Not sure if its been posted before but I met a guy at the period races on the weekend who only has one leg and an one arm and still races motorbikes. He actually had just fallen off. I will post a pic of his crashed bike hen I get around too it.

Until then there is a short 5 min documentary on him on on you tube done by Japanese TV. Serach for left side story. Amazing stuff of legends.

Good for him but I have mixed feelings about such things. If he's keeping it on the track with other riders agreeing to race with him then so be it. But there's no question he's at a serious disadvantage making safety a serious issue.

I was in a biker bar in Manchester a couple of years back, a kid came out with no right arm or leg, he hopped on an Aprillia 250, started it with his arm and wheelied off down the road! Unreal! - The strangest part though was to look at the right side of the bike and just a torso on the seat :crazy:
