Absolutely. Look at the milage difference. Bikes aren't like cars, anything over 20k miles on a street bike is considered high mileage.



I believe 2001 was when bikes changed to fuel injection.

I thought it was around 04... but then again I'm not as familiar with SVs as I am with Kawasaki bikes
 
Ripped my pants... And... Yeah.
 
Fuel injected and mileage makes it more than worthwhile. That's a ton of miles on a motorcycle.
 
So... Now to figure out if the guy will take 3 and hold off on selling it until my next check.
Provided all goes well when I ride it.
Edit: it is 01. 2nd gen started then.
 
Lots of severe weather across the country today. For those in the affected areas, please stay safe.

The '07 would not budge on price at all. Went down $100. Guy with the '03 has basically dropped to $2,300.
Had someone else offer me his Buell Blast 500 for $2,400, but I don't think I want a thumper when I drive as much as I do.

I've ridden one, I would actually prefer my old Ninja 250 over a Blast. The bigger Buells are fun, but that one is not. Underpowered and it vibrates even worse than most thumpers I've been on.
 
So I finish my first long tour at this service tomorrow morning at 1000... Tally is 40 calls in 11 days, 3 codes, 1 flyout from scene, and 5 that I flew out on a fixed wing that I met at the airport after leaving scene (no hospital). 3 intubations, a lot of drugs, and 1 chest tube :) I'm gonna like it down here.
 
You said y'all are still hiring, right?

I believe it's quite possible. And there's a rumor we are putting a fixed wing in Fredricksburg as well soon
 
That might actually be plausible for a PR gig, then!
 
Figured you might like that. Im seriously debating moving to my grandparents old house in Boerne when my lease in ABQ is up. I'm tired of living in NM, and the commute would still be about six hours each way

Jesus. I had a motorcycle wreck with a ankle fx and open book pelvic fx, a narcotic OD in respiratory arrest that woke up with 3 squeezes of a bvm and a Cx pain that coded.

You win.
 
If you do, I'll finally have to get you that beer. Lol
 
We had a drunk chick who was found passed out in the grass by a hotel. We get on scene and start talking to her. She is alert and orientated but too drunk to walk steady or take care of herself. PD is also on scene. We call the patients "best friend" who is at a huge concert about 10 minutes away and let him know what's going on.

The officer gets on the phone and says "if you can't come and pick her we are going to have to take her to the drunk tank at the jail". Her friend then says "brah, I'm having too much fun here. Take her to jail and I'll come and get her later".

Well she doesn't want any medical attention or to be transported to the hospital so she signs AMA (after an assessment) and then is walked to the PD unit. Talk about horrible friends. Hopefully she doesn't get hit with a public intoxication charge.
 
Every once in a while, I encounter a pt who makes me reconsider my stance on eugenics.

19yo G3P2, preterm labor at 31+6. Almost completely non-compliant with prenatal care, admits to cigarette and heroin use during pregnancy, waited 10 hours from the onset of labor to seek care, because she had to go to the park. Oh yeah, she was on the nod when she presented.

Only potential bright side is that even though the pt lives with her mom, her two kids live with her aunt...maybe the aunt will do a better job.

NO matter if they were a couple of tattooed pierced shaven and zippered (and then there's their scalp hair and clothes!) individuals who hated me, if my kids stayed off drugs and alcohol (and they did) it was a win. And it has been.
