Mike05 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Looking to put together a winter TECH DAZE for: FIRST AID use/application as it relates to motorcycle accidents. The idea is to provide a class that allows for RED CROSS FIRST AID training & certification/re-certification with additional emphesis on rendering such aid at the scene of a motorcycle accident. I was planning on getting my first aid training current when it dawned on me I wasn't all that sure what I needed to know in order to actually apply first aid if someone went down on a saturday "pie run". Did some homework & discovered this is an acknowledged issue. Am trying to combine First aid training with applying that training in a motorcycle-related incident. If enough folks are interested, will put together a class in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of N. Texas. Right now, pls. PM me or use this post to express an interest; we actually have Jamie and a few other Board members who teach this exact course!! Would like to see this happen; another great reason to get together!

Mike05 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Sorry all, I asked for interested folks to post in different places. I'll get it fixed. In the meantime, "Interested" so far: tobysuza (Brad) Rocket_Cowboy (Charlie) Mike05 (Mike) More the Merrier.. Link to comment
Whip Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'd like to be there.... It will depend on a lot of other things, so set the date and I'll do my best. If you can get Seth(smiller) to show up I'll be there for sure. Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If you can get Seth(smiller) to show up I'll be there for sure. What ... me, Mike, and Brad aren't enough to lure you north? Link to comment
Whip Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If you can get Seth(smiller) to show up I'll be there for sure.

Hey Tech Mod I think your obligated to show for the Tech Day. Link to comment
smiller Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hey Tech Mod I think your obligated to show for the Tech Day.I crashed on the way to the last one (at Limecreek's.) But if I do it again on the way to this gig at least it would be productive as you guys could use me as a first aid dummy. I'll try to make it Mike (but I'll probably always be standing to the left of Whip.) Link to comment

eddd Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I might be in, but I'm waiting for the date. (The date of the event, not a date like a woman. That might be a really long wait! ) Link to comment
Mike05 Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 eddd, Counting you as "interested"; none of us are "in" until we publish details. Keep the names a-coming!! Link to comment
realshelby Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Before I could commit I would like to know what to expect as far as length of course. Is this an all day course, half day, etc. Dates would be important as I work a lot of Saturdays. I am "interested" and think the class would be a good idea. Link to comment
Angel Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Well, I'd be interested... sounds like a worthwhile cause... others out there? Link to comment
Mike05 Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Terry, Not looking for "commitment" at this time, only trying to gage interest. None of us are able to announce "IN" until the details are posted, so you're absolutely right! In fact, one of the reasons we're drumming up potential interested parties ( couldn't resist the phrase) is to draw on that group to decide some of the details!! So, "interested" realshelby (Terry) ADIFW (Angel) (Thanks) Thanks Link to comment
EricTheAwful Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Sorry for the late reply, but count this as me being "interested". I'm fairly flexible on a time and duration, so whatever works for everyone else is groovy. Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 mIKE-mY-mAN..any idea when this will be held?? Month even?? I'm interested.... Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Just a friendly bump to this thread. Hopefully there's still interest in moving this along. Link to comment
Slyder_Steve Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 mIKE-mY-mAN..any idea when this will be held?? Month even?? I'm interested.... If that beer dude from Idihow is interested, how can I resist? Count me in as interested Link to comment
Mike05 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 O.K.; time for an update. When is starting to look like March or April on a weekend day; main reason is lots of folks say they want to be able to ride in for it. More specifically, it is directly related to who the instructor will be & their scheduled openings. Where is still the Dallas/Ft. Worth area unless someone has a better opportunity. Remember, we're trying to make this a "recognized" First Aid Training session with the emphasis on use/application as it applys to motorcycle accident scenes. In other words, you take the course, you get a card that says you took the course and, if possible, we train a few to go on to other places & do the same thing. We may end up with a lot less then that but that's the goal. BTW, one of our members has already offered to fly someone in to do the training; the interest in this course continues to grow. Right now we'll looking for qualified instructors; seems to me Jamie, Phil and a few others may qualify. Sure would like to hear from any interested (qualified) Board members! Please feel free to voice an opinion on March or April you'd prefer to do this!! Lastly, thanks for all the interest & offers of help; together we'll get this done! Link to comment
Slyder_Steve Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The only request I have is to avoid 29 Mar thru 6 Apr. Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 From the first post: The idea is to provide a class that allows for RED CROSS FIRST AID training & certification/re-certification with additional emphesis on rendering such aid at the scene of a motorcycle accident. Just for planning purposes, if you were at all interested in coaxing me out to teach the class, I'm no longer "Red Cross certified" and the classes I've been teaching are a full day with specific emphasis just on motorcyclists (i.e. your riding buddy is down in the middle of nowhere--where do you start, how do you prioritize, and what do you do? ) O.K.; time for an update.

