My first ride since breaking my back in a motorcycle accident many years ago. It felt nice to get back on a bike. I am still ironing out some bugs, like finding neutral. Thanks to Dave at Speed Dealer Motors in Seattle.

  • There is another serious point to this area of research. Apart from assisting those with some disability, is there eventually the possibility of being able to use a bike on ice and snow?

  • @tolcarneroad I doubt it, or I should say not as it is setup now. It takes too long for the outriggers to move from the full up to the full down position. I guess you could leave them partially down.

  • are they down, are they down, ARE THEY DOWN!!!?? lol

    That is one nice gsx-r1k . Is that a Carbon fibre yosh exhaust? OH BELISSIMO!

    Even if your injured, you still ride better than me!

  • Yeah, I couldn't tell if they had come down because I was going fast enough that they didn't touch the ground. I'll have to get used to it, but that "are they down?" is quite funny!

  • This brings a tear to my eye... One day maybe I will get back on one.

  • That is pure genius!

  • yea if that happens 2 me ill do the same thing good thing ur ok

  • wow im glad ur ok riding motorcycle again.. ride safe bro

  • Very cool! Looks similar to my setup.

    Awesome that you are back on a bike again!

  • That is the best Invention I have ever seen! my best friend lost partial use of his legs after a old lady rear ended his bike at a stoplight. He can still walk with help from a cane. But can't support the weight of a bike. The only thing he loves was to ride his bike. Now with your idea!

    Maybe he can again.

    God Bless!
