Excellent point and a very good question. Paul, you did exactly the right thing. Glad you were there...again!

Here is a post that maybe our admin might poach and make a sticky. I review this every once in a while...

Paul,

Looks to me like you guys did everything right almost instinctively. Everyone was very cool-headed, and that had a calming influence on me which, in retrospect, I truly appreciate.

After lying there a while doing a sort of pain check, I felt like the only thing really wrong was the leg. With that, I was able to just deal with the pain and not have to worry about anything worse.

As Terry (NHBUSA) noted, I became more concerned about taking the ride offline and the condition of the Sprint. I'm glad to hear I didn't slow the ride down too much.

The Sprint will eventually get fixed and I may be able to ride in 6 weeks or so if it's ready by then.

You got to see me at my best ;-), with that little ADVride on Hurricane and then this. Jeez, I gotta learn how to ride a damn motorcycle!

Thanks again,

John

Glad to have been there Dave...always a pleasure riding around with you at 55 mph.

Currently - I'm considering taking some kind of medical course this winter so I'm better prepped for future mishaps...this is not because of this one mishap, rather, from numerous other mishaps in the past that also includes this one...I figure some real education on the subject wouldn't hurt...and I'd have another notch in my belt of certs.

Oh yeah! I've read that prolly 625 times...I'd say it's pratically comitted to memory by now.

I agree that should be copied and, IMO, stickied ABOVE the "If you ride with us" sticky.

Looks like you guys had a great time...sorry to hear someone crashed but glad he is OK!

I'm a certified lifeguard, which is basically one step below EMT. I wish I had been on scene, but it sounds like there was no need.

Firefighter/EMT-B here.... pretty basic on something like that as the first person on scene.... we have our ABC's (Airway/Breathing/Circulation) then stabilize safely... bike accidents are different b/c you really have no idea whats under that helmet... like an internal wound, its hidden... just dont let the coppas take your helmet off

John,
Sorry i didn't get to talk to you that much, I was a little out of it from the night before and wasn't my jolly old self that day. Just wanted to say heal up and we'll see soon Bud.


Dave, I don't know what burned you more...the burn itself or the burn Joe tossed your way after. "You Squidly Didly".
