Goddamn. That bionic arm looks cool. It's like it's from Tron.

I think this is cool.

I also think Lefty's MC down under has the market cornered on arm problems #koko64.

There's a guy racing in I think the UK with one arm and one leg with no prosthetics.

My dad rides a monster with a normal prosthetic on his right leg (since the rear brake is crap anyway, he just doesn't use it).

My dad also drives the Lemons cars... where there's a will, there's a way, and it probably doesn't include cubic dollars to make force feedback a thing again. It just requires me laying on my head and rejiggering the throttle.

I'm not saying that these folks aren't doing a good thing, I just think they are discounting a human ability to adapt to adverse conditions.

When I suggested to Dave that he was Pres of "Lefties m/c", he looked at me and said, " those make the beast with two backsin' Righties",  [laugh] [clap].


Kempster (Aussie) raced at home and internationally, race number here was 1/2  [thumbsup]. He sadly passed away not long ago.

Your dad sounds cool Q.
