This is Jim. In his 70's and paralyzed from the chest down many years ago, he now gets around in a wheelchair. That hasn't stopped him from riding, putting 40,000 miles on this motorcycle / side car combination. Most of the them while living in Texas, but he still rides around Union Center, WI. In fact, he just had a new chain and spocket put on this Hondamatic 750 (2 speed automatic).<br /><br />All the controls and steering column have been transferred to the side car. The back end has a short ramp that is folded down so that he can wheel himself in and pull up the ramp.Jim Harmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16493661324072969819noreply@blogger.com
