As a member of the MN Motorcycle Awareness Board, one of our tasks was developing a Public Safety Awareness (PSA) spot to be run on the local media. The link below is what we came up with. http://www.minnpost.com/minnclips/2012/03/look-twice-motorcyclists-psa?utm_source=MinnPost+e-mail+newsletters&utm_campaign=db26f78f1f-3_22_2012_Daily_Newsletter3_22_2012&utm_medium=email What do you think..... Also, if you have a mind to, please feel free to pass this along to others through your face book page, blogs, club media, any other outlets you may have access to. We had five video spots submitted for consideration. And, it was unanimous with all board members that this message hit the mark best of all.

First of all I would like to say that as a member and part of this family we have here I respect and appreciate all of your ideas, comments and opinions. I have thought about this for a while now and would like to share my thoughts with all of you. I’m not an organizer and these days I’m challenged to care for my own needs but this is something close to my heart and I hope some good comes from it. Do we have what it takes to organize something like this? My thoughts; How about starting a Motorcycle Safety Awareness Campaign and Ride? Understandably there is no quick fix for motorcycle safety awareness. There are a lot of motorcycles and cars on the road and we must learn to coincide, share the road and be aware of each other’s presents. New drivers are hitting the road every day, some, carefree of the dangers of driving. They celebrate their newfound freedom and for the most part are totally oblivious of the history of suffering from accident victims and their families. But it’s not just new drivers. We are creatures of habit and can become very complacent, caught up in a rush or very distracted. So how can one impress attentiveness and awareness upon people without having to first experience tragedy or disaster? What can we do to prevent or reduce motorcycle fatalities? If you could do one thing that might save a single life, would you? Well I too have seen my share of accidents and am literally ‘sick’ of it. After twenty years in the fire service the emotional trauma has gotten to be too much for me and I’ve had to stop my work. I’ve also lost my best man to an accident and coincidently happened to be first on scene to his horrific head-on collision. Two people died in that crash and there is no bringing them back. I love you Harold and miss you to this day. We all have a story to tell but again, “What can we do?” “How can we make a difference?” I’ve noticed from various rides (as I’m sure most of you can relate) that when a band of bikes come rolling through town people stop and take notice. They snap pictures, call friends to look, point fingers and stand in aw! Well I think we should take matters into our own hands and make the biggest dam impression on people that anyone has ever seen!! All our rides, rallies, meet-n-greets are wonderful and are truly of a kindred spirit, but I think it’s time to stand up and be noticed! Brothers and sisters lets band together and deliver the message our selves! Pending family consent, and with utmost respect I propose we organize a memorial ride in honor of Leslie for ‘All’ our beloved fallen in an effort to promote a Motorcycle Safety Awareness Campaign and Ride. And that we assemble every bike we can muster and proudly ride in unity! I would like to see so many bikes that when they all start to roll it will change the rotation of this little plant of ours and perhaps impress upon some people to change their driving habits as well! A ride that will cause people not only to sit up and take notice but also to really stop and ‘think’ and ‘remember’ the ‘responsibilities’ of driving! Lets share with people the energy we feel when we ride. Put the rumble in their souls so the next time they see a bike they’ll pause in remembrance, admiration and respect. Whether it’s a relay ride from State to State, a synchronized global ride, or one massive ride, whatever it takes, lets do it! Fliers, radio, internet, even television are all tools we can creatively use to deliver the message. The life you save could be your own. Respectfully, Charles

I have read that this is Motorcycle Awareness month in Ohio, and I believe it is across the nation. Any one here involved in any activities to help our cause? Just wondered. Yama Mama:thumbsup2:

I may have missed a thread about this subject, but it is "Motorcyclist Awareness Month"! Has anyone participated in any events to promote motorcycling safety? I believe we can all do our part about reminding cage drivers of the importance of looking out for our brother and sister riders. It really should be done all year long, but let's work on what we have in May. Peggy:7_2_104[1]:

I do not know how to get it over to this site but on Break.com there is a great video called Awareness test. It would make a wonderful motorcycle awareness video for the public;
