1920's Wheelchair Sidecar

04-18-2011, 09:51 AM

I can not remember who and when a person around the 1920's had converted his Harley and sidecar for use with his wheelchair. From what I remember he was driving around the country and also had his dog with him. Is there any information on the web about him and his travels?

I'm assuming you're thinking of this postcard. Sorry no name ... Perry

Yes, that was exactly who I was trying to remember. I did not know that he also had 1 arm. Thanks.

I don’t find a book, but one piece in Popular Mechanics and he is mentioned in a chain ad.

Well he's only got one arm and a small dog...so that kinda limits his abilities.
