Well, I have a sidecar here in my garage, and still just need to find the right 
bike to fit it to, and the idea (part of it anyway) is that I might be able to 
persuade some sighted person to sit in the side car and direct me while I ride 
the bike - although it's not quite the same.

Otherwise, always say at some stage, similar to how I get instructed when 
riding on the pit area of Phakisa, I want to wait until a busyish - but not too 
busy - time at a day jol, and ride into the parking area myself, park the bike, 
climb off, take my helmet off, pull out cane from inside my jacket, and walk up 
to entrance fee table - all of this just to hear the comments etc....LOL!

Lastly, how does that one song go:
...open your eyes, and see me...

We can break their assumption barriers, but we need to make sure we make a good 
impression (mental impression, not a physical one <smile>)

Have also already had at least one guy come up to me while was dancing on main 
dance floor in front of band on stage at a bike rally, and tell me I just made 
him feel 'stupid' about ever having worried about having only one eye.

Like always say, my one friend's saying is:
live with it, deal with it

Just that some of us swap it around a bit:
deal with it, so you can live with it...

Stay well

  Thanks Jacob, appreciated.
  I tend to brag a bit or sound a bit too confident at times, but then I love 
my horse and what he does for me, I feel he's worth bragging about.  But ja the 
idea is to make sighted public aware of the various activities blind people can 
do, especially if those activities are thought not to be blind friendly at all.

  Ps:  When are we going to start a Blind Hells Biker group, as long as we have 
a few sighted bikers with extremely loud pipes to follow.

  Thanks / Regards

    Already downloaded and listened to it, and it came out nice - and Carl 
sounds good/confident - good to let sighted people hear about things of this 
nature.

      Hi list, if anyone's interested in hearing my chat on horse riding, on 
the Disability Report last night, I managed to link it via my web site.

      Right-click on the SAFM Interview link and "Save Target AS", it's 5 MB.

      Thanks / Regards
