Around the turn of the century, Alfred Leroy was run over by a train, losing both of his legs and half of one arm. Amazingly, he survived the accident and went on to become an avid motorcyclist. In the late teens, he rode a 1916 J-series Harley-Davidson with sidecar on a 50,000+ tour of the US. Both the motorcycle and the sidecar had a number of ingenious modifications that allowed him to make this trip solo.

Now that's a real biker

 

Makes all the iron butt riders look hopelessly weak by comparison.

 

I agree with richvz, Alfred Leroy is a real biker!

 

50k trip on that bike in his late "teens".. and he starts it with his arm.

And a lot of people think our new bikes are over the hill at 30-40K.!!
