Motorcycle Live to offer Get On biking taster sessions

The forthcoming Motorcycle Live industry show in Birmingham is to offer taster sessions that will introduce visitors to the pleasures of biking.

Get On, a campaign organised by the Motorcycle Industry Association with support from various industry bodies, is to receive its own dedicated arena at this year's event, which will be held at the NEC between November 19th and 27th 2011.

For the duration of the nine-day event, a range of scooters and motorbikes will be available to try out for first-time riders or former motorcycle insurance policyholders who are seeking to get back into biking.

Taster sessions will last for 20 minutes, with participants to be provided with safety equipment and coaching from a qualified instructor, before climbing aboard a wide variety of two-wheeled models provided by a number of industry manufacturers.

The purpose of the Get On initiative is to actively promote the many positive aspects of being a motorbike owner through free riding experiences and independent advice on different aspects of biking.

It aims to highlight benefits such as the time and money-saving benefits of using a motorbike instead of a car, as well as the environmental advantages and social elements.

Get On's arena will be one of many attractions at the Motorcycle Live show that will offer guidance on how to get into biking, with different stalls offering guidance on how to get a licence, buy a bike and get insured.

The My First Honda Licence show will introduce children as young as five to the motorbike riding experience, allowing them to experience the excitement of biking in a safe and controlled environment, before receiving a printed mock-up licence of their own.

According to the organisers of Motorcycle Live, the show is the "best place to experience not only the practical elements of motorcycling, but also discover the freedom, fun and flexibility that life on two wheels brings".
