There will be a heavy police presence in Port Dover today to make sure everyone is having a safe and fun time. "There are a lot of great people that show up in Port Dover. Everyone is a motorcycle enthusiast but even if you're not, some people come down to check out the motorcycles because there are some beautiful motorcycles that are on display especially when they are lined up and down the streets. "We just want to put a reminder out for motorcycle operators to make sure they are visible at all times and make sure that they're wearing all of their equipment just in case they do become involved in a collision. Please note road closures, one-way traffic, and parking restrictions for Friday the 13th. But it's really about forging those relationships, I've met several people from not only around Canada but from around the world! Unfortunately, when we deal with collisions involving motorcyclists a lot of times the motorcycle operator or passenger suffers serious, life-threatening, life-altering, or life-ending injuries."
