Paraplegic Riding a Motorcycle Again

[@jayholt2101]

Thats the true definition of never giving up.

[@joeblo1]

I can't believe I'm only seeing this 9 years after posting. YT recommends some crazy shit but this is gold. What an inspiration 🤘

[@AtrKrytico]

I can't say nothing. You are awesome, your channel it's going to help many people. I'm not paraplegic, but thanks for your work.

[@GroundingArt]

Wow... wow... it brings tears to my eyes of happiness... so many people live life saying they can't... excuses..excuses....you have proved many things are possible even if it seems like it is impossible... you keep these videos up... cause it's ur calling to show others not to live in a box...think outside the box...

[@sugoiz4276]

best comment.

[@mantaray101]

I‘ve been watching your videos for a while.I became T10 paraplegic for 7 weeks now from the car accident but I also love to ride a bike. I couldn’t stop crying after seeing this clip. For a Biker that yet paralyzed, there is nothing to be glad more than could get back there and ride again. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration. I still stay in the hospital but after I get out. I‘m going to modify my Honda CBF650 just like one of yours.

[@brandonrohrer7914]

I'm in rehab right now I know how you feel

[@danyalchivers4210]

inspirational man, being a able bodied motorcyclist, watching you being able to ride this was just pure magic.

[@BruceInFlorida]

Just saw this video today, Brian. I think the time and energy that you put into creating this motorcycle is awesome !! Also special KUDOS to your friends from the Motorcycle Club for helping you to achieve this goal. This has been published a few years ago, so I hope to learn that all has gone well with the bike !! Congratulations Brian.

[@tibertus]

You are an inspiration! A friend showed us your video and we were so happy to see this. You see, our friend wrecked this past Sunday and broke his neck. His paralysis is like yours, though he is still recovering. In time, we'll show him this video for inspiration. He's nicknamed Wolverine for a good reason. :-) Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

[@goose7574]

Perfect song!!! This is so incredible. Huge props to you for making your life amazing after a traumatic event. This literally brought tears to my eyes to watch you be able to do what you love again. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@79steephill]

The is guy is the essence of never give up. Incredible dude, just incredible.

[@kudi0511]

Sir, This is the great honor for me to see you have not abandoned what you love and trying hard to get back to be a rider a gain. RESPECT!

[@btpawsri]

that was awesome.. great to see that nothing has to change.. just gets done differently

[@mrrodman210]

Wow!!!! I'm at a loss for words. You're living proof what doesn't kill you, only makes you 10x STRONGER!!! You're THE MAN!!!!

[@MrMangelamarde]

The immatriculation "IMBAK" is really inspiring, thank you for making my day faithful !

[@BeckyBebeh865]

you're really an inspiration. obviously nothing can stop you which is amazing.

[@saketkumar3043]

3 minutes 34 seconds in. Love the license plate

[@ParalyzedLiving]

haha thanks! BAK are my initials so it has a double meaning. :)

[@robbversion1]

Its awesome to see people doing what they love no matter the challenge. Way to go man!

[@huhfkrhf]

This is when your real biker colors show. Man your the best of d best brother.

[@anacaja4611]

Congratulations, great work of balance (so difficult for us) and courage. It,s beutiful to see you ride again. Go on with your dreams.

[@SteamBunneh]

this is one of the coolest things i have ever seen. youre quite the inspiration!

[@OH_Outdoorsman]

You are the man Brian! I never seen these videos I was just talking about riding and I brought you up. Well because my God Son Wesley said he wouldn’t where a helmet maybe showing him your helmet will help him realize that you have to. Love ya guys hope to see you soon bud

[@ParalyzedLiving]

Hey Zach!! Yea dude he definitely needs a helmet. I have a video talking about how my helmet saved my life. Here’s the link. Show him!!! Hope to see you soon too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mQkoB4iaiKrNk

[@hillarymclelland1761]

Well done Sir! I really admire your courage, and dedication to riding!

[@antoniobmelaragno633]

All I can say is AWESOME! You are one incredible man!!!!

[@Fosterforged]

Your an inspiration to all those around you. Keep up the great work, and keep your chin up!

[@MattAllenG]

I have MS, have not been on a bike in so long, thought I never would again but man, you sure as hell just changed that, you changed a lot of things, haha rock on!

[@jporterz2873]

I love it man! Good job on the video! Be careful with the low speed maneuvers, it looks like you were about to drag the landing gear with the lean angle you were getting! :)

[@wahwah856]

All I'm going to say is woooooooooow! I'm a beginner rider and I'm still learning. You go boy!

