DENBIGH-BASED Kawasaki dealership, A & D Motorcycles is playing its part to promote road safety awareness in North Wales by lending a new Kawasaki Z750 to the North Wales Police BikeSafe campaign that has been organised with the help and guidance of Police Authorities across the UK.
Last week (Friday, April 7) saw Assistant Chief Constable for the North Wales Police, Stephen Curtis, pay a visit to A & D to receive the motorcycle on behalf of the campaign from dealer principal, Alan Shepherd.
A & D was established 24 years ago by Alan, who is as committed to the cause as the Police Force itself. Alan said: "I am 100% behind this programme - it is a positive step in the right direction and enables bikers of all capacities the chance to increase their ability and confidence. "By passing on their knowledge and skills, police motorcyclists can produce more capable riders."
The initiative is run by Police Forces across the UK in a bid to reduce casualties on the road. By working alongside dealerships like A & D and training schools, the programme can draw upon resources from all over the land to share and implement ideas, encouraging bikers to enjoy and benefit from the training provided through BikeSafe. On receiving the Z750, Stephen Curtis, said: "North Wales Police are delighted that A & D Motorcycles have supported BikeSafe within North Wales by the temporary provision of a motorcycle which can be used to assist the development of the BikeSafe programme.
"By working more closely with the motorcycle industry and others we move ever closer to reducing the casualty figures for motorcyclists, which is our shared aim." A & D boast premises that stretch out to more than 7,000sq ft and cater for all bikers with after sales support that has built a solid reputation in Denbigh and the surrounding areas in North Wales. It is fitting then that they have supplied the Kawasaki Z750 to the BikeSafe scheme to be used as a training tool through to the end of September this year.
