Default The Rescue Riders

The Rescue Riders program was established to exemplify how bikers as
individuals, and collectively, make our great nation a safer and more
compassionate place to live.

We accomplish our mission by recruiting bikers into public service in
support of each other, our communities and our nation. We do this by helping
provide our volunteers with the tools and training needed to provide
emergency assistance in times of need.

Rescue Riders offer assistance on an individual basis as Good Samaritan's,
and directly support professional emergency response organizations in times
of need. Quite simply, Rescue Riders invest their time in helping those in
need.

Thanks, this reminds me to get this sticker for my helmet:

"Do NOT remove my helmet unless you are a trained medical professional."

Like the case of the guy who, because it was so bitterly cold riding
home, took his leather jacket off and put it on backwards - to make
better seal from wind.

Hit a tree and was laying there unconcious when the ambulance crew
arrived.

Paramedic to base: "The guy was breathing and suddenly died."

Base to paramedic: "How come?"

Parameric to base: "Well, he was laying there and seemed okay, except
for the fact his head was facing backwards. So I turned it to face
forward again and, suddenly, he just stopped breathing."

Excellent. I was taught the same when I took AMA Marshall certification
classes.

I was just pointing out, that to an extent, we are all responsible for our
own well being.

Good luck with the cause, it is worthwile. I am no leader, but if your
organization makes it to Utah I'll look into taking the classes. I'm not
too old or cynical to learn a thing or 2.

Don't Gives Us That SHIT! All You Morons Are LAW-BREAKERS!



FOR CHRIST'S FUCKIN' SAKE, CAN'T YOU JUST GET IT OVER WITH?


The brothers sped away from the cops at 100 per, one on a STOLEN
cycle. And these guys didn't deserve to DIE?

They died horribly, I'm happy to say, in the manner in which many
motorcycle nuts die -- SPEEDING BEYOND COMPREHENSION!

But face it, moto-jerks ... the ONLY reason YOU infantile outlaws RIDE
these things is so YOU CAN BREAK THE LAWS OF THE ROAD!

So here's hoping many more of you nitwits kill yourselves this week.
As long as you don't kill or maim others, I look upon your deaths as I
do the daily shooting, stabbing, and OD deaths of drug users and
dealers in our nations' ghettos!

In fact, I always smile inwardly when I read or hear of another
motorcyclist's death! One less dimwit on the highway. One less jerk
on a screaming 140 dbl machine weaving crazily in and out of lanes,
speeding past the "slow" law-abiders, waiting to cut another sucker
off! No need to bother about stop signs and red lights, is there,
pea-brains?

No question -- the world is better off without ALL OF you!

Check out THIS comedy! It made MY day!

"Motorcycle Ride Ends in Tragedy for Brothers"

"Police Radar Shows Speeds of Up to 100 MPH Before Crashes Off an Exit
Ramp in Baltimore"

By Aaron C. Davis
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, June 20, 2008; B01



The Heureaux brothers were riding motorcycles, heading north on
Interstate 95 near Laurel, Maryland, when at speeds of nearly 100 mph
they raced by a state police trooper armed with a radar gun.

The trooper pulled his car out and turned on his lights, a state
police spokesman said yesterday, describing the events of Sunday.
About 16 miles later, Suky Amin Heureaux, 25, and Suky Shamin
Heureaux, 24, died in nearly simultaneous crashes on an exit ramp in
Baltimore.

Today, in Prince George's County, a wake will be held for the
brothers, one of whom was riding a stolen bike, police said. The
service will be attended by family and friends from the Washington
area's Dominican community, some of whom wonder whether the trooper
chased the brothers, a contention police deny.

"They tell me they were racing, that's all they tell me," Maximo
Heureaux, 45, who shared his home in Landover with his sons, said of
his limited contact with investigators. "I don't believe the police;
nobody here believes the police. We all need to know what really
happened."

Sgt. Arthur Betts, a police spokesman, denied that there was a chase
and said the trooper, James Davis, appears to have followed state
police policies.

"This all could have been prevented if they had stopped," Betts said
of the brothers. "The trooper didn't do anything to make them crash
their motorcycles."

Police declined to released the agency's pursuit policy yesterday,
saying the agency must receive a mailed written request before doing
so. Betts, however, said that unlike in many area jurisdictions that
only allow police to pursue felony suspects, Maryland state troopers
are allowed to chase traffic violators.

The issue has special resonance in the Maryland suburbs. Last year, a
Prince George's County police officer's pursuit of a motorcyclist on
the Capital Beltway led to a fatal seven-car pileup; the officer has
been indicted on two counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Betts said Davis clocked three bikers traveling north at about 100 mph
near the exit to Maryland Route 32. Betts said Davis pulled his car
onto the highway, two bikers pulled over, and what he thought was one
biker -- it turned out to be two -- kept going.

Davis did not stop to write a ticket. Davis tried to "catch up" with
the remaining biker but did not chase him, Betts said. Davis did not
request permission to initiate a high-speed pursuit, which would have
required a supervisor's approval, Betts said.

Betts declined to release Davis's maximum speed. He said Davis only
lost sight of the biker at the entrance to the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel
on Interstate 895 in Baltimore, shortly before the crashes Sunday.

With the brothers that day was Pedro Gervacio, 31, who was the lead
rider as the three neared Route 32. Gervacio said a fourth motorcycle
had been with the group, but he was not sure if the rider was with the
group when they passed the police car.

At the tunnel's toll plaza, Davis stopped to see whether cameras
recorded the bike's license plates. The brothers crashed after exiting
the tunnel; each was thrown off an elevated highway as he attempted to
negotiate the off-ramp to Holabird Avenue.

Friends of the brothers, both of whom were fathers, said they probably
fled because they had recently learned from a friend that one of the
bikes, bought this spring from an acquaintance, had been reported
stolen. Suky Shamin also might have been driving with a suspended
license, court records show.

Gervacio said he saw the police car, lifted his right arm and tapped
the top of his helmet, a signal to the others that an officer was
ahead. They slowed, Gervacio said, and he did not see the trooper
leave his post. More than three miles later, however, Gervacio said he
looked in his rear-view mirror and saw the trooper closing fast with
his lights and sirens on.

Gervacio said he pulled over, but the brothers kept going north on
I-95, faster than they had when they first passed the police officer
at the side of the road. Gervacio said the trooper also was clearly
chasing both brothers at that point. He estimated that the cruiser was
five car lengths behind the two bikes.

"That's the last time I saw any of them," Gervacio said.

Several minutes later, an employee at a trucking company at the base
of Holabird exit heard the crash and called police after he saw a
black helmet rolling down the exit ramp. The police were not far
behind, he said.

"When I was on the phone, I could hear the sirens," said the employee,
who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said he had a prior
criminal record and feared retaliation by police.

The body of Suky Shamin traveled 150 feet beyond the elevated ramp
before landing near a railroad line. The body of Suky Amin was found
below the ramp.

For Maximo Heureaux, an employee of the Maryland-National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission, the deaths ended a link that he said
went with the nickname he had bestowed on both sons. As a young child
in the Dominican Republic, Maximo said he was known for yelling "Suky"
when he saw neighborhood boys riding Suzukis by his parents' home.

"It was my lucky nickname," he said. "I gave it to both of them."
