    I'm looking forward to meeting him at Eastern Creek on the 15th March at the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed. My Husband Russell is Racing in the same class as him. He truly is Inspirational.

    What he lacks in limbs he makes up for in balls.

    Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

    A great inspiration for the will to still live a full life at a time when most people would be feeling sorry for themselves.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    It's sad that this thread gets so few replies, whereas retarded threads on politics, or nudging wing mirrors get blimmin' hundreds. Good ol' KB, not really about bikes now?

    For some of us it still is.

    And to be honest it is like the 3rd or 4th time it's been posted.

    Just coz it gets posted and then reposted it dosent take away from the sheer awesomness of his and your abilities.

    Hell I can hardly sit on a bike compared to you two.

    Not shy, no. What he has overcome physically is far greater than what I have, but I have an idea of what it's like for him. People say we're inspirational etc, but for us it's just about moving on with life. We don't do it to inspire, we do what we do to live still.

    However in saying that, if people are inspired by what we do then that's great. Life can change dramatically in an instant, so enjoy what you have while you have it.

    Thanks for your compliments too.

    That is why you and those like you are inspirational. You have been through stuff that sitting here, safe and sound behind my (work's) keyboard I could imagine in those circumstances thinking I would have to change what I do. However people like you show it is possible to overcome and without the help and bullshit of some celeb support and promo org.

    I wonder if they think he is unbalanced riding a motorbike.

    He looks a little nuts.

    To be fair losing limbs probably isnt the best for ones sanity.

    How he doesnt constantly fall off is beyond me.
    Mad props.
