Texas Tech Daze: FIRST AID use/application as it relates to Motorcyclists

[Mike05]

John (SilverEagle),

 

You're in!

 

Your name will show up on the next updated list.

 

Glad you can make it!

[tobyzusa]

Is it just me, or does Mike need a haircut?

[dawn]

Count me in please!

[JTWright]

For those of us who can't attend, but who have a keen interest in the topic, is there a possibility to get the session DVD's or sylibus or the class? I recognize that we would not be certified. Lots of us are Red Cross certified, but need some specific coaching on bike related first aid.

I have recommended to BMWMOA that they do something, but nothing has been forthcoming. Think folks would be willing to pay for the DVD or summary to cover the costs of production.

 

Thanks for the consideration.

 

Jim

[Mike05]

Jim,

 

Great question(s)!

 

Jamie Edmonds (KMG_365) is the Instructor for this gathering. He's already sent me the class presentation/course outline so we can have copies for all that attend. Like everything I've seen Jamie involved with, it's both informative and well done. He "fine tunes" it for the size/length of each group.

 

I'll check on the "taping" question & get back to you.

[EricTheAwful]

Mike, Please count me in.

 

Thanks!

Not any more!! eddd has made the list!!

[SteveSardone]

Just to bump this back to the top. To those of you who are coming to this from out of town, I live about 3 miles from this venue and have a spare bedroom and another spare couch in the game room. If anyone is interested in saving the cost of a hotel PM me and let me know. My wife and I would be happy to have you.

[Ken H.]

I just hope all of you realize how much gulping it's taking for this ultra left-wing liberal to set a tire in Texas!

 

Politics Saturday night anyone?

[johnlt]

Mike,

 

I'm still listed on standby for my flight in on Friday so assuming I make it, I'll be there Saturday morning. My son lives in Hickory Creek so I'll just buzz over there on his old airhead.

[Mike05]

John,

 

Looking forward to seeing you! If you need a ride from the Airport pls. let us know.

 

Your son is welcome to join us as well.

 

See you Saturday.

[KMG_365]

Leslie and I are sitting in the airport waiting for a plane. It's not riding, but it will give us more time to visit!

 

We're looking forward to seeing our Texas and other mid-western buddies again! I just finished a 72-hour shift this morning and I've had so many meetings, funerals and other obligations along with two months of 100+ hour weeks (and just finally shook the bug I caught last week that has been going around) that I am really looking forward to getting away!!!

 

WooHoo!

We're looking forward to seeing you two as well!

 

I thought you might get a chuckle out of the attachment.

[smiller]

Hey Mike,

 

The directions look pretty clear but do you have a phone number to call... just in case...

[Mike05]

Hey Mike,

 

The directions look pretty clear but do you have a phone number to call... just in case...

 

Good question. Should have thought of that!!

 

Between now & Saturday, use: 972.317.4601 (Our home)

 

Saturday, use: 972.679.5751 (My cell) or 214.693.6787 (Joyce's cell).

[noel]

I will not be able to make it as a medical emergency situation came up for me. I'm quite disappointed for missing the event but my situation needs to be taken care of. Obviuosly, Karen will not go either as she will be attending to me.

 

Have fun you guys. Happy Birthday Jamie.

[Slyder_Steve]

IrishMike? Have you checked with Ireland to be sure they are OK with you using their name?

 

You'll have to fill us in on the story behind the name change.

 

Anyway....Getting ready to head out. Probably swing by this evening to your Irish estate. See you soon.

[Edgar]

Who is this IrishMike and what's up with the Foo Foo dog?

Settled on a Dinner spot?

[Slyder_Steve]

IrishMike will have to tell you about the name change, but the "Foo Foo dog" pulls double duty as a very good mop

[Whip]

Hey Gang

 

I'm gonna miss a party in my own back yard.

 

 

Too much work, not enough time......(Final Four in 7 days and the show will begin in 4.)

 

 

Have a great time and someone please kick Seth in the shins for me.

[smiller]

There's some things you just gotta to do for yourself. Too bad you MISSED THE CHANCE...

[tobyzusa]

Few pics of todays event here.

[Ken H.]

Awe Larry, "had to work", yeah, we've heard THAT story before! You were just worried Seth and I would gang up on you and fluster you under the table, right?

 

I'm home as far as Witchita, KS. As I wander about from weird little town to town as part of my local club's IBETour contest. Today's trivia - No matter what anyone says there is no such place as Santa Fe, Oklahoma.

 

Big BIG thanks to Mike and Joyce for their GREAT hospitality, Jamie of course for instucting, and Leslie of course too!

 

It was fun seeing a few familuar faces from here and meeting even more. Thanks one and all.

[Whip]

Awe Larry, "had to work", yeah, we've heard THAT story before!

[SteveSardone]

[Slyder_Steve]

Made it back to Pensacola last night. Rain started in Tyler, TX and finally subsided about 50 miles South of Alexandria, LA--now that was fun

 

Had a most excellent time meeting up with everyone again.

 

Joyce and Mike; Thank you for the fantastic hospitality

 

Maxi Jamie; Thanks for the new tools in my accident tool box that I hope to never have to use

 

Ken H; thanks for the help with my brake bleed

 

See you all soon,

Slyder

[Mike05]

Leslie & Jamie on the plane home! Left Dallas 2:20 p.m. this afternoon (Monday)

 

Jamie did his usual excellent job teaching & Leslie, as always, represented both herself & this Board in the best way possible. You set a nice standard kiddo.

 

Limecreek only thinks he didn't attend; my Bike is sitting on the lift sans tupperware & shocks thanks to his excellent tutorial on how to remove the OEM shocks. Thanks Greg!

 

Joyce & I want to thank all of you for attending; we had a wonderful time & look forward to the next gathering.

 

Ride safe & often,

 

Mike & Joyce McKennedy

[smiller]

Thanks for your hospitality Mike. Hope you got those valves adjusted to within .0005"...

 

And I just thought I'd note this AP article today... you are apparantly really up on things Jamie...

[Edgar]

Why clean it? The rain should have washed off all the bugs!
