Wheelchair-motorcycle rollout


Casper

Recommended Posts

Paul Teutul Sr., star of the TLC series American Chopper, and his crew have built a custom wheelchair-accessible motorcycle to raise money for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The first of its kind, the "trike bike" allows someone with paraplegia to ride a motorcycle without having to transfer from a wheelchair. The "Life Rolls On" bike will make its debut on American Chopper at 9 p.m. Thursday.

I might have to watch that episode. Sounds cool.

A few years ago i was at the local Autozone and in the parking lot i saw a guy that looked like he was sitting in a side-car of a motorcycle. From my view he was on the other side of the bike. It looked alittle funny but then a small ramp flops down and this guy backs out in a wheelchair. He went in than i drove by to check out what i just saw. He had the handlebars and controls mounted in the side-car! Now thats some dedication!
