Since I have a above the knee right leg prosthetic locked straight when I ride; I ALWAYS put left down, right front down, front brake with pinky & ring finger hold front brake; while I scan my mirrors.

No linked brakes on my 07 FLHRC. So I'm 100% front brake. My prosthetic is locked straight and goes straight to hwy pegs in motion.

And I also state the truth, whether a man likes it or not.

If you have such "limited use" of your legs that you cannot follow basic standard safety protocols, maybe it is time to seek another way to enjoy your sport.

Be it an aftermarket bolt-on trike kit, or a full on trike, or a convertible Corvette.

I got **** to prove to nobody. When, not if, when, I get to the point of "limited use" you can bet your sweet *** I'll be in the market for a 2013 down and a sidecar.

These are heavy machines, and our days don't always go as planned. With "limited use", you are endangering not only yourself, but your passenger, and John Q. around you.

Ride on. Ride safe.
Yes, I agree with the ******* part. You state your truth which has no basis in reality. I am also a vet expert motocrosser and cross country racer and can probably do things on a motorcycle that would make you **** your pants. I'll keep riding on two wheels, thank you. And I'll keep riding with the group of retired motor cops that I often ride with, who don't seem to have any problem with the way I ride. You can keep going to the Harley dealer to watch to "Dodo Birds" land for entertainment as you call it.

But what I really recommend is that you see someone and get the help that you so desperately need. You're pathetic.

DAAAMMNNN!!! But I agree. Like telling someone how to take a crap in my opinion. To each his own.

And yet, you can't follow standard advanced riding techniques, and insist on personal attacks.

Keep the shiny side up.

Anybody who rides two up with me knows the score. No problems yet with over 100K street miles since losing my leg. I sure don't think I put a passenger at near the risk with a prosthetic as I did when I was younger and partied! I had two good legs, but sure as hell didn't have good sense!

As for John Q Public. You must be kidding! These dam cages with there texting, an whatever else drivers running over and killing riders like there is a dam season on us! I suspect if I do have a major crash some day; John Q will be there too. Just seen what a a SUV does to a "Goldwing" when it runs over a wing while changing lanes to make an exit. Guess who lost?

An on that point. How come you rarely see a driver of a cage charged criminally when they kill or seriously injury a rider?

Yeah,,I'll be up nights worrying about the bad spot I put John Q in when I ride handicapped.
