I wonder why he left the heel plate on, but removed the peg...


Also... you think he can drag stump? He'd have a man card for life if there were a worn puck velcroed to that bad boy.

and a video:


a little about him:
The chaps name is Alan Kempster. Alan was out for a riding one day when a truck driven by a drunk driver hit him on his motorcycle. Alan lost his right arm and leg in the accident. Most people would have give up extreme sports or sports all together. Alan instead of feeling sorry for himself decided to take up water skiing.

Alan then decided he wants to return to motorcycles and ride again. Alan rigged up a Left Hand throttle, brake, and clutch configuration. He racing now in Formula 400 with race number is 1/2 fitting to his situation


and repost of video..
One arm, one leg rider

AND, he has a Handicap sticker on the front of his bike!

Right, next time you think you've had a bad day, been screwed over or cheated.

Try getting your right arm and leg cut off. Then race competativly. On a motorcycle.

Wow. That's awesome, mad props to him for getting back on the bike and figuring out how to make it work.

Wonder how he set-up his brake/clutch lever.

I watched that video a while back. If you've got a man card, that guy's picture is stamped on the front. Freaking awesome!

I'll bet getting back in the saddle and retraining your brain to race like that wasn't pretty. I'll bet he had more than his fair share of get offs.

Props to the rider!
