This is a website about Motorcycle’s and has help on insurance quotes, route planning, safety tips and other useful information about motorcycling.

The site contains a lot of Flash elements including rollovers, moving images and videos, the links are pictures and are relevant to what your being linked to i.e. the plan your next ride page link is a road map on the garage wall, there are lots of links on the page but it is set out very clearly and it also has the links across the top of page so you can find a page without having to find the picture link in the garage view, I like how they have done this as it is easier and quicker to find what your looking for, another element of the links above the garage door is that when you hover over them, the relevant picture glows up in the garage view and vice-versa.



There is also a little game that allows you to build your own bike(which I spent a little time doing), you get a lot of choices on what colour, style and accessories you want on your motorcycle and also get to place it on one of four backgrounds then save it at the end, there is a little problem with this page, there are some black bike objects, which are placed on a black background, you can barely see that they are there, I feel they should have made the background lighter or maybe added a border around the bike objects to make them stand out from the background.



The plan a route page is just like Google Maps but focuses on good routes for touring across America, this is good addition for riders who are planning a cross country vacation and don’t know about the roads, there is also links to submit your own routes or check out the top ten routes.



The garage TV page features videos of advice from the people who work at the company, these videos are about road safety and how to prepare yourself for a safe journey, this is a good page as it shows you lots of safety videos on how to check you oil and other stuff on your bike to what clothing is suitable for riding and what hand signals to use to indicate to the riders behind when you want to stop or turn.



After going through the site and looking at numerous pages, it’s really hard to find faults in the site, yes, you might get confused by looking for links in the garage, but they have made sure you can navigate your way through the site easily by placing links at the top as well, the sites very well spaced out and nothing interferes with each other, the only bad thing is the game section with the clashing colour’s which could have been avoided by having a border around the image, but apart from that minor error, the website is spot on for design work and information.
