Body: TRAVELING SEASON ~PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS. LIVES MAY DEPEND ON IT.



PLEASE PREPARE FOR ALL EMERGENCY'S WHILE TRAVELING

FEMALE RIDERS: PLEASE DO NOT WEAR SHORTS AND HEELS FOR LONG DISTANCE RIDES, IF SO WEAR CHAPS OVER YOUR SHORTS. HEELS ARE DANGEROUS, IF YOU HAVE TO BRAKE HARD IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO HOLD YOUR BIKE. HEELS WILL SLIP IF YOUR FOOT PEGS ARE CHROME, ALSO FOR UPGRADES NOT A GOOD IDEAL "YOUR HEELS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH" TO STOP YOU IF YOU ROLL BACK, WEAR THE CORRECT RIDING GEAR AND CHANGE INTO YOUR SASSY SEXY CLOTHES UPON ARRIVAL.



I LOVE MY SISTERS ENOUGH TO SAY IT, TRUE DIVA'S PUT SAFETY FIRST.



#1 issue I have on ground when traveling long distance, OVER PACKING I have to stop over packing. When the temperature rises I didn't leave enough space in my saddle bags to store my jacket or chaps, lesson learned don't over pack. I only needed 1/2 of the shoes, jeans make-up etc i packed.



CELL PHONE:

LOG THE WORD...... ICE IN YOUR CELL PHONE, UNDER THIS NAME LOG THE PHONE NUMBER OF THE PERSON THAT SHOULD BE CONTACTED IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.



I.C.E. STANDS FOR IN CASE OF EMERGENCY~ ALL LAW AND MEDICAL RESPONSE PERSONNEL HAS BEEN INFORMED TO CHECK YOUR CELL PHONE FOR EMERGENCY REASON'S, ALL PARAMEDICS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOWS WHAT THE WORD ICE MEANS, THEY WILL CALL THAT NUMBER.




WHEN TRAVELING IN A GROUP GIVE YOUR FRIENDS A LIST OF MEDICATIONS YOUR ALLERGIC TO, GIVE THEM PHONE NUMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAS LEGAL RIGHTS TO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS ON YOUR BEHALF. DO NOT ASSUME YOUR FRIENDS WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO.




KEEP YOUR CELL PHONE CHARGED WHEN ON THE ROAD, TRY NOT TO MAKE UN-NECESSARY CALLS, IT WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY AND AS A BIKER YOU CAN'T CHARGE IT. NEVER LET YOUR CELL DIE WHILE ON THE ROAD.




IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONCERNS (EXAMPLE: DIABETES, HEART PROBLEMS, HEPATITIS BACK PROBLEMS) INFORM THE FOLKS YOU TRAVEL WITH. I HAD MAJOR BACK SURGERY SO PLEASE IF I GO DOWN KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE ME, LAY ME ON MY SIDE NOT MY BACK. THANK GOD I HAVEN'T GONE DOWN AND PRAY NONE OF YOU WILL.




WE ARE TOLD NOT TO MOVE FOLKS IF THEY GO DOWN "WRONG" DEPENDS ON THE PROBLEM. IF THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85 TO 90 DEGREES MOVE THE PERSON FROM THE CEMENT ONTO GRASS OR DIRT. THE TEMPERATURE ON THE CEMENT IS HIGHER AND MAY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. IF YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY MOVE THE PERSON FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR STOP TRAFFIC.




REMOVE THE RIDERS HELMET, IT MAY CAUSE FURTHER BREATHING CONCERNS.




IF POSSIBLE BROKEN NECK WAIT FOR PARAMEDICS PLEASE "DO NOT REMOVE THE HELMET"

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE KEEP AN EYE ON STREET SIGNS, CALL 911 GIVE EXACT LOCATION NOT ESTIMATED AREA.




BIKERS: YOUR ROAD CAPTAIN OR OTHERS SHOULD KNOW CPR AND FIRST AID, IF NOT HAVE THEM TAKE THE CLASS IT MAY SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.



I'M THE ROAD CAPTAIN FOR TRUE PASSION SMC, I CARRY THE FOLLOWING WITH ME WHEN I'M ON GROUND AND WILL ASK MY SISTERS TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE SAME INFO WHEN WE TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE.
