MAG Foundation – Time for changeThe MAG Foundation is a registered charity and has been set up to provide a new dimension in motorcycle and scooter safety and research. The Foundation is privileged to have Chief Superintendent David Short and John Moss retired head of safety for Cheshire County Council, as its patrons. The aims and the objectives of the Foundation are to protect and promote motorcycling through: Research – Promotion – Sponsorship, for the public benefit and to raise awareness and understanding of environmental road safety and security issues relating to the use of motorcycles and scooters. The Foundation aims to use its research to represent the opinions of the motorcycling community as a whole and offer sound information to government, the industry, other riders’ organizations and the motorcycling press. Over the last two years, safety has become more and more an issue with government, the European Union and now, global transport safety is under the authority of the World Health Organisation. We don't know how this will affect us, but we need to be prepared with the right answers. We need to make sense of the facts and figures so that we can make informed decisions for the benefit of the motorcycling community. Motorcycle theft is a big issue with riders and the Foundation's first seminar in 2004 concentrated on this topic to give the participants a deeper understanding of the issues relating to the identification and examination of stolen motorcycles and how to work with other organisations to combat this problem. The secure parking booklet represents another milestone for the Foundation and aims to provide information not just for riders, but for councils that do not provide secure parking for motorcycles or so that they can improve their existing facilities. This first edition covers most of the country; each council was contacted and further information was provided by numerous other sources. We are aware that there may be parking areas that are not included. If you have further details about secure parking, please let us know, or if you require any information regarding the MAG Foundation, contact us at info@mag-foundation.org Ride Free
