Why I ride motorcycles with no legs. (Harley Fatboy) 

Your gonna blow up fast brother much respect for the struggles you’ve gone through it makes me happy to see you living life to the fullest despite your circumstances

reason # 432 to ride a bike with no legs: weight reduction bro

My neighbor lost both his legs in a trike accident where his gf was killed and he lost both his legs and was left with a big gash from a stop sign in his back. He drove a wheelchair accessible van around. When I went blind for 4 years, he drove me everywhere... it was kind of funny in the stores... we must of made quite a caricature... a guy in a wheelchair and a blind person. He drove me to almost all of my eye surgery appointments and as of this year I'm no longer blind. He passed away a few months ago. I went and picked up my brand new motorcycle 120 miles away on the next day. It was suppose to be the day before but the seller didn't get back to me in time. His death was an unexpected shock, but I made it a moral imperitive to go pick up the bike anyway. UPS brought me a new rear tire for it today. My advice is watch what you eat carefully and keep the pounds off to your normal weight. He couldn't walk so he ballooned up. Walking is a main way people burn off excess calories. My grandfather lost his leg win a woodchopping machine. He still ran jogging races with his prosthetic and had a cabinet full of trophies, mainly because there was so few competitors in his age category.

The kid nodding made me smile... you cant keep a good man down, gutsy effort mate.. 😊

Bro, so happy you’re riding, be safe, the most important thing to remember is you keeps your eyes up, and looking where you want to go (less surprises)

I hated on goldwings all my life. Then I saw a video of a dude using one as a dirtbike. Adventure bike , rock crawling and it’s still running. So I think it has earned some respect from me. Being bullet proof. And I had no idea they were automatic

Thanks for serving our country , we owe you and many others for their sacrifices, thanks for all you have done

I got to the end of the video before I realized you only have 300 subs! The editing and how confident you talk made me think I was watching a video with tens of thousands of views. Keep up the work brother I’ll be watching from now on

idk why i was expecting you to not have prosthetics and just be shifting everything with your hands that was what i was going to say until i kept watching .. being a 2 legged freak im shocked how well you ride that beast ... awesome spirit and attitude man im going to be checking out your journey from now on for sure 🤙

You are an inspiration, I sent this video to my pops (ex rider, double amputee) unfortunately his health now is too bad to ride now, but this video brought tears to his eyes. Thank you for your service!

New sub! Thank you for your service. I want to ride but i was too afraid so i figured id take baby steps and bought a scooter. Im having the time of my life! Msf course is my next step then im looking for a good deal on a used harley sportster. I cant wait!

I love the attention you get. Thank you for your service!

That's pretty amazing that you can ride that bike that way.

inspiration. My dad is having surgery on his leg the 29th this month to help restore proper blood flow. he cant currently walk properly right now. hopefully after all this is done he'll be able to get back to riding!

holy shit man. 200 hundred subs? We bouta blast you into fame brother

Good to know that if I ever get my legs blown off one of the these days while out in the field I'll still be able to ride my bike lol. Nothing short of amazing brother, God bless

Good for you! You have improvised, adapted and have overcome your disability! I have a bad leg and a bad back and the bike keeps me doing my physical therapy daily so I can get out there and ride....................

That’s awesome brother! Total badassery.

Thankyou for your service! Im sorry you lost your legs.. What you need is to relocate the rear brake to your left hand if you can like how stunt riders do it. asfore the clutch not sure. If you can I would try to relocate the gear shifter to the right side so you dont have to cross your hand over

The other day I was in the left lane and there was a Harley in the right lane. Couldn’t figure what I was seeing on the left side of his bike. Finally pulled up along side him at the light and realized it was his prosthetic leg. Pretty impressive! I’m still trying to remember where all of the controls are!

thank u so much for your service and sorry about the IED. so awsome u r riding man.. u r kicking butt on that thing. I just started riding in October and it's not an easy task for sure. I am gonna subscribe on both of my channels...

Hey brotha! Just found your channel, I just wanted to know what an inspiration you are man! I've been going through some bad times and sometimes feel like giving up. Then I saw you, after such a catastrophic injury, your out living your life like a boss it's effin beautiful! Its winter here cant ride til spring but I'll be watching you kill it until then. Thank you for sharing your story brotha, it's doing more good than you know 🫡

Semper Fi brother and thank you for your service!!!!

Love the grips!

Thank you so much for your service sir!

Just stumbled across this video. You are an inspiration my friend. Keep on riding and being who you are. P.S. As an ex army man myself (from another country so no active combat) I was getting emotional while you were telling the story but then Lieutenant Dan popped up and I laughed so hard!!! Thank you brother.

You also have easy access to J.R. if you happen to smoke cigars. I've done two tours in Iraq, myself; glad to see our Uncle couldn't keep you down. I ride a jockey-shift shovelhead, but I'll be the first to admit it's very impractical. Interesting videos, I'm gonna start watching more of them. Semper Fidelis! --SSG Robert C. Martin Jr. USA

You go bro. Your awesome.

Thank you for your service!

