Some of us rider because it is not safe. Any attempt to make it safer faces resistance from us.
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
I'm keeping schtum for the moment but I'm not setting up as a school. Or a shop.
I'm loyal as hell to the school I worked with.
Just chucking ideas around at the moment. I'll add some context depending on how things pan out.
That may well be true - it is certainly when I learnt to ride.
But that is no excuse for not going to a riding school NOW!. I've learnt how to truly ride a bike at riding school in the earlish 1980s - about 10 years after I bought my first bike and at least eight years after I got a licence.
For me - no point - they will always tell me I'm going to die ...

and others which i'm to lazy to dredge up, its an old boys car club, the guys who spend more time polishing their morris marinas than driving --- and curse and try drive into you if you attempt to lane split past them...
NOT advocates for motorcycling even when they pretend to be
Need several things.
- FB page - still one of the best ways of social communicating
- Website - go for one of the free ones - Wix.
- Don't bother getting a domain etc, just use as is - it's free if you don't mind ads but then you'll get MC ads which is no bad thing.
- Website will be is a resource repository and main contact point. You'll want imagery but plenty bikers will provide stuff.
- Sticky here.
- Twitter. Pain a butt for some but very effective for immediate goss and news. Quite a wide reach in influential circles
- Engage with non NZ rags some in the UK have excellent resources and battle-hardened
Good luck
