When I woke up in the hospital, I found out my spine was crushed on impact and I was paralyzed from the chest down. My life has forever changed but thanks to a Shoei helmet, I still have my mind...something I couldn't live with out in this condition.

Since my accident, I've had to learn to live all over again. Instead of pissing and moaning, I have vowed to keep my head up and figure things out. Everyone was amazed that only 4 months after my accident, I was back to work and driving again.

My love for riding never faded after my accident. 6 months ago, my goal became getting back on my bike. (My family is real happy about that...) After a ton of work, blood sweat and tears, I'm BACK on the same bike. (hence the plate…also my initials) Here is my modified 650R. I use and electric shift solenoid (controlled with left hand) and a linear actuator to raise and lower the "landing gear." (switch on throttle side) It is unbelievably stable. Once I get rolling, I hit a switch on the right hand control and I'm off! I use straps on my legs (not shown in the pics) just as added insurance. Check it out!
