My wife and I stopped for the night on a road trip. In rides a young fellow on a sport bike. He had a prosthetic on his left arm. He parked the bike and walked into the bar to meet his friends. Took off his jacket and unstrapped the prosthetic and hung the items on his chair.
We left long before he did.

Hi, Gypsy ! Nice to see your post over here !
Your story reminded me of a guy from Glencoe, Mn, who became a paraplegic. He had a trike built that looked like a Roman chariot. He wheeled his chair into the chariot, locked it down, and with hand controls continued riding.
Where there's a will, there's a way !

Thanks for the replys. (And I saw TWO guys with the chariot sidehacks 25 years ago in Daytona. Both were in wheelchairs.)