I recently bought a new 2023 Triumph 660 sport and of course love content like Gixxer bro and all these other motorcycle videographers as I planned a ride super conservatively

Thank you

I love sounds of those bikes tho it always my favorite motorcycles

Been to that Biscuitville 😂much respect Marine 💪

Rocking! Hope to see you on the road in the future!

I seen the title of the video and was like what?!?!? But much love. Keep on doing what your doing

3:22 my mom was sooooo mad at me when I said that’s so cool mom I want a motorcycle. Well 20 years later we ride together hahah

I knew you were a marine the moment you mentioned having bearing over an itchy nose lol Semper Fi bro

Bro I am so glad I came to your vid my man🤙🏿

I lost complete vision in my left eye in Iraq 2004 due to TBI. 20 years later and I still struggle with depth perception sometimes, but I've learned a lot of tricks to mitigate the problems and ride every day there isn't ice on the ground (not too common in Texas thankfully). Can't imagine riding without legs, but I know I'd figure it out like you did since the 2 wheel therapy is almost the best kind there is. Appreciate the content man, I'll send you enough for a few snack packs of Crayola's whenever you get a Patreon.

You might want to try a Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. With a shorty GP exhaust it'll sound like a Harley!

Looking forward to the "How I Shift" video..

Great to see you on two wheels ! Ride free!

The little one was digging that!!! Great stuff just subbed your channel!! Small RU-vidr myself!

Semper Fidelis brother, subscribed. I was in '08-'12, did a pump to Afghan too. 🤙🏼❤️ Edit: Oh and I ride too.

You're the coolest guy on the road

Good $hit brother keep up the good videos.

Sick video bro. Just subscribed. Quick question, have you thought of having a hand operated hydraulic shifter and/or rear brake installed? I know a large portion of professional racers like motogp and motoAmerica riders prefer a hand operated rear brake since it allows them to hang a leg off the bike when braking to aid weight transfer, so I'd imagine it must be commercially accessible too

I'm subscribing with you because right off you show super common sense with the mattress stores, my sister who is totally Anti conspiracy and a total woke not awake, yet she even believes there's a conspiracy with mattress companies as there are just way too many and people don't replace them that much

Bro I love your jokes lmao keep making videos

there is a company called Össur that is one of the most advanced prosthetics company in the world they have made legs for motorcyclists

And you can get an electronic shift setup so you can shift with your thumb!!

Nice video man. I ride but ya. Not like you do. Goldwings are automatic aren’t they? Aside from the 1200 pounds I bet that would be easy to adapt to hands only operation.

daamn, good workboots are so hard to find. improvise, adapt and overcome.

I was in Kandahar in 2011-2012 C-130J technician. I appreciate your service sir.

You could get a recluse clutch. That would help you out alot

Buddy, you can get a brake master cylinder that splits so that the brake lever will control both brakes!!

rah brother you got a new subscriber happy 03 month!

Hey man, I was wondering if you've ever tried a handbrake for your rear, I'm from the motorcycle stunting scene and a lot of people use one, but it could give a bit more ease of use while riding especially at a stoplights. As well maybe a Easy Pull Clutch might help with fatigue if you sit at lights for a while.

Are you a fan of motor Jitsu RU-vid channel? He is also a past marine and motorcycle instructor out of California and seems really down to earth and super cool

Riding with one hand, i understand the itchy nose problem. Currently riding an automatic bike so I can scratch my nose when stopped, but its not ideal. Manual is more fun. Have you thought about using a rekluse style clutch? Its a lot of money just to scratch your nose though.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,( I couldn't serve physical denied 😞), great to see you have turned things to your favor, do you have a sticker i could display, playing with same weather in Ohio,

Would a foot clutch and custom tank or jockey shift work for you? Just a thought. Keep riding and God bless!

Haha now i get the tounge in nose

you getting SMC-K?

Hey at least with ju jitsu you're immune to leg locks. well... it wont hurt.

I'm really curious how you feel about how you feel about automatic bikes, or can am trikes. I totally understand if this bike has sentimental value though. Maybe a test ride video sometime?

I was complaining when buying riding pants for 170 bucks. Life of a two legged freak. 😭 also, you shift better than me with two working legs. This is bullshit. ♥♥

BUT LT. DAN, YOU GOT NO LEGS!?!?😅

BZ.

I just subscribed on both my channels.. ride safe. what about a suicide shifter?

🤙🇺🇸🫡👋👍👍

Gonna be riding with no hands next time you dump it. Put some gloves on.

Damn, bruh... just grow new legs! 🤦‍♂

No one else finds this disturbing to watch??

You're making some very fundamental mistakes of motorcycle riding... specifically, you're breaking my #1 rule... #1 You want to be expanding the distance between you and all other objects stationary and moving as much as possible. If you're worried about a car you're driving right next to you that does not see you or is looking at their instagram, what is the solution? Stay as far away from them as possible. Don't just go pulling up next to them and riding next to them. What are you doing???

At the very least you can’t lose your legs in a motorcycle crash, positives to everything

Inspiration is an understatement. Thanks for pushing me. I’m finally getting care and treatments through the VA. 🫡

Bro, so pumped, I found your channel. I'm definitely subscribed, and following from here on out, 🤙🦿🦿🏍

😎👍🦘
