One Arm Rider - Suzuki SV650 Forum: SV650, SV1000, Gladius Forums

I was in San Antonio and I saw a guy on the side of the road with his helmet off. I always stop if I see a rider on the side of the road. He was heading in the other way so I had to get off the free way and turn around. By the time I got close to him he was putting his helmet back on and as I got ready to pull over he pulled out in front of me. Then is when I noticed that he had only a Right arm...

I passed him to make sure and yep One Arm Rider.

Yep. Had a guy running Int at a recent trackday with only one arm (and no prosthetic like i've seen others with). Guy was hauling the mail too.

A local flat-track racer, Jason Griffin, is missing his right arm. He was the AMA Sportsman of the year in 2006.

That's weirs you mention that because the other day a harley came by and I notice something different but couldn't put my finger on it so I sped up and notice he had a suicide shifter that he used his prostetic arm to shift and clutch was left foot.

i think mert what's his name from on any sunday has one arm now too.

my friend bought his old trackbike off a guy who could not walk. he velcro'd his feet to some flat pieces of plastic where the pegs would go.

it's amazing, no one would blame any of those folks from crawling into a bottle and feeling sorry for themselves. but how awesome is it that living life is more important to people like that than drinking away their sorrows.
