Your tyres are all that comes between you and the road.

A major safety factor is keeping them at the correct pressure, the wrong pressure will adversely affect the handling and braking so you need to check them regularly.

Bridgestone tyres are currently running a safety campaign, admittedly aimed more at cars but, one aspect of which is that they are offering a FREE tyre pressure gauge.

If you go to the< http://tyresafety.eu/home>, after the intro video has finished playing you will see, beside the front of the car, a placard “Order a Free Tyre Gauge”.

Click on this and you get the order page for a free gauge.

There are also a set of car oriented safety videos that also hold true for bikes

Got to be worth the effort.

!!THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED!!

The “Moneysupermarket” comparison website is running a draw for the next 4 weeks.

Anyone taking out a policy through them between now and 15th September will be put into a draw, one draw for each week and the winner will get his policy FREE.

You can get details on their website at:–

They say that they are comparing premiums etc across over 30 insurers so they’ve got to be worth a try.
