TRAFFIC police are out in force in Heysham this week, as thousands of bikers travel to the Isle of Man TT races.

Lancashire police's Bikesafe 2000 motorcycle safety exhibition and video trailer will be at the port until Saturday, as 600 riders a day from across Europe travel to the annual festival.

Police motorcyclists will hand out leaflets about motorcycle safety, including French and German translations, while police will also be using an undercover bike to examine riding standards.
