I read this on another board and felt that it should be passed on to the whole MC community.

This is not a bad idea.....ICE your phone now!!!

I always wonder about stuff that looks like one too many e-mails have been forwarded...however this one is TRUE.

Not a bad idea at all.

Yeah, it can never hurt -- just in case.... And let's not forget the little contact info pockets that are available -- they have adhesive so you can stick them either inside your helmet, or under your seat/cowl. Even if you've "iced" your cell phone, it can't hurt to make sure your info is in an additional spot.

Nice find Nick....I have a friend on another board that is a Paramedic and he posted up an word doc a while back with some great info on what to do if you have a rider go down in your group. Let me get the OK from him and I will post that up as well.
