Hey check out my videos of my handicap-accessible motorcycle. I also have a V Star cruiser that is going to be modified with a similar kit so I ride it again.

Would anybody else on here be interested in buying something like this, or know someone that might be? Im thinking of starting a business modifying sport bikes and cruisers for paraplegics and trying to gauge an interest/market.

Please forward the link to all your friends!!

First Ride on my Handicap-Accessible motorcycle!

Nah I usually wear a leg bag.

Tomsov- Is riding again something that you would want to do or get involved with?

hey iceman, I've been looking into similar setups but I am about a year and a half away from being financialy able to get another bike(have to finish out collage first). If you like send me a private message and I can get you my personal info. I think the idea is great, but im not sure that there is a big enough market to make manufacturing the equipment profitable. Plus with the varience in bike designs each kit would have to be tweeked to fit the bike and rider. I've been looking at Ducatis and I'm not so sure that a kit on a 1198 will work due to the tube frame and layout of the suspension and exhaust. I am totally interested though so hit me up when you get the chance.
