Somewhere between 11:50 & 13:00, I'd say your lead man ran out his turn signal fluid.😊 I enjoyed this video quite a bit. Nice roads. I'd love to hit 'em with my DR650. Thanks for the footage. "Thumbs up" from this ole Kentucky boy!👍
You have a sharp eye! I never noticed that on the T dub. The section from Two's to Robbinsville is an incredible leg. We leave next Sunday and head to Damascus, and we are starting a four day ride on the Mid Atlantic bdr. Michael is all healed up from dropping his DR on the second day and will be riding with us. Let us know when you want to ride!
Not being mean or anything. Just an educational thing here, but with all Do respect. We are not Ambulance drivers. There is much more to our job than just driving an Ambulance. We are highly trained (EMS) Emergency Medical Service providers. Calling us Ambulance drivers is nothing more than calling us a limo driver. Because that's all they do. Is drive Limos. Not down grading Limo Drivers. Their jobs are just as important as any other job, but with WAAAAAAY less training than what EMT's or Paramedics has to have. Myself, I have spent 6+ years in school training to be a critical care Paramedic. That's equivalent too, if not more training than a (RN) Registered Nurse gets. I know you don't/didn't mean anything by it when you said. "Ambulance Driver". I wish people would get out of the habit of calling EMS personal "Ambulance drivers". Call them (EMT's) which stand for Emergency Medical technicians, Medics or what we what we call ourselves is. (Ditch Doctors) lol. When you have a bad accident and are ejected from the vehicle or thrown off the Motorcycle and end up laying in the ditch. We are the ones that comes to the scene of the accident and actually saves your life while you are laying in that ditch. NOT! the Doctors, but us EMS guys/girls LOL.. We call it Fighting the (TGH). The Golden Hour (which begins at the time of the accident. Not after we arrive). Getting a person medical help during the TGH is a determining factor in whether you live or die in a traumatic accident. People don't realize that. It's our job to bring the (ER) Emergency Room to you instead of you to the ER. We understand as EMT's/Medics that the ER Doctors get's all the Glory, pay and credit for saving peoples lives after the fact and all we get is this. We get the satisfaction of knowing we saved a persons life which means more to us EMT's/Medics than any credit or all the money in the world for that matter. We do it because we love helping people. That's why it bothers me when we are called "Ambulance Drivers"
Brother, you are way over thinking things and are way too sensitive about your job. I spent 21 years as an Leo and have thousands of hours of training. Even in retirement I still train. In fact, I'm in Arizona this week running a training program. I was a cop and not a rocket scientist. I have nothing to prove about what my profession was or what I should be called. I could care less what anyone called me. Trust me when I say that I've been called worse than an ambulance driver. And thank you for your service.
Brother man. I appreciate your service in LE, I to am a retired flight medic, Firefighter and police Officer and assistant Police Chief. I retired in 2020 with 23 years of service under my belt. During those 23 years, I was shot not once, but twice and hit for the second time in my life by a car while on a traffic stop. Now. I do not know about you but, I have dedicated my whole life to the emergency profession and serving the people starting at the age of 17. I started as a firefighter and worked my way up to a flight medic for Life Star. When I was 20 years old, I was hit by a car and had to be flown to UT Hospital while working an accident on I-40. Spent a month in the hospital. That’s what got me interested in becoming a flight medic. I was hit again in 2019 on a traffic stop that only broke my left leg and knee joint causing me to have to have a total knee replacement and that’s what retired me or I would still be working as a Police Officer. I was shot 09 on a traffic stop & again in 2014 on a domestic, one of those times the vest stopped it ,but the other didn’t. I spent three weeks in the hospital. All of those times I didn’t have an Ambulance driver save my life. It was highly skilled EMS professional and Flight Medics that saved my life. With all that said. Speaking as a Police Officer, I have been called everything you can think of and I’m like you. I give two shits less what you call me. It’s water off a ducks back to me. I was just speaking up for all the others out there like my nephew who is also working his ass off to become a flight medic who won’t speak up when they are called Ambulance drivers by people who don’t know better. That’s all I was pointing out. Hope your training goes well and you don’t need them highly trained Ambulance drivers as you call them to chauffeur a bunch of rent a cops to the hospital. Lol
