Yes but from the home page, the button is titled "Motorcycle Clubs"

A good point raised about how leathers are classified as clothing. What's the rule here about helmets? As a legal requirement it should be included as part of the bike, surely?

On the ACC site is mentions that white helmets are more visible. Anyone heard of this one, or is that a now-discredited UK-only thing?

More amusing stuff (well, not really) was the picture of which parts of the body get injured most often/most severely. Will there be legislation to change the shape of bike fuel tanks to help keep population levels up? At least the filler caps are flush now...

Cool - can you also pass on how fucked off I am with idots texting on their mobile phones as they drift across two lanes of traffic on the Auckland motorway.
And as it's ACC's duty (?) to try and prevent accidents - it's about time they made hands free telephone use compulsory in vehicles - as it is trans tasman.

ACC and Ulysses are working together to raise awareness to other road users.
If you are in Auckland you will have seen "Lookout for motorbikes" on the off ramps last year. These signs will be back in place soon for this year's campaign.
Also Ulysses and ACC are working towards the bikers being more safe with their riding and what they wear.
The web site is part of that.

Gosh, I wonder where Ulysses riders come from??? Maybe they just pop out of the cabbage patch???
I think they were younger riders once and have managed to survive.
I am one of them. Have such a bloody good time that we want all bikers to live long enough to belong and enjoy Ulysses.

I was refering to the two I know on the consultation committee. THEY are too young to join Ulysses.

Not that they will never be old enough too.

I'm only a couple of years away from joining age...
