The Lucknow Sentinel, 2016-04-27, Page 7Motorcycle awareness campaign to mark second year in Huron and Bruce Brenda Brown and Claude Jones are two motorcycle riders who have seen enough of motorcycle acci- dents . The Lake Huron Steel Horse Rid- ers and ABATE Ontario are inviting the public to the 2nd Annual Motor- cycle Awareness Campaign on May 21, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Communities supporting the campaign include Kincardine, Goderich, Bayfield, Owen Sound, Woodstock and Exeter. Organizers said the event is a chance for the public to stop by and grab some information on motorcycle safety for both automo- bile drivers and motorcyclists. Claude Jones, the promotional representative for ABATE Ontario organization, said he's personally been involved in three motorcycle crashes and added the the number of motorcycles fatalities continues to grow each year. "Only through my motorcycle rid- ing experience was I able to minimize greater bodily damage to myself, but each of these accidents could easily have ended in my death," said Jones via e-mail. "In each of those incidents the other party involved replied "I didn't see you" Through Jones' continued partic- ipation in a public safety awareness program, he hopes to bring greater focus to the motorcycle riders who share the roadways, in order to help prevent and reduce the num- ber of fatalities of fellow riders. The organization also looks to better prepare motorcycle riders, to ensure they make themselves more visible and safe while riding. Brenda Brown, president of the Lake Huron Steel Horse Riders (LHSHR), said she grew tired of hearing about so many motorcycle accidents and discussed it with her members and other riders. They decided to do something about it and have now been very active in preaching motorcycle safety tips within their riding club. The groups will be spreading the safety message through the sum- mer at various venues, encourag- ing the public to stop by and help them spread the word to 'Look Twice and Save a Biker's Life' The LHSHR's take pride on pro- moting safety in their communities. To describe the riding club, Brown summed it up using the ini- tials of the club as: Loyalty, Happi- ness, Security, Honour and Respect. The LHSHR's are now reaching out to those who share the road with motorcycles.
