Hello and welcome to my first Blog.

Let’s be honest, as motorcyclists we don’t give much thought to how our loved ones would be contacted in the event of an emergency.

Motorcyclists often ride alone in remote areas. In the event of a mishap how do the emergency services know who to contact?

ICE (no, not the slippery stuff that keeps your bike in the garage) is short for In Case of Emergency.

Most of us carry mobile phones these days, so enter ICE into your phone with details of anyone who should be contacted in the event of an emergency.

The emergency services know to look for this information in your phone or anybody else who happens by may also be able to do so.

Here’s another tip. Put the name of the person and their relationship to you in your ICE contact and make sure it is a number or numbers that can be easily reached during all hours.

Why not add ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc for more than one contact name.
