Title: Crutches that that can be carried on motorcycle
Post by: 07CVO.RK on July 19, 2012, 10:17:56 AM

Does anyone know where I could find a set of crutches that can be "collapsed" and easily carried on top of a tour pak? My friends wife broke her foot and needs crutches and we are leaving on a trip in 12 days. Thanks for any help.

My guess but a collapsable crutch is not a widespread item since most people put weight on a crutch and the manufacturer would worry about lawsuits. Many crutches have adjustments where the bottom moves up or down and that may help you some?
Other option would be an adjustable cane or walking stick.. with that you could use a PVC tube hose-clamped to a saddlebag guard or other bar.I guess you could bungee cord the cane to the bike also.
