      Sure thing fuzzy!  Hey listen, I saw a rig on ebay some time ago, that was a SOHC 750, with a sidecar and it was operated by the owner who was "wheelchair". He would roll up on the sidecar frame, larch his chair down, start the bike up and drive the rig from the sidecar (had the handlebars setup on the sidecar and hooked to the forks with linkage). When his wife would ride with him, she would sit on the rear portion of the motorcycle seat, as if he was sitting in front of her. Quite a setup, with I had kept the photos. Speaking of wheelchairs and bikes though, there is a fellow here in Greenwood, who rides a H-D w/ a sidecar. Thing is, he had an accident, that left him paralyzed from the hips down. His sidecar frame has a nose on it and a ramp on the back. He will roll up to the rig, roll up the ramp, onto the sidecar, latch the wheelchair down, raise the ramp with a lever (hooked to linkage), move himself over to the bike, put his helmet on, start the bike and ride off. I was fascinated at how he had things all worked out. 8) Sorry, no pics :(
