If any of you have been following along, it seems like every time I go out in one of my cars, there is some sort of event. For the most part, in the past, I have been somewhat of an animal savior.
Rescuing god’s creatures from certain death, so they could live their lives to the fullest –
(If you’ve seen these vids before you can skip them)

My first save was a squirrel (ok, I wasn’t in the car when I found him, but I drove my car over there) – For those that haven’t seen the video, you can view it here:

Next was this large turtle that was trying to cross the road –

Then I had to break up a horrible fight between two deer –

Most recently, I had to rescue yet another turtle from becoming road pizza – (this is a Power Point file that my friend Jay did since he took the pics)

So I guess I've graduated from animals to humans -

Which brings us to today – I take the Lambo out, and meet up with some 6speed.com guys – We head up to Sussex County to hit some nice roads. So I’m leading the way, and I head up the mountain at High Point State Park, come around a bend, and I see a Harley upside down, and someone laying on the side of the road. I immediately pull over. I am essentially the first on the scene, and as I pull out my cell phone to call 911, a woman pulls up and says she’s on the phone already with 911, but she doesn’t know where she is – So I give her the proper info, and she relays it to the operator.

I go up to the accident scene, and I see an older gentleman lying in the rocks. I ask him some basic info “Do you know what day it is?” “What’s your name?” etc…He did know it was Sunday, but didn’t know what year it was. He just kept saying, “I really just want to get on my bike and continue on my way.”

I inform him that is not going to happen. As he’s trying to get up, I see his cell phone lying beneath him. I pick it up and try finding some emergency contacts. (People, if you’re reading this, and you have not ‘ICE’d your cell phone, please do so now – Put the person you want emergency personnel to call under “ICE” on your phone – ICE = In Case of Emergency). Needless to say he didn’t ICE his phone, so I called some random people in his phone, but no one answered.
A few other people show up that say they were EMT’s or something, and a few minutes later the Park Rangers show up, followed by the NJ State Police. Since they had the situation under control, I give his phone to the police, and let them take over.
He may have bumped his head, but I can say with certainty, if he had a jacket on, ANY type, leather, textile, mesh, whatever – He would have had very, very minor injuries. His road rash looked pretty bad, and it was on both arms, his back, and side. People wear your gear, and ride safe!
Here are a few pics I took with my phone.

 

Hey Mike that's crazy, we passed that guy at one point but how long after we broke off did that happen? I can't believe your luck with that stuff.

 

It was a while after. We were on our way back from the run. Ferdanan (sp?) and I were REALLY tearing up the roads up there. Police activity that does not directly involve me is always a good thing.

 

it was nice talking with you today I also got some shots of your car I can post them if You will allow?

 

Of course. Post away.

 

can't post pics something is up.

 

Hey!

We broke off after you guys passed the one guy on the off road from 23. I'm editing pics at the moment.

Good to see you saved a biker, I most of all know how much help really means when your in that position. Hope you guys had a safe ride home, hope to see you next week

 

You're probably better off - We were conducting some hooliganism, and were lucky no LEO were waiting for us.


I could never live with myself if I just went about my day passing someone lying on the road in need of help. If I saw the police and EMT's there, then I wouldn't feel compelled to stop, but when NO ONE is there, you HAVE TO stop - Anyone that wouldn't is just too selfish.

Not to mention, I ride bikes, too - So I'd always lend a hand to a biker - Crashed, out of gas, broke down, etc - I'd always offer a hand.

 

Either way you know if you got pulled al you'd need to do is text me

I have a new avatar for you I'll send it you tomorrow, gotta join the othe site too

 

Sweet - You can send the pics to

Thanks!
