Helmets – What’s The Situation?
As it stands right now (April 2009) there is still no law for wearing helmets whilst using a Quad Bike or ATV on british roads.

Even though the law does not state that you have to wear a helmet, there has been many calls for it to be a legal element when riding or using an ATV or Quad Bike on public roads. It is in our opinion that should anyone ride a machine of any description that can reach speeds of over 25mph, a helmet should be compulsory. (more…)

Congratulations! As a proud new motorcycle owner, you’re undoubtedly itching to hit the road on your sleek set of wheels. Riding your bike down scenic byways or city freeways is an exhilarating experience–but as all riders know, motorcycling comes with plenty of risks. Motorcycles can be hard for automobile drivers to see, and in the event of an accident, a motorcyclist doesn’t have the benefit of thousands of pounds of steel protecting him (or her) from the impact. The best way to reduce the risk of serious injury or death is by wearing a helmet.

After buying a new bike, many riders are chagrined to find that a standard helmet purchased from a dealer can set them back an additional several hundred dollars. Many higher-end models can easily approach $800 to $900 or more. Fortunately, a helmet’s safety and quality doesn’t necessarily go up with the price; cheap helmets can also provide ample protection. Basic helmets can be found for around $100, and it’s very possible to get full protection from one of these less expensive models. (more…)
