    Re: in a wheelchair...who said you couldn't ride..

    I have to admit that I have spent a rather unhealthy amount of time thinking of ways to rig a bike for riding in the event or a loss of any given limb or waist down paralasys having been designated the Vampire most likely to go down in flames. That bike looks alot more manageable the my idea of welding a platform and ramp between the frames of my two identicle F4I's and rigging a centrel control area.

      Well now you can think of other things a bit more healthy.

      Though I'm sure the last thing anyone wants is you or anyone else to go down in flames and need to require a bike like that.

              I think we should take the Carver drivetrain and mount an actual coffin in it for a cocpit. A jet black number with red silk padding and polished brass trim ought to do it with a rear back flip opening to sit up in with a little windshield mounted on it to keep it (looking) legal.
