Or maybe look into starting or working on an organization that teaches motorcyclists some basic 1st aide training.
While its not specifically motorcycle related, if you have a local Red Cross they do that type of training...I've got my Adult and Child CPR Certs and My First Aid Cert training, got it in one day at the local office. Firefighters often do alot of training, perhaps see if they would incorporate motorcycle specific type training. I know for a fact many first responders have no clue what not to do with a downed biker, first thing they try to do is rip off that helmet. Just a thought.
