Free DVDs available for clubs/groups:'Riding In Groups'

[jazbug5]

Right: the Education Officer where I work has some DVDs spare which he is offering free to a good home. They are aimed at clubs that want to organise safe rides for their members; put together by LTNZ, ACC and various others- apparently very good. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet myself, but have heard good things about it.
Anyone? The idea is for as many people to see this as possible, especially folk that organise group rides on a regular basis: if that sounds like you, PM me- but not if you're just going to use it as a beer mat...
First come first served.

*bump*

Free with every one- a fabulous booklet insert!
Oh, and you don't have to be an 'official' club. So if you often organise group rides, even through KB, give me a yelp.

Free I like Free Its good

I'd be up to give one of these to the university motorcycle club..

[Skunk]

Watch it closely and you'll see me...

[White trash]

They wouldn't accept my offer of "How not to ride in groups".........

Bastards.

[Paul in NZ]

Don't throw em out jaz...

I'll provide a library service for them and become (grins evilly) the NZQA training resource for these rides.

Cheers

Hey, Paul- if you want a copy for real, 'tis yours.
I can either hold on to a copy until I see you or send it to you (for which I need your Proper Address).

You'll find more than one KBer in it.

I guess there will always be people who knock the attempts to produce safety stuff, but at least someone is trying. Face it, how many group rides get delayed as someone falls off? (don’t let’s turn this into a group ride thread etiquette there’s already a few of those).

I was sort of considering how it would work if we ripped them and put them on the web ? I can hold a ripped version here and open an ftp server when some one wants a copy. Legality might be an issue

So jaz, u know how to rip ? have you got the BW ? can you upload or.... ?

Oh, and P.S. where are u of to ? I seem to stuble over threads all the time reffering to u leaving some time soon but where to and why (I know i should do a search ay.... )

Hi

yes I am seriously wanting one as I do have an interest in the subject! (no honestly)

Cheers

A good idea there, but I've found through experience, when you lend out a DVD on this site it doesn't come back. Maybe a better idea would be to keep a copy, and show it at group gatherings?

I seriously would be interested in viewing the DVD's.

Yeah, I checked that out in a 'nudge, nudge, wink wink you do want lots of people to see this, don't you?' sort of a way, but unfortunately it might land people (including me and the very nice man giving them to me) in a largeish pile of doo doo. If, however, it were to happen at some stage down the line in a way unconnected with this site and myself/others concerned (as it no doubt will) then I don't really see how they can hunt us down and drag us through the courts for Acts Of Extreme Villainy...

The aim of the DVD was to get as many people to view it, contact the chap (think it is listed in the booklet) & ask. I did ask if it was going to be available downloadable somewhere & the comment was it seemed like a good idea, but always best to ask in these matters.

[jazbug5]

I think the issue was not so much that they don't wamt people to see it; it's just that there are sponsors that presumably want to have their names/logos seen, and that there may be legal issues such as copyright if we openly rip it...
