showroom

well, as i was saying i have a disability in my left arm. this hardly stopped me doing what i like this far. i've had a car driving license for 3 years, and i drive cars without any mods. but motorcycles are different. am motorcycle traditionally has the clutch lever on the left side of the handlebar. my left can only hold (pretty weakly) the bar with 3 fingers. my grip isn't that good, the fingers can't reach the clutch lever and pull it without taking the hand off the bar. still i can hold the handlebar and move it with my left hand with medium effort which is a good thing

i started looking at bikes on the market which i could use without mods.

and this is what i found:

aprilia mana. a great street bike with an automatic transmission. unfortunately its pricetag is over 8000 euros. i would have loved a streetbike, but i was in love with dual-sports.

oricum e o frumusete eva-track t-800 cdi e opera de arta. e si adventure, e si diesel, cunsuma 2,5/100km si are cutie cu transmisie continua variabila, ca la unele autobuze. da' pretu e cumplit! 17,5 kilo-euro. da-te ca sa imi bag...

eva-track t-800 cdi is, in my humble opinion, a work of art. it's a big adventure bike, with a diesel engine made for the swatch smart minicar. it runs on 2,5l/100km which is great too. and it has a continuous variable transmission, like some city buses do. no clutch lever there. still the price tag is 17.500 euros... way too much for a middle class guy in eastern europe

many people i talked to about me riding a bike told me to get a maxiscooter. they said it was a nice, reliable machine, and you don't change gears. how come? i come looking to play rugby and you send me to table tennis bevause it's still played with a ball?
