Now This Is Cool....

David Bailey
DB

David Bailey is a true motocross legend. Almost 20 years ago he sustained a riding injury that left him unable to walk; yesterday DB got back on a bike and rode again for the first time since his crash. Ricky James, who also lost the use of his legs to a spinal cord injury, modified his old race bike so it can be ridden without the use of foot controls, instead using a custom seat, frame-mounted nerf bars (incase they fall over), an automatic clutch, lever-operated rear brake, and some foot trays that he can strap his feet into.

I thought this was really cool and inspirational and thought y'all might want to check out these videos of their ride at Lake Elsinore....
