Handy Hack CB400A

Last week Him and me rode the bike down to a goon's house to check out progress on a project that has been long in the undertaking, full of conversation and discussion and enlightenement. You see this Handicapped Hack was found out in the elements by "Curvy" pretty much abandoned and began the restoration on this fun machine. The intention all along was to complete the restoration and donate it to a worthy disabled vet who still likes to ride. Members from the ADV rider forum have donated labor and parts. Upon completion all contributors will have their names listed on the side car. For more information ADV Rider Forum.
The bike is a 1978 Honda CB400A (Automatic) which makes it much easier to control.  There is a diamond plate ramp that lowers and raises with a hand crank.  So far we have seen it ridden up and down the street chariot style with non-disabled riders. All controls are hand operated and tied back to the motorcycle.  Yup there is even a radio installed.  Pretty cool huh!
