Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
I did cpr last summer on a downed bike on the side of the road, his heart
was beating but no breathing. He was only going 35 mph and wearing full face
helmet and leathers. Somehow he snapped his neck and never revived. He was
basically dead when I got there but I had to try. It was awful. I have my
motorcycle license, but would rather roll the dice doing other fun things.
You cant live in a bubble, but you can make choices. If people want to ride,
thats great, its just not for me any more.

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
I remember one time I was riding my old Honda XL350 around LA and came across
some guy who had laid his Harley Sportster down. This was before the mandatory
helmet laws and he was bleeding from his head and unconcious. There was nothing
I could do except get someone to call an ambulance.
I came across another guy in Long Beach who was driving his brand new BMW bike
(the street twin w/the cylinders which stick out from the sides). Some driver
made a left in front of him and he went down. He was OK and ready to kill the
driver (who drove away and got nailed by the cops).
I've thought about fixing my bike up so I could ride it again, just because gas
prices are so freakin' high now (I saw regular for $2.97!).

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
That's crazy. That's unbeleivable. Doesn't that North Sea Oil make any
difference in the UK? It turns out the $2.97 for regular was wrong. They were
lowering the price to $1.97 from somewhere over $2.00 and forgot to remove the
2.
