    Some are off the shelf solutions too. The Can-Am Spyder is also viable.

    You can ride a piaggio mp3 without putting feet down too. hard to do all the time though. Carver rates them.
    God, I'd love to have a go one a Piaggio MP3. Ever since that photo of the stoppie, and Ive seen a photo of a guy with his knee down on one.

    Saw an article in Two Wheels years ago about a CB750 converted for a paraplegic - used an electric solenoid to move the shift lever. The indicator switch selected upshift or downshift, and a switch on the clutch lever operated the solenoid. A sidecar was used to maintain uprightness.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I think I could ride my Convert with either leg missing and/or either arm

    It's auto, one gear does it all (slowly on take off), twist and go, linked brakes, low COG and easy to swap anything from side to side

    My secret wish is to sell it to a gammy and do all the adapting custom just for them and get them back on the road.
