This is a great idea. I'd really like to see Washington state do something like this. Get a celebrity to promote the campaign. Someone people notice and listen to. I know that the Seahawks have given a Harley as a gift to their coach. I wonder if there is anyone associated with the team who would support this? Great PR for the team too.

I just saw the Allstate Insurance motorcycle TV ad. Have you seen it?

It shows a bike sliding down the road and says "Motorcyles don't feel road rash."

Got me looking at their site. They have a rider awareness program.

Take a look:

Good to see some excellent effort are being made.

Default Safety Wake-Up Call

Check out the editorial in American Bagger magazine on page 10. Some very good advice.

Default Safety resources in your state

Go to this site to see the safety resources in your state.

Some states have motorist awareness programs, most don't.