Woodie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This is looking very interesting. I see three ASMI instructors in Texas, but two of them are in the Houston area. Watching this thread too! (I already have two classes going in February.) Link to comment
Whip Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm out April 5 - 9. (Final Four will be in San Antonio and I have to work) Otherwise, I'm in.... Whip Link to comment

KMG_365 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Pending eventual shift change, I might be available the 29th (and 28th) of March, but I'd have to leave for home on Sunday the 30th. Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for bumping this thread back to life! Link to comment
smiller Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just for planning purposes, if you were at all interested in coaxing me out to teach the class, I'm no longer "Red Cross certified" Personally, I'd be interested in motorcycle-specific subject material more than the card so I wouldn't care at all whether the class was officially certified or not. In fact if certification required a syllabus with a bunch of unrelated material I'd consider that undesirable. If both can be fully accommodated in one day, great, otherwise... and the classes I've been teaching are a full day with specific emphasis just on motorcyclists (i.e. your riding buddy is down in the middle of nowhere--where do you start, how do you prioritize, and what do you do?)And that's what I'd be interested in. Maybe just me, but FWIW... Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Maybe just me, but FWIW... I think we're all on the same page. We talked about the cert vs targeted content over lunch a few weeks ago ... it sounded like most all of us are in sync on what we want to get out of the session. Link to comment
SteveSardone Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm probably in also depending on the dates. thanks, Steve Link to comment
noel Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If time permits based on schedule, count me in. Thanks. Link to comment
Mike05 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 O.K. The "Texas Tech Daze: First Aid use/application at Motorcycle Accident Scenes" is scheduled for: SATURDAY, MARCH 29th. Chief Instructor is our own extremely qualified (more on that later) Jamie Edmonds; Leslie Edmonds is a comin' too!! That means quality instruction & plenty of hugs & smiles are heading to Texas. Details will follow (exact time, place, etc.); for now, wanted to get the date out there for scheduling purposes. Looking for a head count so if you can make it, please let us know. Thanks all for your patience! Link to comment

Ken H. Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Okay, the bike's back together so I'm thinking toward doing this. End of March in and out of the mid-west can still be a bit dicey, but what the heck, first venture out of town for the year! 550 miles (more-or-less) in a day = Doable. Mike - Post or PM me with some motel options please. No fleabags but inexpensive. (Or where in the city you are.) Link to comment
Mike05 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ken, Sent you a pm. Local accomodation information for all will be posted in the next few weeks. So too will the agenda, location, birthday party details, ( ) topic outline etc. This is gonna be fun! Link to comment

Mike05 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 UPDATE: Finally!! Received confirmation on request to reserve space for March 29th.!! Here is the location we'll be using for the day: HIGHLAND SHORES COMMUNITY CENTER #1 Community Center Dr. Highland Village, Texas 75077 It's located about 1/2 mile from the intersection of Highland Village Rd. (New Fire Station on the corner) & Highland Shores Blvd. (actually fronts on this street). Other Points of interest: ** Current plan is to set up "classroom" style, using their table & chairs. Also, full kitchen facilities available as well so lunch is planned for on sight. ** Doors will open (can't get into the building before 9:00 a.m. the day of our meeting) at 9:30 a.m., with the meeting tentatively scheduled to run from 10:00 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. ( if Instructor KMG 365 agrees), with lunch & breaks in-between . Anyone who shows up before 9:00 a.m. can help set up!! Coffee, water, donuts sodas etc. will be available. ** Important things left to do with input appreciated: -Lunch menu options -Notify everyone it's Jamie Edmond's Birthday that very day for folks that may want to stick around for whatever happens next! (Guess we just did that. ) -Location of local places to stay. -Start firming up the headcount Lastly, could use a couple "volunteers". My two-finger typing style means I better get this posted asap!!
