Thanks for the info about the tags. I think I am going to order the dog
tags. Geri has a great point about medical personnel not checking wallets,
but looking for bracelets or necklaces.
Thanks.
Dave

Geri's right - wear the info where they'll find it. I've also heard that
the contents of wallets can wind up scattered all over the place in a
collision.

Wristbands, Ankle Tags, Shoe Tags, Dog Tags... I personally went for the dog
tags over a year ago after one of the all too common stories about a rider
that couldn't be ID'd after being hit.
They'll engrave up to 6 lines of text on each tag: name, address, ICE names
and #s, blood type, insurance info...
