I just came across this fantastic NFP organization that allows riders who've been handicapped from an accident get back on a bike for a day of track riding.

Simply amazing. Def brings a tear to my eye...just imagining the feeling of getting back on a bike after years and lost hope.

Here's a clip going through the process and some on board cam shots.

In the same vein as this, from my Ninja 650R forum, pretty amazing stuff - shocking how well the system works.

There is a guy here on a trike with ape hanger bars and he only has one arm.the left one...have seen him out several times up on the Table Lands.

Guess he much have foot controls and still clutches with his left hand

GTAM's very own "recidivist" is also in a wheelchair. However, this doesn't stop him from racing endurance races aboard his 160 hp GSXR1000
