Congrats! Hope it works out for you.

Will you be able to ride, provided a bike comes into your life?

Good luck!

The latest stuff is like something out of the "bionic woman". Knew a girl who had one 20+ years ago, didn't slow her up a bit. She had some forearm so it pivoted at the elbow and she could grip pretty strongly using a muscle in her back. I'm sure things have come a long way. Hope it works real good for you. Good Luck!

I'm thinking Dyna Low Rider. My Sporty rocked but the husbeast thinks I should go bigger. Men!

However, I could kiss my prosthetist, the beautiful bastard managed to get Medicaid to ok a Mert Lawwill riding prosthetic!http://www.mertlawwill.com/prostheti...ostheticFS.htmBetween that, a foot clutch & a Pingel shifterhttp://www.discount-motorcycle-parts...ts-p-1976.htmlI should manage just fine.

Should be interesting getting used to a bigger ride, riding with one arm & a foot clutch all at the same time!


OK. Why are my links not working? Help!

YAY! Links are working now.
