:(

I just saw that :(

I'm just blown away... man that sucks!

RIP Bill!

My God...

I cant remember a time on a Motorcycle forum in the last decade without Bill. He was one of those core members that you figured would just always be there. Whether chatting about Cars or just BSing on AIM Bill was a great guy to talk to and to "Know". The posts here and on other forums are proof of this.

He will be missed.

RIP William Kaucky.

RIP Bill...what a pisser.

Not a great way to see some old faces/screen names again.

Best,
James

I don't drop in much these days, but I heard the sad news.

RIP 101lifts

The local ambulance service is American Medical Response (AMR), which is a for-profit company, so that's out. They suggested Cal Fire--I talked to the local sergeant and he said they're not allowed to take donations. Closest he could suggest is talking to Cal Trans to get a sign put up memorializing, but that doesn't sound too useful IMO.

Ideas?

It doesn't appear that there is anything that could have been done for 101 but maybe if we could find an organization that does training for basic 1st aid stuff. Kind of like the CPR/AED classes except people learn more trauma related incidences such as bleeding control, shock, spinal immobilization, etc which would be more likely in a motorcycle crash.

Or maybe look into starting or working on an organization that teaches motorcyclists some basic 1st aide training.

While its not specifically motorcycle related, if you have a local Red Cross they do that type of training...I've got my Adult and Child CPR Certs and My First Aid Cert training, got it in one day at the local office. Firefighters often do alot of training, perhaps see if they would incorporate motorcycle specific type training. I know for a fact many first responders have no clue what not to do with a downed biker, first thing they try to do is rip off that helmet. Just a thought.
