Awe inspiring photo
What make this an 'awe inspiring' photo for me?
Give you a couple of crop / clues #1 - twin brake levers #2 - clamp / grips to hold feet on the pegs and knee's to the tank The guy has taken an age to get his racing licence, has to start from the pits but finished and wasn't last - anyone with that much determination / passion deserves a mountain of praise - just goes to prove the old saying "if the mind is willing" For me as a biker and knowing how tough it is to throw a bike around a circuit with everything working and seeing this guy ride a lot better whilst paralysed from the waist down. . . . . . yes I am in awe and don't mind admitting it. .DAVID. First race, starting from the pit lane and came in 21st I believe - top man |

Where there's a wheel, there's a way!
Good luck to the fella, it obviously means the world to him. |

Very well done to a man who is obviously more passionate and brave than I could ever dream to be!

Reminds me of Darrin Sharp, who I saw racing at Brands some years ago...when he came past me at Clearways the first time I thought he was just resting his arm briefly - maybe with pins and needles or numbness - but then next lap same thing....
http://www.nabd.org.uk/openhouse/openhouse45/45p10.htm Amazing...though I think he suffered at the start with a reduction in control...once up to speed he was quick! |