[@aaronhayward3751]

you're the man! truly amazing and an inspiration! much respect

[@headness13]

Counter steering. Check out 'Twist of the wrist 2' for more on the technique. Although its the way to corner on any bike, few people realize it because it's more of a reflex than active thought.

[@renter865]

It is amazing! Thank you for sharing your life and victory!

[@jennjeffs4893]

Ok, thats BEYOND BADASS!!

[@No5GreenSharks]

I love your license plate! You are so awesome!

[@ronniefrutschi2011]

Man I ride and have my legs. But id ride with you any day! Much respect Brother

[@violetbaxter6740]

Could you talk about the breaking system on the bike too thanks! You are an amazing man am so proud of you! Adapt and over come is is you and my MS hubby's motto!!

[@gundamnitpete]

"IMBAK" Best license plate EVER!

[@steve675cc]

My best pal and brother in arms was paralysed from an IED attack, he has a VROD Trike, but in two weeks time he will be riding an Honda Fireblade on a closed military base runway. If you have facebook please get intouch with him "Chris Baker RE" or B.R.A.V.E. Bikers Respect All Veterans Equally, because any advise on riding two wheels would be great. He won't have any stabilisers on the bike he will be riding but will have catchers, but he really wants to get something like this for his bike. Well done on not letting your injury hold you back. MLHR

[@parapelegicBUD]

hey dude cool vid what assist system are yu using?

[@kikoteixeira2561]

Awesome! I always thought if i wanted to get a motorcycle it would have to be a trike or a 4 wheel. Mind telling me how do you maintain balance while driving and if you have to brake hard do those stabilizers work well? And also.. do you have a way to reverse the bike?

[@TankerReview]

Now this is a hack to remember. Well done. I do not know what else to say.

[@2HAWG]

Hey brother, that’s awesome. Wondering if you could send me info on where to buy the outrigger system or at least the basic layout and the size of linear actuator it uses.

[@rjoad011]

Are the sky stick outriggers made for this bike modification or did you create these? Are they automatic or do you have to hold them down - which would be a bit too much to handle in an emergency. They work very well though.

[@halfnelson6115]

I got a lump in my throat when I saw his license plate. Good for you brother. 👍

[@ParalyzedLiving]

BAK are also my initials. Double meaning!

[@wolfman7123]

this guy is full of SO MUCH WIN

[@CristianDuca]

Amazing! Good for you! How do you brake? Using only the front lever?

[@ParalyzedLiving]

Cristi Duca yes I was only using the front lever. Some other people have a dual brake lever though.

[@johnvalerio2594]

Amazing man I'm paraplegic 8 years ago

[@Scrambler500Josh]

Love the license plate.. this is amazing.

[@rjoad011]

I am impressed. I like to ride a Yamaha Rhino side x side due to the stability that I get from a modified seat. I wanted to be in a seat that was just like my wheelchair so I modified a platform that would fit in the place of the stock one. But that was just to get to the point that the only time that I tried to get on a 4x4 I felt very unstable - and I hung onto the handle grips very nervously due to my paraplegia high waist down. I did it but I was scared of the feeling of being not held side to side. I don't know if I even have a balance point anymore. But we do what we want to do to the level that makes us satisfied and have some fun. Right?

[@DropkickJimmy]

how you getting on all these years later bud? ive got a spine cancer which is about to paralyse me from t9 of my thoratic spine. its a matter of when now and not if unfortunately and one of the biggest things is gonna be losing my ability to ride. This was cool to see man.

[@Bauder268]

I am in the process of making a setup like yours for my R1. I am a T-8 para, I was wondering what actuator you used and where you got it? Thanks for your time and input.

[@Rocketboy1950]

Different attitudes in different countries. My pal lost a leg and the first thing the authorities did was take his MC licence off him. On a different subject; I though that Go Pros were better than that and had image stabilization in them.

[@premkrishneelsingh1403]

the recording was probably way shakier and the go pro did its best

[@drewolenick2173]

awesome video man and the song is a perfect match. Just curious is there room to store your wheelchair on the bike, or can I buy a mount or something? Because before my accident I was purely a rider no cars for me, and I would like to get back to that again, but I obviously cant ride without my chair. So I was just curious to see what my options were in that field please and thank you.

[@PFieroGT87]

That's fucking cool man. 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul.

