Mag Foundation Information

The MAG Foundation is a registered charity and has been set up to provide a new dimension in motorcycle and scooter safety and research. The aims and the objectives of the Foundation are to promote motorcycling through: Research - Representation - Collaboration for the public benefit and raising awareness and understanding of environmental road safety and security issues relating to the use of motorcycles and scooters and to research and investigate solutions to these issues. The Foundation research program 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. Motorcycle theft is a big issue with riders and the Foundations first seminar in 2004 concentrated 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 Foundation has produced a booklet identifying secure parking throughout the country. This 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.
