Ride-to-Save Drive 2008
I got the following in my email today:
Gear up to save lives!
Dar Al Shifa Hospital and the Kuwait BMW Motorcycles Club are delighted to cordially invite you to the first annual Ride-to-Save Drive 2008. Kuwait’s first ever motorcycling event committed to raising blood donation awareness.
The event will be held on Saturday, 19th April, 2008 starting 3:00 pm at the Green Island parking lot.
Join motorcycling enthusiasts as they ride from Green Island to Dar Al Shifa Hospital, Hawally to symbolically demonstrate their support towards the importance and benefits of blood donation. To practise what they preach, the participants will also donate blood at the Hospital after the ride.

I hate to be mean and everything. I really appreciate what the guys are doing and all.
But, is this how they show support? by riding bike from Green Island to the hospital? Whats so supportive in that? wouldn’t it be better if they volunteered in helping people in there or something instead of just dragging their bikes for few Kms?
Yet i appreciate the spirit of supporting and all… but they’re supporting in a wrong way (well its just me)

LOL. So they’re trying to cell more bikes? So more people get into accidents and end up at Dar al Shifa? Now thats a great advertising. lol.

many bikers ride safer than many car drivers. lets look at the bright side instead.
is there statistics that says anything about motorcycle accidents are higher than motor vehicles accidents? up and until then, lets turn things around. why wait for other nations to do stuff like this blood donation and bikers thing then copy them? ! ! ! ! !
its good initiative. i like it.
