Hey Doug, I have seen some people print out a sticker that they put on their helmets, right in front where anyone could see if you are lying unconcious on the ground, with all pertinant info in case of an accident. Name, address, phone #, blood type, any allergies, etc... Also on the helmet is a big bold notice "Do NOT remove helmet!" That's in case some good samaritan gets to them first. I personally have not set my helmets up this way yet, but it is a good idea. Plus, put the info in your wallet, and if you like, put it conspicuously on the tank (or tankbag map pocket). Bright colors get attention. My 2 cents... Brian A12 P.S. See ya in Moab!

Attach it to the front of your helmet. In case of an emergency anyone attempting to remove your helmet would see it. Pete Wittstruck A16 Turlock, CA

Sounds like a very good idea. Make sure you have a cell phone and also consider a sticker on your helmet that says not to remove until in the hospital to lessen damage - I have seen a few of those.

I'm thinking of printing up some sort of ID card and carrying multiple copies - maybe one in my jacket and one on the bike. Any ideas? Better safe than sorry... Thanks, Doug B.
