| Honda Specials Help Out
|
Policing of the TT weekend was boosted with 30 special
constables courtesy of Honda UK.
Honda UK General Manager Bob McMillan was joined by
29 instructors from the Honda Motorcycle Appreciation
Course to help out over the weekend.
The riders were sworn in as special constables in
Ramsey on Saturday morning before joining the Island's
regular officers to keep the roads safe.
The instructors are all former Police motorcycle
instructors who now run courses for Honda bike owners
in the UK.
Bob explained the company, which had been a long-time
supporter of the TT, was happy to join in.
'When we heard the TT was off we knew there was the
potential for traffic accidents so we offered the
services of our instructors to help the Isle of Man
Police make it a bit safer'.
The riders helped out on Mad Sunday, patrolling the TT
Circuit to help ensure visitors and local bikers rode
safely. Police Inspector Carolyn Kinrade said 'We are
delighted to be joined by our friends from Honda'.
