I.C.E. identity tags recommendation...

[Ducati750s]

Hi all,

After reading the recent posts regarding identity tags (dog-tags) containing emergency information for solo road riding, track days etc, I decided to order some.

I can thoroughly recommend this following link https://www.militarykit.com/products/military_accessories/dog_tags.htm

or www.militarykit.com if the link don't work.

For £6.99, they will stamp them with 15 characters per line, 5 lines per tag, and post them recorded delivery. Mine took 2 days to arrive and are spot on, not 1 mistake, and all letters have been pressed clearly into the tag. Well chuffed.

So there we go

what did you put on them? your details or just ice details.

I got a great deal on mine. Sign up for 9 years service, get a free set of dog tags!

Ive got a free set as well, although my first chance at taking them to a war zone, i left them in my Green field jacket instead of my Desert one!

Spent four nervous months in iraq with no tags!

For trackdays - you put emergency contact details down on indemity forms and it's unlikely you'll be involved in massive multiple bike pile ups.

For racing we have to have them with name and date of birth, I got mine from someone off ebay - £2.99 if I remember.

It may be worth putting your blood group on there as well (if you know), it could have saved a friend of mine a few years ago.

I carry a little card in my wallet which comes with me everywhere, that states:

Name
Date of Birth
Next of Kin
Blood Type
Allergies
GP Name

I'm not really implying the're a particularly good or bad idea idea, more just letting folks know of a good place to get them, if they want them

Id only say as well, and its a very minor point and a bit trivial.

Dont have any military markings on them if you are not in the military. I know of people that have "Delta Force" or "SAS" written on them, when they really are just Cadets or things like that. I could be wrong here, but i believe that dog tags could come under the uniforms act, making it an offence to use dog tags to make it seem as if you are a military person.

If your wearing them as Medical alert tags though it will be completely and you'll have no hassle.

Oh and the 15 character limit i believe is because the tags are small and round! I dont think you could fit more then 15 per line!

I expect most of you know this one but just in case, most of us carry a mobile phone so in your contacts put ICE and the phone number of loved one, next of kin etc. Spotted that in MCN last week. I used to wear a Talisman bracelet because I am disabled and on loads of medication but I dont wear it anymore - spose I should really.

I don't *need* them, but a little part of me deep down inside wants black ones with yellow padding.

15 characters per line fits on the tag with about 1mm either side. Most of my lines were 15 characters, I liked to get my £6.99's worth

Even after a few days I'm still chuffed to bits with them. Funny how some things affect you, bit like a new Zippo or penknife.
