I thought that I must post this, in yellow group on the Sunday there was a guy riding an R1, very competently, but he only had one arm!!! Nothing from the shoulder on his left side.
At lunchtime I had a word with him, I suppose lots of people skate around the dissability. But I asked him about insurance etc. He said he has passed his test he was penalised at first but that became illegal, some companies just plain refused, but he pays the same as any able bodied now.
He lost his arm when he was 2 years old. He had clutch and brake indicators and throttle all on the right bar.
He rode damn well and was no slouch.
So when we feel a little down now and again it helps to think of others far worse off, we are not doing to bad in relative terms.
