Re: nift to say the least
Dont give up yet Maz..................you give the impression you aint a quitter ....so get out there and work around the issue.....ok they've sort of told you what you cant do....but start looking at what you can do.
Look at Talan...now theres someone who was told he 'couldn't' etc...but he went out and proved he 'could'.
We're here and will support you on rides etc if you need a bit of help......stuff the officials hun...you got biking in your blood now and they cant remove that !!!!
Keep that chin up !!!

Yamaha Virago 250
Yamaha Dragstar 250
Honda Rebel 250

Suzuki are also launching a new 250 cruiser this year.
Don't give up Maz. Have seen a guy with polio riding. He loved his cruiser. Keep faith and ride on!

Re: nift to say the least
I'm so sorry to hear this Maz, it was great to see your confidence grow when you came out on a girls ride last year.
Don't give up, at least have a try on a cruiser, you never know until you try. Good luck! :)
Re: nift to say the least
As above Maz, don't give up yet :) I'm sure you can find a bike that you can ride, or get one adjusted if none of them
are quite right. Quite a few suggestions already!
Re: nift to say the least
Sorry to hear that Maz hope you can find an alternative :)
Re: nift to say the least
I was flying down through Craner Curves at Donington on the practice day before I raced there, and passed a guy going pretty damn quick on an R6, with only one arm. He'd had the bike converted so he could use the throttle, front brake, and clutch all on the right handlebar. Turns out he was pretty good too.
There was a guy in Bristol who refused to give up riding after losing the use of his legs. So he designed and fitted retractable out-riggers to his Fireblade, so that each time he stopped, he didn't have to put his feet down.
If it's in your blood, it's damn difficult to give up... ;)
Re: nift to say the least
There will be a way you can still ride somehow. Look at what The Bike Experience is doing for paraplegic bikers!!
