Poor mental health can affect anyone at at any time: it can be incredibly difficult to reach out for support, and that is where MHM (Mental Health Motorbike) is made available to all riders.
For many advanced riders we have a simple but effective pneumonic in “I AM SAFE”. As rider we need to ask ourselves are we fit to ride at that time? We make the effort to check our motorcycles using the pneumonic POWDERRS to ensure our bikes are 100% ready to go, so why not ask yourself “I AM SAFE”. Many of modern day pressures effect upon our daily lives and mindset, this can and may impact upon our mental state and impacts our riding abilities along with medications, lack of sleep, domestic and work pressures, the list goes on.
You do not have to suffer with poor mental health alone. If the E in i am safE feels bigger than the rest give me a shout for a coffee & a craic.
