Joysticks to replace handlebars?

[onearmedbandit]

Out of interest, why do you bother cutting the otherside off? Because you can?

Weight loss haha. No just because I can, it's not needed.

Probably doesn't leave it locked as very few would be able to ride it with that gone....

It is a bit of a deterrent.

Crossed my mind but the other handlebar would be a bit of a mindfuck anyway, and most people just chuck bikes in the back of a van when steeling them.

True (about the van scenario) but I rarely leave my bikes out of my sight unless secured(?) in my garage.

Cheers for the answer. Just got me pondering. Would have been a good spot to bolt your lunchbox to

I wondered if the lack of a bar end and bar, plus the weight of the additional lever would make head shakes more likely?

Something I wondered too but on all my bikes I've never had any headshake.

On the K2 thou I had, I lost a bar end at Pukekohe. No big deal, but everytime the front wheel hit the ground after the kink, the thing shock like it was trying to party with Metallica. New bar end weight, perfect manners again.

Thanks for being candid. i had always wondered.

I forsee lots of mitorbikes needing fixing as people keep crashing while getting used to them (ie pushing their limits )
Couldn't be any worse than ape hangers though, could they???

Pic 1, looks like you forgot to remove the nerve endings from the left side when you amputated!

If you're who I'm thinking of, You used to bring it to AGSS at the airport for warrant's. Bruce had a hard time with the controls don't know if he ever tried to ride it though. Probably no need.

Yup that was me, I think he managed to ride it a few times.

I lost the use of my left arm in '97, it wasn't until 3yrs later that I returned to riding. I guess those three years were enough for me to have adapted to using one arm that it was essentially second nature. The clutch action was simple too. The biggest issue I would've though I'd encounter was hard braking. Apparently that was a non-issue too haha.

Cheers.

Phucking awesome, A great reminder to never complain about my insignificant injuries, to harden up and simply get on with life.

Cheers onearmedbandit for showing us a real man on KBer, there are a few of you on here who are truly inspirational .

Hey cheers for that, to be honest I'm one of the lucky ones. The hardest part is the severe chronic pain, that's a daily challenge but even with that I still consider myself to be damn lucky.
