Summary
John D. Trent, a Defense Commissary Agency contractor and motorcycle enthusiast living in Japan, stands next to his 2013 Harley Davidson SL1200V Model 72. Trent, a seasoned rider with more than 35 years’ experience riding in Japan, witnessed the near death of his friend, Makoto Tanabe, when Tanabe’s bike collided along the sidewall of a small bridge. The accident, which occurred July 3, 2016, in Shizuoka Prefecture, nearly severed Tanabe’s left foot. Trent saved his friend’s life by using a bungee cord as a tourniquet, thereby stopping the bleeding and giving first responders precious time to evacuate his friend to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.
