About:An Evolving Concept

I have viewed these webpages for almost 2 years now. I am a qualified Toolmaking and Motorcycle Engineer. It is not always possible to buy what you need off the shelf but, with rigorous planning anything is possible.
If you don't have the tools; modify what you have or create something that will do the job. Some of my inventions sit in my garage and I would like to share them with the world they are that good. The R&D of my products is long and has raised a few wry smiles, with others thinking why didn't I think of that.
I am about to go live with one of them but I have yet to secure financing.
I am here to help anyone free of charge, if I can I will but there are some items that have not had enough hours put into them in a way of personal investment and these will be declined.
Good Luck with whatever you decide to do but please play it safe and do not put yourself or others in danger.
I also suffer from a spinal cord condition called Syringomyelia which is debilitating, very painful and degenerates the functioning of the cerebral spinal fluid. My actions are somewhat subdued because I suffer paralysis shortly after picking up a tool.
I have undertaken the long process of setting up a community motorcycle workshop for the young people in my area. Being disabled has its advantages as well as many disadvantages. Many people I work with are supportive but there are those who do not understand my condition. Whilst I can shuffle my feet, I will try not to use aids like crutches or a wheelchair because then I have admitted defeat.
Well, since March 2009 I have been unable to walk and my life revolves around others helping me to get to places I used to take for granted not so long ago.
I am virtually housebound and some of that time is bedbound. The pain is too much too bear even with the use of Morphine.
As you can gather from this everything else has fallen by the wayside and I am left with just wishes of what I would like to do.
Enjoy your mobility whilst you have it.
