G'day guys,

We yep you guess it, my partner had a bike accident a few years ago on the road that left her in a chair, oh well "profanity removed" happens and it's the game we play.

Anyway spent a few years trying to get her back on the road, looks like that is all but not going to happen, only track type stuff which means it's hard to ride together.....will still do trackdays with her but are now also considering getting a bit dirty, and a atv seems like a perfect idea for her, although again it would seem vicroads doesn't want a disabled person to enjoy any aspect of life except for knitting and cross stitch Rolls eyes but as you can probably guess my girl isn't quite into those sorts of hobbies.

SO been searching the boards for some info, looks like rec req is not possible, and we aren't farmers, seen this thing about conditional rego.

Does anyone know if this is suitable for a disabled person.

Is there anyway to get her back into some sort of normal hobby?
Pm if you don't want to post online

Thanks for any help anyone can offer

Cheers stewy

Hey,

I'm in a chair myself and ride ATV's..... It's great to see she is committed to get back on a bike. I'm from NSW and have been wonting to get my quad registered for years as it would be a lot easier running to the shops etc. than a car. Please let me know if you hear anything else about this.

Here is a video of me riding to show that anyone in chairs can still ride.( sorry about the sound)..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgyWqRytpq8
