I know some handi-capped riders.
I think Todd Macke has cerable palsy. He does very well. He had team-mates for the 12 hour race. One guy races with one arm, another with one leg. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Racers, I'm not real sure. I did see a special on the speed channel about David Bailey getting back on a dirt bike. The machine was fitted with nerf bars and a saddle with seat belts. The bike was also fitted with a rekluse clutch system. You might be able to search something on that info, just saw your post and wanted to throw up a quick reply. Bill

I have seen David Bailey on TV riding a dirtbike as well, that is so cool! David Bailey is the man anyways, but it is so inspirational to see him get back on the "saddle" again![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
