A great custom story: Convert

Touching eBay listing. Great creativity and motivation to keep riding even when things in life got tough. I didn't know this person, but I feel the need to show this concept off for him now. May not have been legal nor safe, but who cares. He got to enjoy it for a little and that's all that matters.

There was/is a riser in Austin who was wheelchair bound that did the same thing with an old BMW K bike. He rolled the chair into the hack and everything was hand controls from there. He built a linkage that moves the bars over, and I believe he used some sort of air system to shift.

 If I had need of another motorcycle I would snap that up.  Alas I have three sidecar rigs and probably will not live long enough to get it shaped back up.
 But where is it located?

Yep, I've seen that rig at the Alamo Cafe south of Fredricksburg.

I've seen a number of wheelchair ridin' Guzzista at MGNOC National rallies over the years with sidecar rigs set up so they can ride them from the chair(hack) with all the controls transferred to them in the chair.    How they do it is beyond my comprehension.  But where there's a will there's a way.  I understand how they get on/off the chair, but that is all.
