The interesting part, to me, is not the bike. |

Yeah, this was over in the Quick Board too... I want to see more and read a story on it. I see a wheel chair so maybe it's for a disabled person? |

looks like sidecar with wheelchair storage to me. Maybe someone should check out the website painted on the side of the bike. |

I don't like it, it kills the particularities of Buells! |

I checked out their website and only the home page works. Looks like they do trike and sidecar mods. I have a family member who is a double amputee from an RPG round in Iraq. I think that is great if it allows someone wheelchair bound to ride again. With so many of our soldier being wounded this is a great service they are providing. |

I just checked out their website and noticed that they aren't too far from me, maybe an hours ride. Once the bike is back together I may have to pay 'em a visit to see what they're all about. There are a couple of members here that are really close, maybe a 20 or 30 minute ride. |

I didn't see handlebars on the bike itself so I'm thinking its a wheelchair accessible Buell. My congratulations to the owner even if he won't be dragging his kneecaps with the rest of us |

I've seen a bike accessible for the wheelchair this year in Daytona. the built was very smart and really gave the opportunity to an handicapped to drive the bike. this one it's just a sort of a sidecar, probably accessible to a wheelchair, but not rideable from him... |

Is that "Racewinder" still available that's on there? That looks cooler than the Forcewinder. |

There's something about the orange and black paint schemes that I like. Interesting bike. |

More from their site: http://www.queenscustomcycles.com/aboutus.html ""Can't is NOT a option!" We are a privately owned company established in 1995. Owned and operated by Greg Queen, a Certified Harley-Davidson Techinician. We specialize in: custom motorcycles, trikes, sidecars, high peformance engine modifications, repairs, and services. We can create or modify bikes for anyone with a desire to ride, including those who have a physical disability. I was around bikes my entire life and from a very early age learned to ride. After years of riding and racing I had a paralizing injury. Being unable to ride gave me the desire to customize my own motorcycles so I could continue to ride. This is when I decided I wanted to do the same for others and began to customize bikes for those with and without physical disabilites. We take pride in our work whether you need a simple repair or a completely customized bike, remember: "CAN'T IS NOT AN OPTION!!!"" |

I think its great that someone in wheelchair isn't forced away from being able to ride any more. I'm sure these machines are not cheap though. |
