Although I could argue that an hour or two of SOMETHING is better than nothing, even if it's mostly don'ts.
We would be interested in seeing what the interest is in a two day course after any of the meetings. If narly or anyone else anywhere is interested in teaching such a course at any of our meets, we're happy to include it.
A good first aid kit list would be of great interest - post it and let's discuss it and see what we can all come up with and I'll add it to the site. Perhaps a fresh thread? "the ideal first aid kit"?

Hi Grant
I've helped a friend of mine on a couple of occasions. He runs a First Aid training company and, as a keen motorcyclist, was invovled in the first aid input to the original BikeSafe scheme.
He does run motorcycle specific courses but as you say, they generally take a FULL day. He does not believe that the area can be adequately covered in a half day.
Here's his website -
Motorcycle Related First Aid Training - Aline Associates
He's always willing to travel and I'm sure if enough people were interested he'd be happy sort something out for you.
Hope this is of help - having stood at the side of the road not knowing what to do when my wife had a bike accident, one of the first things I did was sort myself out some training when we got back to the UK. Would recommend the same for anyone else.
Cheers
Manic
