Hola!! (need help)

#1 Unread post by Zoe Spain »

Hi, my name is Zoe and i´m from spain, sorry if my english is not very correct.

I have no motorcycle yet, but I´m getting my driving licence to have my fist motorcycle.

My cuestion is maybe a little bit weird,

Here in Spain, (I don´t know how is it out of my country) we have bordering all the roads planks of metal that (theoretically protect drivers to not get out the street) this device is so dangerous for motorcycles drivers because they are like blade cutting everything that get into its way. In spanish is called "guardarrailes".

Now, my cuestion,

My boyfriend had an accident 7 months ago, and one of this "guardarrail" cut his right arm, over his elbow.

He just live for drive motorcycles, and now he is trying to adapted his motorcycle to drive it again.

I´m looking for someone that make this before, or someone that can help us to think how to do it.

Thank you very much for your attention, and sorry for my english... i have to practice it more... :)

Actually, the user Shorts on this board has limited use of one arm (her left, I believe?) and has spent some time and energy adapting her motorcycle for essentially one-handed use.

Send her a PM, I'm sure she'll be able to give you lots of good info.
