5 years ago, when I was thinking of a sidecar I found Roland on the internet. He recommended the sidecar that you know. Motorbike accident paraplegic. Builds his own designs, won European prices. Rides big bikes with sidecar. Pictures shows him in the Italian Alps.
Roland wants to ride Thailand, however not this year. Cautioned him that Thailand is not very accessible for traveling handicapped people, e.g. toilets, guesthouses.
His answer= camper possible? His wife would follow him, a camper would have bed and toilet.

Any brain storming ideas?

I think it's an absolutely fantastic idea and it might help raise awareness among our Thai hosts about all the things handicapped people can accomplish.

As long as he has a support vehicle I don't see why such a trip wouldn't be feasible.

It certainly would be an honor to meet this gentlemen and ride with him!

Well Tony,
Roland says many thanks and he is looking forward to the pleasure. And he is sending his latest self-made concotion which, unfortunatelly, he cannot bring over
PS. : Ignorant as I am on real bikes, I wouldn't even know what beast of bike that is

Here's more info. Not my cup of tea but an impressive piece of engineering nonetheless.
Colin, first time I really get an idea how much craftmanship Roland put into this vehicle. Highly impressive!

A bit off topic, but I used to hang glide with a paraplegic back in the 70s. He had his hang glider set up with a seat and wheels and we literally used to push him off a cliff.

Sadly he landed in the sea and drowned.

A bit of info about him here - Wayne Blackmore.

Wow! Who owns this? Is the owner a wheelchair user etc? I'm an Aussie looking at cruising around Asia over the next few years... Maybe for ever :) I've ridden Harley trikes in which I built the ass end. If any one knows of people out there that are looking at trikes or sidecars or already own them .. I'd love to chat to you and pick your brain.. Thx Wedge on Wheels.
