Ride! Podcast Guest is Motorcycling Dr. “Doc Flash”

Adrian Blake’s guest tomorrow (Wednesday at 8:30 pm EST) on his Ride! podcast is ‘Doc flash’ aka the Motorcycling Doctor, who I met by chance in a gas station in Marin. (See blog entry.) For years flash gordon, m.d., has dispensed practical medical advice, along with a good dose of humor, through his ‘Medical Motorcycling’ column in Motorcycle Consumer News. His book is a great read and, more than that, an essential reference guide for motorcyclists to absorb before we fall off our bikes. How to treat road rash? How to pop your shoulder back into its socket in an emergency? How to keep your teeth viable while you’re on your way to the hospital? The doc’s got all the techniques to make all those moments you never want to experience a better experience. Ride! will talk to the doc with the superhero name about Blood, Sweat & 2nd Gear: More Medicine for Motorcyclists, a collection of those columns. (Order the book, here.) Ride! is an Internet radio podcast hosted by Adrian Blake, a longtime motorcycle columnist, that will air tomorrow at 8:30 pm. EST.  Check it out live and participate, or hear it on the archive at your convenience. Here’s where to go.
