One Arm Rider
First topic message reminder :
Yesterday, while fuelling the car up in Bairnsdale. We saw a guy on a old Moto Guzzi filling up at the same servo. The thing was this guy had only half a right arm, which got the discussion going how do you ride a bike with only one arm? Now I know we all ride with only one hand on the handle bars at times, but we pick our moments. I can't see this guy effectively handling the bike through some tight twisties.
We watched him leave, I'm guessing the bike is automatic? It still has a front brake lever on the right but the throttle is now on the left. So I'm guessing again that the brakes have been combined to the rear brake.
Anyway I think its great that he doesn't see his disability as a disability and is out enjoying himself.
