moving right along
« on: January 22, 2015, 09:46:42 PM »
 finally got one of three of my new legs, this one is to teach me to walk with a prosthetic. the second one will teach me to walk better and will fit me better and the third one will be in my final leg. so maybe by summer time I'll be riding if I can get my bike back together and I'll have all painted, talk to you all later Jim

Good job Jim, my brother had his foot amputated a year or so (diabetes) and has been given a prosthetic leg like that, but his knees are shot so I don't think he'll be riding again. Anyway, well done mate, I hope you're riding again soon! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

bad thing is the first leg.I got about 25 pounds and I don't have enough strength in my right leg between the knee and my thigh to swing the leg forward but it all takes time I have to gain strength in the thigh muscle to do this Jim

Hey we've got CNC's and this is one of the things we talked about manufacturing custom  solutions is the brake/gearshift moto adaptation because of your thread that may be marketable. (shameless isn't it?)

Keep us in the loop.  Good to see you are on your 'feet' so quickly. Keep your  chin up about doing everything you used to do.  These things take time.
