    Did motorcycling cost him an arm and a leg?

    Well it doesn't effing matter, because even if it did it's not holding him back. Makes me feel decidedly average now. Riding with one arm? So 2010. 2011 it's all about only one arm and leg.

    that is amazing. He can lean a bike over further than what i can and he only has 1 arm and leg. wonder how his throttle and brake set up is.

    he probably just crazy enough to wind the idle screw up to redline and not worry about the brakes. that is nuts!

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    Cornering to the side of the good leg must be interesting, he can't exactly grip the tank with his knees! Respect.

    that guy is amazing... and so good to know a passion for riding can overcome such adversity...

    Thanks for the post.

    He has an unfair advantage... Think of the weight saving!

    Gotta hand it to him though.

    After the way you lot carried on about the earthquake jokes which were just generalised and some were posted by those effected, you make comments like this, oh sorry I didn't see it was a human being but he lives overseas so that doesn't matter - nice one
    Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.

    Provide me and the forum with evidence where I personally (guess im lumped in with ''you lot'' seen you quoted me) have made a joke pertaining to the Christchurch Earthquake and I will personally give $500 to the charity of your choice.

    He's not dead though. I've only got one arm, and even without knowing about this guy I considered myself fucking lucky. The accident only took my arm, not my life. So I'm the first to make light of my situation, fuck if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at. And I bet he's the same as well, considering he's out making a go of it, I'd say he's got the right mental approach to his situation. And believe me, when people take the piss about my arm I don't give a damn, I'll carry on the joke or just remind them a one armed guy just kicked their arse.

    When the jokes about the 'quake were being posted there where members here who had family trapped in buildings, and they are still waiting for the bodies to come home.
