I Hate To Throw This Out......But.....
Don't know if this helps but it did help me find my phone before. Make sure you have "mom" or "dad" programmed somewhere easy to get to. If someone finds you unconscience they can call those numbers to notify people.
Lost my phone one time and my mom called my wife to give me the info of who had found it.

I went down hard a few years ago. My phone was destroyed. It was half the thickness that it had been. It did keep me from more road rash by acting as a skid plate of sorts. The person that stopped behind me let me use a cell to call my Wife and let her know what had happened. I ended up going through a trauma unit and staying at the hospital but she hunted me down knowing that i was going to be hauled to one of about 5 hospitals in the area.

Hey, Very good point... I'm always alone and never know where I'm goin'.
Most of the time the wife is at work and doesn't even know I'm ridin'....
I always have a cel, but as mentioned above it cud get F'ed up especially in my jeans front pocket (it's a thin iphone).
So, right now, I guess I put my wife's contact number on my D.L.
Thanks & Ride Safe!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but being prior service, I have a set of dog tags with my ICE info. Especially if the cell doesnt make it... Either way, I tell someone where I am heading.

Most of my riding is by myself, i dont tell anyone when or where im going, i dont worry about the what ifs, if i did it wouldnt be any fun anyways. I do keep a medical card in my wallet not because i ride a bike but because i have a bad heart and it would be in there even if i didnt ride. If i didnt show up for work and hadnt called in sick someone would show up knocking at my door. I only have one person i keep in contact with on a regular bases and thats my riding partner, she's not my girl friend or my ex-wife just a good friend, it would be rare if we went more than a couple days without atleast a text message so i know if no one had heard from me for a couple days she would call someone, i think most of us are that way with someone in our life. Do whatever makes you feel secure, you can always trailer your bike and unload it at a cool place and lean up against it and passer bys will say, wow he's cool and you'll be safe, what ever you want, i dont really care what anyone else does, i ride like i want when i want where i want and it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about it, i do it for me and no one else. Do whatever you think you need to do.
