Adam Crawshaw Has Gas Gas
from Open House Issue 100
by TheNABD
After an accident in 2010, Adams’ left leg was amputated below the knee. He decided that he needed to get back on two wheels and was pointed in the direction of the National Association for Bikers with a Disability.
He applied through the grants system for a Kliktronic gear changer for his Gas Gas EC250, which was approved and sent out to him.
He decided to fit the Kliktronic himself and by machining the Kliktronics’ actuator to the same shape as the bikes’ front sprocket guard, he was able to get the 90° angle required to attach it to the gear change lever. He then wired it up to the bikes loom and adjusted it as necessary.
He says it’s running like a dream and has enabled him to enjoy his bike once more. Adam wishes to thank the National Association for Bikers with a Disability, and all who have donated money to help.
He’s an ‘extremely’ happy chappie now.
I think you’ll agree, Adam has done an excellent job of it.
