Tips and Legal Guidance

As the warm embrace of summer envelops us, the allure of hitting the open road on a motorbike beckons to many enthusiasts. However, with the joys of cruising under the sun comes a sobering reality: an increase in motorbike accidents during the summer months. Understanding the reasons behind this spike and knowing what to do in the unfortunate event of a crash can make all the difference.
Here's a closer look at the statistics, precautions, and legal recourse available, including insights from Tylers Solicitors.

The Surge in Summer Motorbike Accidents:

Statistically, the summer months see a noticeable uptick in motorbike accidents. There are several factors contributing to this trend:

Increased Traffic: With better weather, more vehicles, including motorbikes, populate the roads. This congestion heightens the risk of accidents due to the sheer volume of vehicles sharing the road.

Visibility Challenges: While summer brings longer daylight hours, it also introduces glare from the sun, which can impede visibility for both motorcyclists and other motorists. This decreased visibility raises the likelihood of collisions.

Inexperienced Riders: Summer often attracts novice riders eager to experience the thrill of motorcycling. Unfortunately, inexperienced riders may be more prone to accidents due to a lack of skill or proper training.

Road Conditions: Summer weather can also impact road surfaces. Factors such as increased oil slicks from vehicles, loose gravel, or uneven pavement can create hazardous conditions for motorcyclists.

What to Do in the Event of a Crash:

Despite precautions, accidents can still occur. Knowing how to respond can mitigate the aftermath's impact.

Here are the essential steps to take if you're involved in a motorbike accident:

Assess Injuries: Prioritise your safety and that of others involved. Check for injuries and seek medical attention immediately if needed.

Report the Accident: Contact law enforcement to report the accident. A police report can serve as crucial documentation for insurance claims and legal proceedings.

Gather Information: Collect pertinent details such as the other party's contact and insurance information, as well as eyewitness accounts and photographic evidence of the scene.

Seek Legal Guidance: Consult with a reputable solicitor specialising in motorbike accidents claims like Tylers Solicitors. They can offer expert advice on navigating the legal complexities, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation for damages incurred.

History was made at the Isle of Man TT today when Michael Dunlop, a Furygan supported rider, claimed his 27^th victory and surpassed the legendary record held by his uncle, Joey Dunlop. This extraordinary achievement cements Michael’s status as the most successful TT rider of all time, a testament to his unparalleled skill, determination and passion for road racing.  

After delays and updated racing schedules, the Metzeler Supertwin TT Race 1 proved to be another Dunlop masterclass with the Northern Irishman consistently riding at close to lap record pace aboard his Paton. Throughout the three laps, Dunlop kept increasing his gap to those behind and ended up crossing the line 20.406 seconds ahead of his closest challenger.

Furygan is proud to have been a part of Michael’s journey since 2013 and witness the multiple successes that he has had on the way to making history today. The French motorcycle protection specialists provide the 35-year-old with custom fitted suits and work with him to tailor them to his specific requirements – as the Isle of Man TT provides unique challenges with walls, lamp posts and hedges lining the 37.73 mile Mountain Course.

David Robert, Furygan Communication, Marketing and Sponsorship Manager

“Dedication and striving for excellence are definitely a meeting point between Furygan’s Racing Department and Michael Dunlop, and we both get there with the same fuel: passion. What Michael has done today is the pinnacle of an incredible performance at an incredible event and all of us at Furygan are so happy to have been able to accompany this fierce racer on his journey. I want to say how incredibly proud we are to be a part of his team, not because he is a TT legend, but because of how genuine and great the man is. That’s what gives meaning to what we do. Thank you Michael.”

Furygan’s customers are able to benefit from these hours and miles of testing, in addition to the technical innovations that the Motion Lab develops for competition riding that have applications on public roads. In essence, the partnership helps to maintain Furygan’s high standards of comfort, protection and style that are synonymous with the panther emblem.

Michael Dunlop’s 27th victory is a celebration of his remarkable talent and a tribute to the enduring spirit of competition at the Isle of Man TT. With five races still to run, including the blue riband Senior TT, there is potential for the record to be broken further.

“After the disappointment last time I really wanted to make up for it today, it should have been 28. We had an issue on the first night and the boys worked hard to fix it so thanks to them for working all night. I felt good, knew I needed to relax, calm down and just go. The wee bike felt good, although it was windy up there and I’m not the smallest. This is a nice place to be though. I’ve never modelled myself against Joey and I don’t want to be. He was a special talent, and everybody aspires to be him. I’ve broken records but this was a personal thing I wanted to break. That’s the one I’ve always wanted.”

Prominent MotoGP team Gresini Racing, in partnership with MotoGP Guru and Animoca Brands’ subsidiary SPORTPASS, today launched the first-ever fan powered sponsorship program. The program will enable MotoGP fans to purchase and own an exclusive personal team sponsorship package — all for as little as €125.
 
“This is a world-first in sports; we have worked with Gresini Racing to bring the fans even closer to the team and the riders they support, and do so using the latest technology to provide the security of ownership and value,” said SPORTPASS CEO Jordan Fogerty. “We hope that the SPORTPASS platform and the value it provides to fans will prove to be a turning point in the way teams and riders connect with fans as well as the brand partners, which are pivotal to enhancing fan experiences.”

The new program offers fans a number of exclusive benefits money can’t buy, such as VIP Paddock Experiences at the Grands Prix of 2024, name placement on the bikes, and being invited to exclusive events, zoom calls with the team members, special custom merchandise, and a chance to win Ducati Panigale V4S, a highly customized official test bike used by the Gresini Racing’s riders Marc and Alex Marquez. Fan sponsors will also get to own exclusive digital passes, collectibles, invitations, and credentials, as well as access to other exclusive sponsor-only content.
 
Gresini Racing has recently risen to international fame after the team signed eighth-time world champion Marc Marquez, who joined his brother Alex to compete in the 2024 MotoGP World Championship on the Ducati Desmosedici GP23. The anticipation of the satellite teams’ performance and Marc’s early season podium success, along with his massive following, have shone a spotlight on Gresini Racing, and they have wasted no time bringing a world-first initiative to MotoGP aficionados.

“We have always had an incredibly loyal fan base not only of the team but the many riders who have achieved success in our championship projects. We could not be happier to be the first team to ever allow actual fans to become sponsors and make this available globally,”.added Carlo Merlini, Commercial & Marketing Director of Gresini Racing. “We look forward to innovating and engaging in new and exciting ways.”

These sponsorship experiences were brought to life by SPORTPASS and MotoGP Guru, which also produces and publishes the official MotoGP Prediction Game and the officially licensed mobile racing game MotoGP Guru Racing ‘24. MotoGP Guru is also part of another Animoca subsidiary, The Motorverse—an interoperable ecosystem of motorsport-centric games boasting pioneering IP collaborations and championing digital ownership.
