 |
|
Talan has asked on another forum If anybody is local to Donington this tuesday.
| Quote: | I am off to Donington on Tue 15th May with No Limits, is anyone going? If so, could they offer some help in unloading, launch and catching? I am a bit stuffed at these things as I'm paralysed. Will be on a bright orange RSVR1000, unless it rains when the GSXR750 will come out to play (I have wets for it and traction control!!). Cheers. Talan |
For those that don't know who he is, He was a Royal Navy fighter controller who is disabled from the chest down, But it hasn't stopped him winning 2 bronze medals in the paralympics and is still a very keen biker, He even created a company called The Bike Experience, a charity established to help motorcycle riders who are now paraplegic to ride again.

So If anybody is local can you please give him a bit of help with unloading and catching him?
Cheers
