| Houghton doesn’t let life-changing injury stop him racing

| Isaac Elliott, one of the Territory's top sportsmen and first-time Finke hopeful, had his racing dreams dashed in a horror crash that has left him paralysed from the chest down.
Fear soon turned into unbridled courage as the 21-year-old planned what many labelled a "cazy"comeback.
He may be crazy but he proved an inspiration when only four months after the crash he returned to racing, becoming the first Australian and only the second paralysed rider in the world to ride competitively.

| To start off, racing motocross was my life plan since I could remember, honestly. There was one thing in my life that I wanted to do and it was to race professionally in front of thousands of people. Everything up until I was injured revolved around racing somehow. Motocross was a way for me to express myself and my determination, it kept me focused and out of trouble as well. I couldn’t believe that with one crash all that went away, or so I thought. |
| Farmer, pilot, inspirational speaker and best selling author. Sam's next goal is to become the first quadriplegic in the world to fly a helicopter. He is a C6/C7 quadriplegic, following a car accident in 1987 while jackarooing in the Northern Territory. He was only 19 years old and medical experts suggested his dream to be a farmer might now be too difficult. Despite that, he went home to the family farm and over the next ten years rebuilt his shattered life.

The adaptions made to motorcycles and trikes are as varied as the imagination will allow. |

| The MP3, made by the same company which produces the iconic Vespa, provides safety, road grip and stability levels that no other two-wheeler can match -- especially on uneven and wet surfaces. The MP3 takes on cobblestone streets, patchy asphalt and tram tracks with the greatest of ease, and is no wider than a comparable two-wheel maxi scooter.
It's a cinch to park. An electro-hydraulic tilt-locking system means there is no need to put the vehicle on its stand, although one is provided for ease of servicing. Simply flick the lean-locking button and apply the parking brake. The system will operate at any angle, so you don't need to find a level parking area.The MP3's three-disk braking system and exceptional road-holding capability combine to reduce braking distance by 20 percent compared to other scooters.

| "It all started with Eyal Yerushalmi's dream to return to racing. Yerushalmi, 41, was a professional motorcycle racer until an accident cut his career short. He was injured and permanently disabled while participating in the 1994 Pharos rally in Egypt. In the July 2002 SPORTS N SPOKES, read Netta Rotman and Shirly Kashi's story of Yerushalmi's journey from Israel to Mexico, from a dream to a team competing in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000". |
| McGovern has been into motorbikes ever since he and his friends began building lawnmower engines into their 1969 Stingray bicycles the rage of their day, with big banana seats and high handlebars. Since then, McGovern's interest in motorbikes has taken a natural progression from bicycles to dirt bikes, and from little Yamahas to the king of all, the Harley-Davidson. For DuPilka, it has been one of his many adaptive projects after sustaining a spinal-cord injury in a car accident in 1979. |
