Don't get me wrong... I don't like them. But for a medical reason it's understandable. I don't like it when people buy them cause they THINK it's cool. Or "I don't want to be bothered to hold up the bike".

However, they are a big deal now a days. So you could get one, make one, or whatever and I don't believe you would have a problem with resale.

No injuries to my other leg and no broken bones. I think the left knee caved so easily because it had been weakened from my 2002 motorcycle accident. Mixed blessing; if it hadn't imploded, I may have broken bones and/or tore up the ligaments in my right knee, my ankles, hips, etc. At least this way I still have one "good" leg.

Wish my wife had taken photos right after impact. The joint was grotesquely misplaced.
Ouch...should have hired a professional.
