Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) This is something that ive always wanted to do, but never got round to it. However, having just got back from a shopping trip, and witnessed someone on a 900 fireblade being knocked off his bike and in a bad way at the side of the road....and all I could do was drive on, now means its something I am going to do, and soon.Who is the course for? Recommended for anyone who rides a motorcycle, or wishes to administer first aid or manage the initial scene of a road traffic incident.

psycho Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Im up for that , a lot will depend on the date as I have no more holidays left at work Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 im up for that one, just let me know when it is, so i can get the time off Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Great, can get a TMBF session sorted, and then can have a few pints after Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 We could do a TMBF closed session, however, that would mean people travelling and stayin over as its a one day course. Maybe better if people just tagged along to the one nearest to them...Could always combine it with a winter BBQ at mine though Quote
Guest philgale Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Could always combine it with a winter BBQ at mine though sounds like a plan, might be cold tenting it mind Quote
Guest akey Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Yes I am interested, may be able to get willow along too depending on dates location etc. We are in Matlock.Even if you are already first aid trained (as I am) this course gives some bike specifics and is well worth it as I have been informed by a few mates.

Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 And wouldnt it be good to know when out riding, that one or all of the people your riding with have completed this course, giving you some peace of mind should something happen 8) Quote

Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I'm interested need my first aid renewing Rob, remember this is bike specific training, and you would still need to update your first aid certificate as well. Quote
