The control phone rings ,
the controller is in a semi alert mode.
Half awake, half asleep.
It’s hard to sleep when doing controller.
One is conscious of missing a call but it’s also the middle of the night.
The body reacts to the time.
Depending on circumstances and time,
It can be feast or famine.
Hallo, blood bikes .
A quick exchange takes place between the hospital and control.
Details exchanged as full alert mode kicks in.
It’s just after 4 am and the dawn chorus is on overdrive .
A call to the duty rider takes place.
The controller looks out the window as he engages with the rider.
The early stage of dawn is evident as a small yellow haze breaks on the horizon.
The rider answers and details of lift and drop exchange between both with one question.
The question is can the rider have the package in Belfast by 6am.
The answer is the standard response, yes.
The controller calls the hospital back and confirms collection in 12 minutes and time line for the critical drop before 6 am confirmed.
Lift confirmed by rider shortly after he is deployed.
The controller pops the switch on the kettle for a cup of tea.
He is fully awake now so it’s tea and telly for the moment while the rest of the household sleep 💤.
Just a snap shot in time for a controller.
It’s what they do.

There is an old saying ,
Build it and they will follow.
Motor bikes are often over looked and ignored for many reasons.
Legislators don’t understand,
Joe Public has a perception etc etc.
The hairy biker with the tattoos ,
However that biker can be a surgeon, a sociologist, a doctor, a dentist, plumber or a milk man.
Under the scrubs or the bike gear you don’t see the rest only what they hand to you .
Blood , plasma, a piece of surgical equipment,
Maybe a heart valve or a drug , who knows.
What we do know is what we do .
A number of years ago a small group of bikers had a conversation and the seed was planted.
Over time the seed grew and the conversation evolved.
After years of discussion and planning a conference took place last month where like minded people involved in the medical world got together.
The common connection was bikes , used by police , fire , ambulance and medical related services.
This has now set off a worldwide trend with many countries now joining the global interest.
The result of our gathering and increasing awareness will shortly be available in a new publication.
We are bikers , it’s what we do.

There is a possibility that sometimes it’s hard to believe what’s obvious.
What’s obvious is the reading on the clock.
What’s obvious is the reality of what is .
We did a deal on a motor that many ignored due to the plate number which shows its age.
That was 6 years ago.
Its milage was low in our mind then but some felt it was old and therefore ignored.
Over the last 6 years the unit has worked endlessly in both city and country tasks.
The length and breath of Ireland,
Runs to the uk and Europe.
One of a number of units we have that all wear the badge saying Honda.
Like the pans , a true work horse.
It’s only a tool but a reliable tool.
Ignored by many and slagged.
Underrated but incredibly valuable.
Reliable to the core , part of what we are.

The road less traveled.
We get to many places and travel many roads.
This is one of those roads that takes a little bit of care when traveling.
The smaller bikes fine but the pans or fjrs in winter were always messy .
Sometimes it was better on foot.
At the end lies a house to which we have travelled to for over 3 years .
This week we had our last trip and in a very emotional goodbye our rider said goodbye in a good way to a little warrior.
Lovely child who took all in her stride.
Always a smile regardless.
We are absolutely delighted for her and her family who can now restart on a fresh sheet.
Another special day.

Sent to us by someone in a garage .
The beast on the run doing what it does.
Age , old .
Milage, unbelievable.
Reliably, incredible.
It’s a Honda, what more can be said.

While most rollover in sleep the rider rolls a towel over the seat of the bike to dry it off before departing for duty.
After some welcome rain over night it’s a fresh bright morning greeting the rider on city duty this morning.
Sunday morning in our world.
