Biker Down

[Al Gorithum]

A good friend of mine (retired firefighter) in an instructor on the Biker Down courses.

Really good (and free) courses about what to do and not do if first on scene at a motorcycle accident.

AFIK they're available in most areas of the UK but here's a link to a London based venue https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/safety/road-safety/...

If you're part of club etc, this could be a good and valuable half day spent.

Edit: Soz I put the wrong emoji in the title.

I did one in the Covid break and they are only worthwhile IMO if you've never done any first aid or been to an RTA

It was all common sense stuff (eg don't park on a blind bend) and very little first aid

Admittedly I have been to loads of RTA as I used to live on a bad bend, maybe I expected too much having done 1st Aid courses in the past, I wanted a refresher and it was pretty much raise a bleeding limb and watch the Vinny Jones ad for heart massage

Did one pre Covid and thought it worthwhile. Wouldn't mind doing a refresher.
