LOL! No the mass casuality bit is for large events or god forbid something nasty happen an lots and lots of people got hurt all at once. The trucks carry extra supplies and equipement along with all the stuff to set up a triage area to treat large groups of injured people based on how bad they are hurt. The Medic's on bicycles is pretty cool too... it works really good for outdoor events.

Yeah we know each other! (dang, now I can't get by with all my lies on here anymore!) I ride the white and black RC51 and the green KLR650. I wouldn't really call that Norton old! It's practically in brand new shape! You've been missing some good riding weather up here. We've had several days in the 60's since late November.

Stokes has been telling me that you've been giving him info on the advantages of an Auto over a Manual on a diesel Now you know a manual is much better We'll debate this over a cold Dr. Enuff at the store

See ya there!

I saw that on WCYB too. When they first started talking about trouble from the Ford I said they've gotta be talking about the 6.0.

BTW I work in Kingsport.

What's wrong with the V10. Ford should recall them and replace the engines with the V10 gasser at $130-150K per ambulance.
