Sorry to hear about your brother dude. Might be a good opportunity to appeal to any bikers out there who wanna try make a difference. Join the Anthony Nolan register now. It's a small price to pay at the thought of saving a life. A small drop of blood is all it takes to be put on the register and you could make a massive difference to someone's life.

I did it a few years ago when a local appeal for a blood match was launched in my area. They held a clinic and all I did was give a blood sample and that was it. I'm on a register now for potential cross matches for bone marrow types to hopefully save a life.

If anyone is interested, here's their link

Just found this for the same thing in the UK. A fitting way to go for any biker I'd say.

Motorcycle Drawn Hearses in the UK

the bad thing is over in the u.s i can not give blood and stuff as I'm from England
they told me it had something to do to the mad cow disease
but if I'm in England i can give
it sucks cos i want to give blood just can't till i go back over the pond

That's ridiculous. Don't they screen their blood? The only time you can't give blood here is if you've had a transfusion and that was connected to the cjd mad cow disease thing. What if you became US citizen?
