One Armed Motorcyclist

[Steve ( West Mids )]

Just wandering is it legal and is it sensible for a guy with one arm to ride a motorbike. Assuming he can access gears, clutch ( unless it's an auto ), brakes, lights, horn etc. would it be legal for him to ride it? Also wandering whether on cornering etc. and you lean a bit it would rely on you moving your body weight against your grip ( hands on handlebars ) so would it be safe. sensible?

i would guess a big no

he surely would have to have his right arm for throttle

He was defo. riding it !! So throttle must be on left. But was trying to think clutch & front brake ....... also ...... not sure how two on one lever .... then gears with one foot and brake rear with the other ....... just wondering ( not wandering - doh !! ) :)

Used to drink in a pub occasionally that had a one armed pool player, he was s**t hot. Won a fortune off the young lads in bets.

Have a friend who's a one legged motorcyclist. He has a prosthetic one which he takes off to scare children. "Look my leg comes off..." (kids with open mouths) he he.
