Title: The ULTIMATE DFWM Helmet Accessory for Fall (falling...)

Alrighty then, never one to sit around when I could be causing trouble  [evil]  I've ordered 40 of these Medical Information Carrier tags for our riding pleasure.  I've got one on my helmet and it's held up very well - waterproof, etc.  Sticks right on to the outside of the helmet.  Very small - about  2 1/4" by 1"  - and could be easily snipped open by EMT personnel should the cause arise... Believe me when I tell you those guys have got some wicked-bad snips... straight through a Ducati leather jacket like butter   :-X

Any-frigg'n-way, they should be here by the end of the week so I'll give 5 or 10 to Bryant, Brian, CJ, and Tommy so they can give them to all the rest of you folks if I don't see you first; I'm thinking that when we all get together on Friday night in the Hill Country would prolly be a good opportunity.  Obviously you don't have to take one but, hey, it's free, and it'll keep me and Brian from hassling you from here to eternity at the next group ride for your ICE info [laugh]

Have a great week,

Lisa

Hey, don't speak for me!! I plan to hassle everyone from here to eternity at the next group ride about something whether they have one of these are not! I just have to come up with something new. Maybe tire pressure, proper boots... I'll find something! [laugh]

Thanks a bunch Lisa for being so pro-active on this. Something good usually does come out of something bad, you just have to look for it. I think we are on the right track with this and the ICE data base. [thumbsup] Well done people!!

Very cool Lisa.  Where can I order some o' these?  I want to get a couple for my helmets, and give some out to my friends here in Phoenix (one of my classmates is a insulin dependent diabetic).

Yeah, this track day is turning out to be a major event. I bet most of the folks will be there. We'll get these distributed one way or another.  ;)

Thanks Lisa  [thumbsup]

Do we need to order more? Several peeps I know have 2 or more helmets... How much are those thangs, anyway?
Title: Re: The ULTIMATE DFWM Helmet Accessory for Fall (falling...)
Post by: never2loud on October 06, 2008, 03:43:52 PM

They are 1.99 each.  I'm working on a "group buy."   CycleGadgets says on their website they used to give these things away for free but they ended up going to non-moto uses so they charge a couple of bucks per now.

If you want to pitch in on cost, that's cool.  If not, no worries.  They ain't gonna break the bank (although after today's stock market debacle...)

Lisa if you find the amount we have to order for a price break let us know.  I'm sure we can use them up for new people to the group and new helmets to the group.

What? I'm not pretty too? I swear I remember you saying I was! Maybe you were talking about my bike? There goes what's left of my feelings. :'( :P [laugh]

I'm gonna have to have a couple too. Who knows they may make me younger and prettier! I did notice that if you bough something from the website you get one free. Just the same I'm going to pitch in a 20 at least and if you order more we'll have em for others who join later on.

Brian, I don't find you very old at all and as far as being pretty, it's that cross between C3PO, George Cluney and Greta Van Sustren look that really turns me on.

Brian, no disrespect you are pretty, pretty f'n old!!!  But we need peeps like you to help the young-ins understand how it was in the old days.  Like when you went to school in the snow, no shoes, up hill (BOTH WAYS).  They need to know how it was before jesus was born.  And for that I say THANKS!!  [thumbsup]

Who loves ya baby!!

It's good when you make old people laugh. It takes their mind off their aches and pains and it keeps them from heading toward the light! [laugh] May you all be riding and having fun on two wheels long after you hit my carbon dated age... just as long as it's not on a Segway or some electric, speed restricted piece of crap! [thumbsup] [moto] Hey, the nice thing about it is when the cops pull me over for speeding they are surprised I'm not 20 something and figure I'm borrowing my son's bike and feel sorry for me that I couldn't read the numbers on the speedo!! Got that going for me. [clap]

OK, um Lisa, so could you, ah, just go ahead and fill it out and send it to me.  Yeah.  That'd be grea-a-a-t.

OMG, I don't think I've laughed so much recently. This is better than stand-up. Brian, don't let them intimidate you like that. Just remember that when parking at the next meet you can be closer to the door!! Where is the little blue wheelchair hangie down thingy anyways? Was that an AARP sticker on your windshield I saw Sunday? I'm here for ya.
