@fireguy777 Theres an item called a "transfer Board" that all ppl with spinal cord injurys like myself that get those from the hospital before were even released from the hospital. Very simple solution an you can have a leather pouch made for it that stays closed shut on it using velcrow. Works great!! ;)

@CareysNightmare

LIKE ...yes , but not the same purpose...its ment for people that can't use their legs, can't stop and stand on their legs to keep balance.

I would love to know the details on this, I'm an amputee and just bought a cbr 929 rr and I want to do this with it. Would love it if someone could point me in the right direction or something. I hope someone is out there

[CareysNightmare]

So they're like training wheels?

[fireguy777]

epic! I am curious though, how would a paraplegic get onto said bike? I'm not bein' funny, seriously curious... I ride, and as a rider know that half the fun is stoppin' off @ random scenery or pubs n such...

+1 for a brilliant idea, that'll get more people out sharin' the wind...
