Hundreds of veterans and their motorcycles rode cross-country journey for the annual "Run for the Wall" in May. Michael Donahue of Rancho Cucamonga, CA was a part of that group and so was his Mobility Conquest wheelchair accessible motorcycle.
Michael Donahue, now 55, began riding began riding motorcycles when he was 16 years old. Thirty years ago, Donahue was a military policeman in Virginia Beach and was accidentally shot. The injury left him paralyzed from the waist down. Like so many other injured motorcycle enthusiasts, he was certain he would never ride again.
However, last year, the freedom of the open road was once again an option for Donahue. Donahue purchased The Conquest after finding the wheelchair accessible motorcycle while surfing the web one day. Donahue had been searching for a viable option for over 27 years and has now found the one motorcycle that will let him enjoy the freedom that the motorcycle offers.
Donahue left for a crossing country trek from him home in Rancho Cucamonga with his new set of wheels as he took part in the annual motorcycle ride “Run For the Wall,” that ended in Washington, D.C. The ride rose awareness for the veterans and those that are missing in action.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the ride,” Donahue said. “I liked it so much that I am eagerly anticipating next year.”
One aspect Donahue is looking forward to is the added cargo space in the bike. “There’s going to be a lot of added cargo space in the bike next year so I won’t have to carry it with me,” Donahue said.
Mark Allen Roberts, president of Mobility Works, said that many of their customers tell him they never thought they would be able to ride again. "It's hard to explain what it's like watching people's faces change when you give them new hope," he said. Roberts said.
