The bloke I was on about
Had lost his right leg, hence the throttle/brake thingy. Merely pointing out you don't have to use autos.
I was thinking about a similar problem a few weeks back y'see. Mate of mine got offered a motorbike he didn't want, but had an idea of building a trike for his mate with his left leg missing. We were trying to figure out how to do the gearchange (for those who don't know, on bikes you usually have the gear lever on a foot pedal, and the clutch on the left hand). Then a few days later I went to look at a bike owned by another bloke with dodgy legs. He'd swapped the back brake a gear lever round on all his to make life easier. Sadly the trike project came to nothing, as the donor bike was utterly, utterly knackered.
I find mechanical problems like this very interesting, I'm not trying to suggest you can't figure it out.
