Take a close look at this rider

Wow, does he actually use that for throttle of move it to the other side/custom up a leftie throttle?

Hes got the throttle on his left

Yeah, I didn't see any cables on the right other than the brake line.....

Props to that cat, big balls for sure. Kinda makes you wonder about the whole professional "my pussy hurts today, I cant ride" mentality.

Looks like front brake is on the left too...Maybe a hydro clutch on right? There used to be a guy around here that raced four wheeler MX he had an amputated arm and no prosthetic!!! guy hauled ass!! Jumped evrything at Village Creek when I saw him race.

You must have Xray vision, because all the controls are on the left side...Throttle, Clutch and Front brake.

Ooops, meant the master cylinder.......

Damn!

Saw that sitting there and just ASSumed there was a hose coming from it.....

I wonder how that works, because I doubt there is any way to use the brake and the clutch at the same time with the same hand. Maybe he has one of those Rekluse automatic clutches or something.

Either way...very cool

I remember that guy, seems like he was a front to mid packer in the fast amatuer class. I wonder what happened to him.
We're having a quad race at VC this weekend, I guess I'll ask around.

So, you get out to Village much?

No, went out in Oct, first time since Oct 2002 when I left there w/ a plate in my forearm!!! i race TCCRA and TORO, I started too old (30) to learn how to fly!!!....I enjoyed the track in Oct...hope they keep it that way....Been to RV a few times and enjoyed it, cant wait to see how the new layout is...I like to follow someone over the gaps a few times before I get comfy!!! My nephews give me ahrd time they are or were some pretty fast local kids (Cody and Justin Dickey)

Cody and Justin are still fast.

We're having a TORN race pretty soon, you should check it out. I don't know if you've heard, but there is a new day track on the north end.

Two guys in my area with half of their left arm. one rests it on the bars with a hand guard the others is gone before the elbow he doesn't use it at all. they both jump everything and ride really well. One passed me @ Broome a few years back and i followed him for a lap watching how he jumped and controlled the bike with just his right arm pretty amazing.

There was a guy around here in the early 70s that was missing the lower half of his arm AND was deaf. He flat out ripped in 125B and this was before they had the fancy prosthetics. He 'held on' with his elbow, basically. I can't remember his name, but the local paper did a big story about him.

He was in Holeshot magazine years ago. He lost his arm in a boating accident, and he flew at Badlands. Maybe Shand or someone from holeshot knows where he is.

Mert Lawwill has been building those for years.

These kids are cool. Ben from Belgium. 19yrs old. Shoulder went with the arm. Didn't slow him down a bit. Jumps everything in sight.

I raced with a 25 yr old guy this summer (winter) in Brasil that also has no right arm below his elbow and he is the "national class" champion!~ Its kinda strange but in Brasil the National class is all 250 honda 4 stk's that are air/oil cooled, right side up forks and steel tanks etc. They are still being built here but are a 20 yr old design. Amost all street bikes in Brasil are these things also. Anyway, he was born with no right arm and is fast as heck plus a really nice guy! Oh and there are also most of the usual classes like in the USA but the "national class" has to be seen to be appreciated

Jimmy Osbourn or "Lefty". Awesome guy. When Katrina hit the coast he loaded up his Bobcat (still don't know how he drove it) and went to Louseyana. Haven't seen or heard from him since. I believe he was in one of the quaddamnit movies, the quad father, I think.

Thanks Shane, I mean Billybob. I think I'll still ask the guys at this weeks "Hill billy Nat's" if they've heard from him. I'll let you know what I hear.
