    Need help reducing sportbike Deaths.

    I'm looking for 10 or so people (under 30) to help with an interesting project aimed at reducing motorcycle fatalities amongst young new sportbike riders.

    There will be little to no recognition for this, but you will be able to say that you have helped to save lives. This will require a day of your time (weekend day) in the fairly near future.

    We need people from the full spectrum if possible, so if you're a t-shirt and sandals rider we want to hear from you as well as the 'full leathers and an ERC course' type of rider, stunt riders, everyone. Feel free to invite a friend to take part also if you think they might be interested.

    Remember, riders only, under 30.

    If you are interested and want to know more, indicate here in this thread. Once we have the people we need, we will set up some kind of forum of our own for this little project.

    Any takers?

    Derek
