Motorcycle EMS riders????

I get to finally get my 250R from my parents house on Sunday :D Missed it :D
 
Was riding to Chipotle on my bike for some lunch when I saw an ambulance and an engine blocking a lane. Pull up to the lane a bit more and see this.

Spoke with a couple of the firefighters for a bit. They found it comical that a Paramedic was on a motorcycle right next to another bike wreck. :blush:



Rider is ok

I wonder if those frame sliders helped save the engine at all...

Glad the rider is alright.
 
I was hungry so I hopped on my bike and rode to the Taco Bell and did the drive thru. Hilarity ensued.


Gave my order and drove up... wish I had a camera for the girls face. First thing she said was "Oh! You're my first motorcycle ever!" She asked how I held food and I pointed to my tank bag.

Got my food, and by that time 4 of the T-Bell employees, and a few of the customers, were staring at me as I drove off.




Derek... do a drive-thru. I want to buy a helmet cam just to catch their reactions.

I'm assuming you didn't get a soda? (Or a bottle if so)

I'm actually a little surprised the weight of your bike even set off the bell for the drive-thru.
 
Naw, I don't get drinks, waste of money considering I have enough at home.



Hotel, how's the bike treating ya?



One of the other medics at the station bought me a gremlin bell for me to put on my bike.

It's great. I'm almost at 600 miles. Have to take it into the dealer for it's initial service once it hits 600. Running like a dream.

Hows the ninjette?
 
Read through the whole thread, has me itching for getting a bike next year (graduation present to myself) Even being in medic school and being broke, my cycle savings account never gets touched. As soon as I'm full fledged and get an OK job, ohhhh baby, it's Triumph time.
 
Hotel wrecked. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Motorcycles are dangerous.

Motorcycles aren't dangerous... People are dangerous.

My bike is fine, just have to replace a mirror.

hotel, post the full story man!
 
I was in the left lane, in the left lane position, on a divided boulevard. Coming down the road, to a stoplight, a car pulls next to me, and begins to merge quickly into my lane, while slowing fairly hard for the stoplight. I start emergency braking (did pretty well, didn't lock up either wheel), and just as I'm almost clear of the car, my front tire hits a pot hole, twisting the bars hard, sending the bike on it's side, and pinning me under. The best part? People didn't stop to help. The cars behind me moved into the other lane, and were just staring. I'd say it was a good 5 minutes before a person out for a jog ran over to help me out.
 
Doesnt matter whos fault its still dangerous
 
^ Thank you Sasha for pointing out what we all already know. Life is full of risks, everybody has to decide how much risk is acceptable to them. And I've been in two major accidents and numerous small ones (mostly off road) so I know how dangerous they are.
 
You're welcome.
 
yep

work at a track tuesday and thursday mornings then wheni get off work ride all evening there!
 
Met another Ninjette rider that actually lives like 2 minutes away. We're meeting up in 30 minutes and going to hit what are supposed to be some pretty good twisties nearby. Well.. twisty for Texas.



80 mile, 2.5 hour ride.

I've been in a few accidents, survived them all. Let's see... on the highway, a car pulls to a stop sign, I don't have one, she pulls out right in front of me. Cut off by a dump truck. Cut off by a highway department pick-up truck. Cut off by a cop. Rear ended by a college girl texting... Most of the motorcycle accidents I deal with write up just like these. There is the occasional "I'm invincible on a Ninja! Let's do tricks on a freeway during ruch hour!" kids...
