Emergency Medical Information
Keep it on your bike, keep it on your person.
While opinions differ among Gold Wingers and emergency
professionals as to the “best” location for a completed emergency
medical information card, everyone agrees having medical information
about you and your co-rider available somewhere on your bike as well as
in your wallet makes good sense.
While many Gold Wingers put their information inside the left hand
fairing pocket of their Gold Wings. Other (particularly those who have
replaced the left fairing pocket with some kind of accessory) prefer
storing their information inside the travel trunk.
Anyone with a serious medical condition should probably wear a
Medic-Alert bracelet, too. A recent suggestion is to strategically place
a brightly lettered sign on your bikes dash, fairing pocket or travel
trunk saying “Medical information inside” or specifying the location.
We suggest you consider using a version of the form provided below,
perhaps on day-glo orange paper, fill out the information, laminate it
or seal it inside a zipper-type sandwich bag, and store it either inside
your left hand faring pocket or wherever you specify its location.
