Global – 2017 FIM Awards – Help the FIM find the winners –  The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme is pleased to call for nominations for its annual FIM Awards to recognise and show its appreciation for those who have significantly contributed in different fields of motorcycling.

Of greater interest to us at Motorcycle Minds is the FIM award for Road Safety which we followed closely last year.

Our favourite nomination then, although not the 2016 winner was SKIDBIKE  a technological and practical motorcycling training aid – described as a “Disruptive Training Technology”, revolutionising the rider learning process.
