    That wheel chair side car is a great idea not a lot of mods required for the bike IE handle bars relocated rear brake and shift controls, and could be adapted for many different motorcycle brands .
    That chariot race looks like fun but the riders should be wearing shiny chest armor spiked helmets an armored pleat gladiator skirt and wielding a mace or a sword.

    As someone that's both a lifelong biker and restrained to a wheelchair, I can appreciate that very much. I've been unable to build anything for myself since my wreck, but my shop and projects are still there, waiting for the time I can build again.

    Great posts Jon! Like the innovations and as you said "hate those little smart cars slightly less"...but they just don't look safe to me especially against a big moose Suburban/SUV.

    And here I thought Mile speedway was almost as crazy as oval ice racing on bikes but these chariot dual bike guys took it to a whole new level of insanity, prior to either. Wow, Who Knew... Thanks for finding that one.

    Wonder if they ever tried 4 bikes like Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur...then they would be the 4 iron horsemen of the Apocalypse.
