Hi... I just joined the forum today :)

I'm a new rider. About a month ago I took the MSF training course and then bought my first bike. It's taking some getting used to. I learned on a Honda Rebel then ended up buying a Harley (2008 XL883L Sportster). I still have a lot to learn... this forum is great!

Hey to all,
I found this today and thought id give it a shot...Ive just bought a Honda CBF 600s and am learning to ride...with one small difference I have an artificial arm as I was born with part of my left arm missing from just below the elbow...always dreamed of riding a bike, never thought Id actually be able to do it but with help & support of friends and family and the NADB (national assoc. for bikers with a disability) I am getting there...bike is being adapted fairly soon so I can get out and learn to ride it...
Thought I'd say hi here and see what I can learn!
:D Lisa (aka armless1)

Hey...armless....:welcome2: to TMW.

It's wonderful to have the opportunity to learn to ride. I wish you the best of luck. :)

We have a blog section. If you feel inclined you can journal your adventure there for all to read. :)

Here is another individual who has made it through the struggles of learning to ride one handed. It takes a lot of courage to do what you two do.

Lisa,

Good for you! I would love to see how they adapted the bike for you when it is finished.

And welcome to the forum as well, both of you :) It is a great place :)

Sorry for posting in the Ladies Lounge, but I wanted to welcome you to the community as well.

I love Van Nuys, California! I was just there for the weekend in early February and visited Galpin Autosports (Pimp my ride show)..haha. :D

Great area, sunny and warm. Ahh...

Mike

Hi Hadria,

That's a beautiful new bike. Congrats on passing the MSF.

I'm right over the hill from you in Santa Monica.
I've been riding for a year and a half but still consider myself a beginner.
I'm recovering from my first little crash I had a few weeks ago, but expect to get my bike back this week.
PM me if you would like to get together to ride.

Flipper
