Wheelchair Motorcycle The Conquest

I know the description of the ad, can anybody tell me the link if they know about it. i'll b really thankful.
The ad is like this,
there is a man sitting in the car, then a person comes in motorbike, he sees the car guy and gets upset, then a guy on cycle comes, he sees the motorbike and dreams for that, than a person who doesnt have legs comes on a wheelchair. he gives a smile to the one who is in cycle and then everybody else smiles.

Plzzzzz tell me the link of this ad if anyone knows it...Its really imp for me.


Sorry I wish I could help.

january '08 i had a motorbike accident broke my back and became a paraplegic....?
Wheelchair Motorcycle For Disabled Riders

before then i had no probs attracting women however that is now the exact opposite.when i ask women to their faces if being in a wheelchair matters they all ways say no it doesn't but my (total lack of)success says otherwise.
i am writing this post to find out why women wont go out with a bloke in a wheelchair I AM NOT REPEAT NOT LOOKING FOR PITY
i have my own ideas about why this may be they are
1- sex, peope enjoy sex but don't allways like to talk about it women in particular i find don't like to talk openly about sex. there is a perception that paraplegics can't have sex yes i can but i need drugs to get an erection.
2- people think being paraplegic means i am dependent/ in need of care i'm now as independent as i was before my accident i work full time i drive using hand controls i have my own home i push my self around allways however womenn seem to see/treat me more like an oversize boy than a man ie i get lots of offers of help with getting dressed feeding etc which i've never asked for but when i ask them out they're allways 'washing their hair' etc
3- vanity ie keeping up with the joneses. do some women simply not want to be seen with a bloke in a wheelchair in the same way that they don't want to be seen driving an old car or don't want their mates to see that they've got an old ktchen?
the way i see it nothings changed i've had an accident and that's that-s~~t happens before if i wanted to get from a to b i stood up and moved my legs no i sit down and move my arms so what?
i cannot emphasise enough i am making this post to obtain information not sympathy so please be honest in your replies
in particular i would like women who wont go out with men in wheelchairs to reply and tell me honestly why? don't bother about causing offence just be honest.
is my problem one of mis perception ie you think i can't have sex and need looking after or is it simply that you don't want to go out with a man in a chair because you no longer see him as a man?

please don't send words of sympathy/encoragement like 'i'm sure you'll find someone special who loves you for whay you are'
just tell me straight girls would YOU not someone else YOU go out with a paraplegic man?
if not why not?


You in a wheelchair honestly wouldn't bother me if you were the kind of guy I was attracted to. You know funny, caring, someone I would enjoy being around, and obviously I would have to be attracted to you (it simply wouldn't work otherwise), and I can 100% tell you a wheelchair wouldn't turn me off.
My last comment is DON"T become that guy with the chip on his shoulder. This happens to guys all the time in wheelchairs or not. They get this whole attitude like "She won't be into me, Im a nice guy, girls never go for nice guys" or "why would she like me when she could have him." Its a real turn off when guys play those cards.
Be confident and I know you didn't want to hear it BUT there will be girls out there that won't give a s*** about you being a paraplegic, Im one of them an there will be more out there!

Okay, you aked for it straight...no, I wouldn't, sorry. If that makes me shallow in your eyes then I can't change that. I like to have common interests with my boyfriend. We both run long distance and both go to the gym ( although not always together) If my boyfiend had an accident, I would not leave but I would not see a future with a new partner who has an existing disability.

losing weight when you cant move about?
Great Manchester Run 2011

I am 66 and diabetic. I have been overweight every day of my life (weighed 10lbs at birth) I dont eat bread, cakes or sweets, I am a vegetarian (hate salad!!!) Since I was 14 I have had arthritis in my spine and hips, and am not very mobile without an electric scooter and a converted motorbike. I went to see a consultant recently about having a metal section fitted in my spine, and he said that before he could do the op I needed to lose 6 stones (I weigh 15 st. 5 lbs) and that I had to take lots of nice brisk walks, go to dancing classes and take keep-fit classes!!!!!!! As I was in his office in a wheelchair, which has to be propelled by a friend, I was both grossly insulted and very humiliated. I am lucky if I am able to leave my house more than twice a week, and then have to use an electricscooter. I have lost weight over the last years, 2 stones, through being unable to eat (I feel sick all the time). Any ideas out there??? I am becoming very depressed.


Get started within your limits. If you don't mobilise much, then even walking round the house regularly will be a start, start doing it four times a day, and increase over a couple of weeks to doing it ten times a day - once every hour that you're awake.
Start doing arm exercises every half hour in the chair - enough to make you a little breathless.
Get a little pedal exerciser (teletrimmer) and start doing 5 minutes each day, increasing to 15 minutes each day after two or three weeks, and then to 20 minutes, and then half an hour.
Progress your walking to twice round the house at a time, or take your scooter to your nearest supermarket, and start walking round the shop floor - it will have an even surface and you can use a shopping trolley for support. Easy to do in any weather.
Arthritis in your spine and hips is no reason not to exercise - talk to your GP re getting adequate pain cover to enable you to do this.
Start a bed exercise programme - bending and straightening each leg, 10 times with each to start and increase from there.

If your consultant told you to do all those things, in a way that's a good thing - obviously there's no structural reason not to exercise a little every day.

Attitude is a huge factor - if you're used to branding yourself as immobile or chronically sick, then you will unfortunately tend to react to most suggestions for change with "I can't do that"....for whatever reason. The biggest challenge is to change that "I can't" into "How" and "I WILL".

Another option to investigate is getting into your local swimming pool three or four times a week and start doing lengths. A very safe form of exercise.

It sounds like your activity levels are pretty non-existent. You will have to work really hard to motivate yourself to start doing more. Have a look at calorie expenditure tables - they're a good way to pat yourself on the back for doing even normal daily activities - at least you're burning some calories.

Bear in mind that although you say you don't eat sweet stuff, you could still be overeating very much - you don't need a lot of fuel when you're burning very little. SMALL portions of nutritious food is what you need. If most things you eat tend to be fried or battered or have lots of butter on, you're in trouble straight away.

Good luck - there's no easy way out. A gastric band would only go so far, and my guess is that they would be very reluctant to go that route with you given your history.

Make a start - that's the most important thing, and bolster yourself as much as you can to change your outlook.

what is one thing u wish u could get/do but can't and whats the reason u can't?
Hey! Wait for Me! (Shanghai)

Japan Unveils New “Motorbike” Style Wheelchair « THE B.S. REPORT

On Wednesday unveiled the prototype of a new hi-tech electric wheelchair that resembles a scooter and promises greater mobility.Users ride astride the four-wheeled Rodem — rather than sitting in it, as in a conventional wheelchair — steer it with a joystick and hold onto motorbike-style handles while the knees and chest rest on cushions.

“With this vehicle, users can move around more freely and more actively without much help from other people.”

It is the first invention unveiled by the Veda centre, which opened in May in southwestern Munakata city and is a joint project of Japanese robot maker Tmsuk Co. and researchers from 10 universities and institutes.
