cost a fortune and its not a legal requirment! whre as insurance is!
But what about the mor e mature riders i see on zxr's and gsxrs in the summer?? sorry, but they get me going mre than anything, no gear on a bike capable of 150mph, thinsk wee need to educate both ends of the scales. and they are way more likely to be able to afford the damed stuff in the first place!
Sorry bout this, but kinda feel persicuted as a young biker all ready, if i was at college and was handed that, but i couldnt afford better gear, then im sorry would **** me right off. i m not sure weather it will work or make them resent it / you further,
Just my thoughts froma young rider in your target audiance!
