    Default Live Life

    From one amputee to another & birth defects, never quit & learn to adapt to what you want out of life ! If theres away theres a will. If you fall just get back up and try another way. Just deal with what life deals you with a positive attatude. I have had over 90 surgeries sence birth and stayed 5 yrs. In a childrens hospital in Chicago, Ill. Started rideing at age 7 stoped at age 13 never rode again. It all ways stays in your blood if you really love motorcycle's ! I kept my MC operators licences just until a year ago, Now I'm in my 40's. Some how some way soon I will ride again God willing. I have out weighed the risk and I'm going for it. You - I - We only live once. God bless all, and happy spydering down the road.

    Remember ! Quality over Quanity.

    I see one artificial leg and two forearm cruches strapped to the back.

    The SE5 has allowed me to feel the wind and the sun in the face once again...

    I usually keep my artificial leg tightly folded inside the frunk, and carry my forearm crutches in those home-made adapters...

    I am an AKA. My prosthesis is a vacuum / suction type with no liner or pin.

    I rarely use it while riding the Spyder because it causes discomfort at the buttock and groin after some time. Only use it for very short rides or city runs.

    Check some pics of the crutches' arrangement; all made out with hardware store domestic components and a bit of ingenuity...

    When I ride using the prosthesis, I remove the "adaptors" from the pegs, and just lodge my artificial foot's heel on the peg. Sometimes it stays there, sometimes not...

    Cheers
