Is this our one armed bandit? Or is it... another. Said it was in Australia.

Nah, not me. Must say looks like I've got it easier than him, notice he would've had to switch the throttle over. Mind you, thinking about the determination I had in getting back on a bike no matter what, no doubt he is the same but just had to approach it from a different angle.
