| Re: Handicapped racer A good friend of mine lost the use of his right arm in a street bike crash and now races YSRs. He's got the throttle, front brake, and clutch all on the left bar. It took quite a bit of practice for me to almost get up to speed on his bike, but he's quick and smooth. |

   | Re: Handicapped racer There are a few guys here in Tucson that are handicapped. One guy has a prosthetic left leg and uses an electronic shifter on his R1, another guy has a prosthetic right leg and just never uses his rear brake on his 998. The third guy amazes the crap out of me. He has no hand and half of his forearm is not there on his right arm. They moved the throttle and front brake to the left side, and the clutch lever is on the right(spun 90 degrees up). It's absolutely amazing to see him ride his R6, you'd never think that someone missing that much of his arm could ride, and he is pretty good to boot. Dano |
