That's pretty awesome Gypsy! Nice to finally see a picture of you and your future ride. I wish you all the best and let us know how that control system works out for you. You might even have to take a ride up to Ponchatoula to visit us! Take care! Fred

Nice story and good to hear you'll be riding again soon . There's a guy in town here who lost his right arm in an accident some years back and has his bike fitted out with controls that let him ride with just his left arm . He can REALLY ride that thing too !