[@ebaysutube]

You Sir , are a bad ass! What gimp sports have you tried? Ski racing NEEDS you! Great factor with your high injury and really the most equalizer sport I've tried....Maybe because I haven't tried a bike. Carry a wheelchair on that Ninja somehow and that would really be transportation. Wouldn't be pretty tho! Love the lic. plate!

[@ahmadbayoumi4524]

hi ,i d like to know how u get reverce when u need to,and how u control the motorcycle with ur waist,am t 12 and i love to have a bike and ride it but dont know how to park and get reverse ,ill wait ur answer and suggestions for me,thank in advance

[@robertgraham5619]

You make me feel ashamed such willingness to meet life on its own terms. I have both legs and arms and don't have the courage/heart to take on life as much as you. Never would have conceived you could ride that bike as you do. What's next, building a rocket ship and flying to the moon? Thanks for the amazing inspiration.

[@biggestbra8569]

you are awesome! a real inspiration

[@warrenhall2412]

Yeah my name is Philip in 2017 and 1145 I become a paraplegic and I had a Harley and dirt bikes and have been unable to ride for the last 7 years and I would love to be able to get back on a motorcycle and be able to get out of the house and be able to enjoy myself again like I used to and have that freedom again I am a t7 pairoplegik .

[@aryayogarudhita5138]

can we put modification to place reverse gear on the bike? to deal with tight corner..

[@dj8422]

You"re amazing!!! Respect!!

[@GaBoYnFla]

Keep on riding buddy!

[@comsfan09]

I have to ask the stupid question. Do the balance bars deploy automatically or do you have to operate them yourself?

[@krajpurohit]

Can you tell us The side wheels that you have applied come down automatically for hitting the brakes or they have to be manually lowered.

[@ParalyzedLiving]

kalaram rajpurohit they have to be manually lowered using a separate switch on the right handlebar.

[@cistters]

great vid. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-sz6dm8fy2m]

Dude, how did you get those bars on the side installed? And where did you get it done if you didnt do it yourself?? Im also a recent para

[@ParalyzedLiving]

@@user-sz6dm8fy2m hey man! This was a custom setup that I installed with the help of some other biker buddies but it’s pretty simple. I’m sorry to hear about your accident but feel free to holler at me through Facebook messenger if you want to chat. The beginning is always a crazy time.

[@BagelKing212]

Made my day mate

[@projectlord2007]

Svaka ti čast!

[@berrydean216]

Hi how did you have ur bike modified. .is it a place that did it for u

[@gatortail20]

is there a website or something where u got the electric shift

[@Doorknobs11]

This is amazing

[@lukeskywheeler]

Not taking you chair with you means you cannot leave your bike. Quite an inconvenient ! Do you plan to further adapt the bike ?

[@AshleyKitchings]

How do you keep your balance in the curves?

[@xPOSSUMx]

how did you do this mod? i have wanted to get into riding forever but am disabled im not paraplegic but am really weak and worried about laying it over at stop signs ect... would love to do this to a bike so i can ride

[@clairehiggins7120]

I love your number plate 🤣👍

[@ParalyzedLiving]

claire higgins haha thanks! BAK are also my initials so it has a double meaning. 😊

[@DexterGoneWild]

I wish I had this on my motorcycle. Not paralyzed, you just know when you get lazy and don't want to put your feet down at a stop. I'll sometimes put the kickstand down and then put my feet up.

[@ParalyzedLiving]

an electric shifter controlled by two buttons on the handle bars.

[@cacapedopismierda]

where could buy that?

[@jessiejones907]

Awesome man.

[@Wolf0ne]

Amazing, indeed!

[@kennycampbelljr5896]

I wish I could afford to ride again!

[@TheSxwmaster]

Hey, still have the Ninja for sale to another para?

[@ashtonfuquay9729]

Where can I find where to buy it

[@DollerPrinterC]

you are real rider thumbs up !!! ;)

[@praveshyadav9852]

Very good

[@bryantacazon6786]

That is amazing how a bike can change the life of humankind

[@nickgnaime]

license plate is fitting "IMBAK" =D

[@ParalyzedLiving]

@eyesofpegasus Yes, I'm kidding...

[@billiewilliams1836]

Love this

[@101dunerider]

How do you get around when you get to your destination with no wheel chair?

[@ParalyzedLiving]

+101dunerider That was the major downfall to this set up. I always had to have someone transport the chair to my destination.

[@sadahaq3564]

[@ziyingwang1699]

AWESOME
