Hows things going now some time has past since that day?

Hope your coping well mate

 

Things are ok. I don’t think I’ll ever truly forget. It comes to mind every time I get on the bike but like most things in this system, you just get on with it.

I have to remind myself sometimes of the event because I find myself being careless otherwise... I didn’t know it was possible to have “too much” fun.

Aye it will stay with you forever, and not wrong about you can actually have too much fun.

My accident taught me that

I hope you're doing ok mate, you did everything anyone could have done. My brother and I were in a similar situation ourselves but the poor guys friends were so worried about causing a neck/spine injury they wouldn't let us touch him even though he clearly wasn't breathing.

I highly recommend the Biker Down Course. They run them all over the country and its normally given by the fire brigade. It's totally free, guy wouldn't even accept my donation for the tea and biscuits fund. Friendly casual environment, no test etc and you even get a free first aid kit to keep in your bike. They aren't even surprised when you ask to sit in the truck like a 5 year old.

They teach you how to manage the scene, move the casualty, helmet removal, CPR as well as practices to keep you safer when you are riding.

Could be a bit nuts out there when we can go be out. Be safe everyone

You're welcome. The more we can spread the word the more likely someone will be able to help us out should we ever need it.

Did the Biker Down course about 6 weeks ago.

Well worth a few hours of your time. Hadn't done any first aid stuff for as long as I can remember so that was very informative too.
