There's a guy around town who has a flat platform sidecar mounted to his Honda CB750 and he sits in his wheelchair attached somehow to the platform. He has a set of handlebars that are linked to the bike's steering stem. Other than that it looks like a regular bike. It's strange when you see a motorcycle going down the road with no rider, just some dude sitting in a wheelchair following alongside. Funny thing is, this rig is a chick magnet. I've seen him in the parking lot of the local big-box store with random women walking up and asking him questions. |

Saw one of those here on display a couple weeks ago, it was a crazy looking thing, but pretty cool. |

I would go Can-Am Spyder first, but any chance to keep out in the wind deserves the props. |

City, on a Spyder, where exactly would you park your wheelchair while you were out and about? Gives "pub crawl" a whole new meaning.... ~SM |

I saw a guy with a servicar that had a chair rack on the back. I also once saw a shovelhead trike with a left hand shifter with a clutch lever on it like an old steamshovel control. No left footpeg NEVER give up! |

One of the members of the local Celtic Motorcycle Club had an accident years back and was paralyzed from the waist down. The rest of the members all chipped in and converted a Honda Valkyrie into a trike with a special wheelchair cradle in the rear. This is a photo of him signing up for Pop's Run last year:
