| Well I thought I had seen everything. I visited my brother this past weekend and he began telling me about a young man in his town that had had an accident a few years back and broke his neck and paralyzed him from the chest down. In spite of his injury he is able to ride a motorcycle. I had to see it to believe it. We called the grandfather of the young man and asked permission to come look at the set up his grandson rode everywhere. He has traveled extensively out of state several times and just about goes anywhere he wants to go.
These are some pictures I took of his special custom made ride.

Gives me hope that I will be able to ride for a lot longer than I thought.

| Hey Gary, I'm not seeing the pictures. I can see the rest of yours, though.

| I can see it now.
Very ingenious set up! I don't know how safe I'd really feel, but I suppose if you want to keep riding, then there's a way to do it. Although I guess at that point (paralyzed from the neck down) what do you have to really fear? Riding is freedom... |
