    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    Nina - First Ride !!! I've got about fifty clandestine miles on her now (no plates yet) and nothing's fallen off, LOL !!! You know in our biz we gotta stay away from the moving violations. I have an appointment at the DMV in about week to get her registered but damn, I'm like a newlywed, I...

    Finished up Nina's wiring enough for a motor bump . . . Anybody but me hear that? I think her first words were, "Da Da!" http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/1260225/Ze7EZ27GbWFwZm3HYeX&pos=ancr :)

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    >>"after all the messed up scenes you've been on, you're still riding that thing?"<< I suppose that happens to all of us. I see more that few rider induced accidents but also a lot of cages turning left into oncoming bikes. And the cage driver inevitably always says, "I didn't see him!" If...

    >>I don't want a 'cruiser' because I'd probably drop the thing within a week and break something<< Have you taken a look at the new Harley Tri-Glide? They're a bit spendy but I saw one at the dealership the other day and they are beautiful machines. Here's a review...

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    I bought a '94 600 Honda VLX for my GF when she was learning to ride. It was a pretty neat machine. I had it for three or four years and never had to touch it with a wrench. (You gotta hand it to Mr. Honda when it comes to reliability!) On the oil thing - I've forgotten how the oil tank is...

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    Just an update on my build . . . I installed the belt drive and I'm doing the wiring now. Exhaust pipes are coming this week! Getting close to pushing the start button . . . Laid on the paint in my garage. I built myself a hillbilly paint booth (just plastic sheathing) but it worked...

    Older new guy needs your input

    I did EMT school at 52 years old and now at 54 I recently completed a para-prep course and soon I'll start paramedic school at UCLA. In the two years I've worked as an EMT I never found my age a problem. In fact since I'm older than most of EMTs, fire-medics, doctors, and nurses I work around...

    EMS KNIGHTS MC California

    >>We are not a 1% and we WILL go WHERE EVER we want to.<< LOL, Okay Captain America, since it’s obvious you didn’t research your decision to run a three piece patch, with a bottom rocker denoting territory no less, here’s why not . . . There’s nothing wrong with forming a Sunday riding...

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    >>Not sure if this was posted but in NSW, they have these<< Boy, that would be the cure for, "We need more time, we're grid locked," here in Los Angeles! On the security front we need someone like this guy . . . LOL

    >>Head it up?? !! I plan on being the bad example that weekend<< Okay, can't blame you for that, I'll be the drunk *** you're tripping over. :P We'll keep looking . . . :)

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    >>Ural rider here... I'll post pic's later.. I've been riding for over 35 years.<< Hey TraprMike, Got any organizing experience? We need a mature type (not a knock, I'm old too) to head up security at the EMS Bash (we really need a name for this thing.) We need someone level headed so...

    Motorcycle EMS riders????

    Well I think as it is now there will be a lot of riding just to get there for most. But in a way you're right. We should and probably would hold some type of scheduled ride once we are all there. You know, show the flag and all. And that brings up another issue. How long does this thing go...
