disability electric scooter insurance

May 31st, 2008 by The Rider

Is it legal to buy a medical device, that is not yet FDA approve, in England, and have it shipped to the U.S.?

http://www.youtube.com/nudrive08

There’s a device called NuDrive that I would like to get for my wheelchair. It cost only $600, not including shipping, but I have a nephew in the military whose assigned there who can buy it for me. Comparable devices made in the U.S., have a starting cost of $4000.

It was approved for sale in England last year. It takes up to three years to FDA approvals. I would like to get out more, but I don’t want to use an electric chair or scooter, as you get no exercise using them. I think they have been very harmful to the health of the elderly and many with disabilities.

Of interest, Medicare and private insurance will cover the cost of a $6000 electric wheelchair or scooter, but will not cover the cost of even the America made devices that are similar.

Don’t quote me on the law but I think that should be legal.

It is legal to import medications that are not FDA approved or have any US license. I import a medication that is not available on the US or Canadian market but it is over the counter in New Zealand. And that is legal.

Worst that could happen is that it would be impounded. But I can’t imagine that happening.

motorcycle insurance western qbe

May 29th, 2008 by The Rider

The Buncombe County chapters of CBA and ABATE has teamed up to host the 13th Annual Hot Springs Motorcycle Weekend June 26,27,28.  Both the CBA and ABATE are motorcycle rights groups and they often present motorcycle get away weekends to finance their objectives.

This years event features Rally Style Camping, a fancy way of saying tent camping.  Because of the large crowds in attendance for the past couple years there are no longer any reserved camping sites.  Everything is on a first come first serve basis.  Also check out time is Sunday 12 noon and you are expected to have your campsite broke down by then.

You can get an all weekend rally pass for $25.  Because of limited space there will be an additional charge of $20 per support vehicle, however.  In this particular case a support vehicle is any vehicle other than a motorcycle.  Sorry about the inconvenience but parking space for 4-wheelers is limited since attendance has been on the rise.

There will be live music both Friday and Saturday nights.  There is also bike and people games scheduled throughout the day both Friday and Saturday.  There will be vendors from surrounding states pedaling their motorcycle related goods.  One such vendor, Ghost Riders Leather from Johnson City, Tn sets up a display of motorcycle leather apparel every year at the Hot Springs Rally.  Another regular is Tumble Weed based in Loudon, Tn.  The first americans sew on patches and repair leather plus make beautiful deerskin halters.

To finish off the fun packed weekend the Christian Bikers Association will provide church services Sunday morning.  After church there will be a Biker Ambassador Award presented to some lucky hard worker.

Everyone over the age of 21, and has a valid photo ID is invited.  It does not matter what brand of bike you ride, or even if you ride.  As long as you love camping and motorcycles this is the place for you.  Pets are not welcome at this event.  Leave yours at home.

Because of the large crowds expected, and safty issues, there will be no car or truck cruising allowed.  This ban also includes golf carts, ATV’s, or dirt bikes.  Like pets leave yours at home. 

Come on out and join us for the 13th Annual Hot Springs Motorcycle Weekend.  This has been a crowd pleaser for the people of western North Carolina for years and years.  We would like to see you there also.  For more information on this happening event call James at 828-645-2113.
