Saddle up and sample life on two wheels at Bikesafe 2010

TWO-wheeled tourists from across the country will be headed to Sheffield Arena as part of a vast motor-cycle event encouraging more people to saddle up and ride safely.

The weekend-long 2010 National BikeSafe Motorcycle Show, sponsored by the motor-cycle industry’s Get On campaign, gets underway at Sheffield Arena on June 12.

Qualified bikers will be able to sample some of the latest bikes on the roads while novices will get the opportunity to taste life on two wheels for the first time.

The free event is set to bring together the best of the motor-cycle industry as the National BikeSafe Motorcycle Show heads north.

Attractions include stunt rider Dave Coates, the Extreme Globe riders, international trials champion Steve Colley and Ady Smith’s KTM off-road experience.

There will be the opportunity for every rider to take a free 45-minute ride-out with an advanced police motor-cyclist.

All riders need to do is come along prepared to ride and bring with them all parts of their motor-cycle licence and insurance documents.

There is also the chance for people to take a ride-out on a manufacturer’s bike. Manufacturers already confirmed include Honda, Yamaha, BMW, Kawasaki and Triumph.

Riders will need a credit card to cover any refundable deposit requested by the manufacturer.
