Blood Sweat & Gears: Ramblings on Motorcycling and Medicine
$11.00
List Price:$12.95
by flash gordon, m.d.
NOTE: Only 1 copy left! This book is now out of print.
Though you may have forgotten everything you learned about first aid and safety in school, you’ll never forget it again after reading this book on motorcycle medicine. Dr. flash gordon (lower case intentional) is an emergency physician and motorcycling veteran, a combination allowing him a unique perspective on lifesaving instruction for motorcyclists.
The book covers topics such as checking someone who’s had an accident, and treating road rash properly. Are you experiencing lower back pain, leg burns, hearing or sinus problems—even hemorrhoids? This book provides sensible advice about what you can treat and what you need to leave to the professionals.
We’re sure you’ll find immense value in this inexpensive book. Not only is it informative, but it’s also filled with amusing—and sometimes sobering—emergency room anecdotes. It addresses the most common health problems for motorcyclists with humor and style. Plus, if it helps you save the time and expense of a doctor’s visit, this book is a sweet pill to swallow.

Ride Hard, Ride Smart is a practical, hands-on survival guide for the average motorcyclist.

The three degrees of separation are riding strategies, training and skills, and protective gear. The author rates motorcycle risk and riding on a scale of one to ten. Using the three degrees of separation, a rider can get the risk level down to a controllable level, creating the safest possible situation on a moving motorcycle.
