New Protective Clothing campaign launched 18th March 2008.
A campaign promoting the importance of protective clothing for all riders was launched in Melbourne today.
The campaign will feature two television commercials targeting specific segments within the riding community; motorcyclists and scooter riders. Both commercials highlight the risks associated with riding without the appropriate protective clothing.

Warning for Motorcyclists from the Deputy Coronor: Before you buy - get a mechanical check. The Deputy Coroner recommends that motorcycle buyers seek expert opinions on any second-hand vehicle before they purchase it, whether or not a roadworthy is necessary. This will help to pick up any mechanical faults with the motorcycle. This warning from the Deputy Coroner came after a motorcyclist was killed just days after buying a second hand motorcycle with throttle and brake problems. The throttle became stuck in the wide open position, causing the bike to travel at excessive speed and the rider to lose control. Of course, mechanical checks need to be maintained after purchase, and throughout your vehicle's life.
