Hi Guys (and gals, obviously),
It's no secret from my videos that as well as running various companies and being in IT and Digital Graphics for a career, a few years ago I decided to use [too] many decades of experience in passing on skills to up and coming generations. As a result, I ended up teaching in colleges and universities around North Kent in the UK.
Starting in September, I'm expanding my hours with Mid-Kent College and while I've not been able to justify it in the past, the longer hours mean that I'm going to become involved in the extra-curricular activities as well.
My biggest commitment will be MEMO - a new motorcycle club that we are starting for anyone who rides in the Medway area and who has any form of connection with Medway education - whether that is as a student or staff member. Due to a sudden rise in work-load over the summer, my original launch date has gone out of the window and it will now officially be launched in late October.
There are lots of things planned for the club - everything from theory training to touring (i.e. gauged at the skill and riding type of those involved, such as local stuff for scooters and learner bikes, to foreign trips for the bigger bikes and more experienced rider), guest speakers, we are looking at talking to involvement by SMART and Kent Police (with whom the college already has a good connection) and an overall dedication to safe riding. One of the main aims of this is to 'catch 'em young'. Over the summer, I've seen too many young idiots riding around Medway in bare-skin, let along track-suits etc.
How you can help:
I'm in the process of finally getting the website up and running - it's in a sand-box on one of my company sites, but I'll release the web address for people to take a look at later once it's more configured.
I think that it would be really great if existing riders (and MotoVLoggers, by the very nature of their camera kit etc.) could take a photograph of themselves wishing these new riders luck for use in a special gallery. The idea being to capture student who are wavering as they take a look at the site.
It does not have to be a new picture, but something in far away lands (i.e. wherever you are), different types of motorbike use etc. would be great with the idea of a dedication behind it showing best wishes - this is all about good, existing riders setting good examples and showing newcomers what it should be like.
Any takers?
