One-leg wheelie stunt

<de-lurk>

From: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004540417,00.html

"STUNNED cops pulled over a motorcyclist who sped past them doing
a wheelie at 70mph and found he only had ONE LEG."

"Garage boss Trevor Robins, 41, escaped a ban and was
conditionally discharged for dangerous driving after Gloucester
Crown Court heard he had performed the stunt accidentally while
still getting used to his specially-adapted motorbike."


Respect on all counts.

Respect indeed - for having the balls to feed them that line of
bullshit!

It doesn't say how much of a leg he had, I suspect it would be rather
tricky to ride if the limb had been removed at the pelvis, not to
mention sore on the nads.

Now, a one-armed wheelie would be something.

Naah. There's a lad who worked in the loco sheds at Crewe who lost
his right arm in a work accident. Some 18 months later, he was back
on the road on a fully-modded SV650, with throttle on the left along
with a thumb brake - he lofted one every evening as he left work, past
the Security Shed. Rode like a one-armed **** everywhere.

 

I can't begin to imagine how long it would take to make sure that all
the relevant fingers and thumbs were doing the correct things in the
correct order to pull that off.
