Need to find or design a right handed brake for him!
I have wished that I had one on my sled a few times!
Ever git in one of them wrong sided sidehill decents where you know if you reach over there for the brake that it will roll?
Had that a time'r two up north, as well as once in Lincoln. Came down the wrong part and it was right handed downhill in pretty set-up snow. I was able to just reach the brake and git it stopped, but not by much!
Thought about making them, but I doubt they would sell...
I guess a simple "remote" set-up like the Goldfinger throttle will work if nothing else...
Kind'a gota wonder if the new reality hasn't quite hit home with your chumm?
Man - it sounds like a gut wrenching issue of life change to me.
Maybe he will be stronger, faster, smarter, and better looking than he was before?![Face Icon Small Wink :face-icon-small-win :face-icon-small-win](https://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/old/face-icon-small-wink.gif)
No - I was not kidding about wondering if the tether could be too long. I guess if you did have it hooked around your wrist like was mentioned - you would likely not have it too long, and your right hand shouldn't be going too far if you are still in semi control of things. So I guess that sounds good.
I was thinking _ having it attached to the coat and the slack that would be needed for that to work. I figger my luck would have me wiping out and ripping my coat all up and now with my machine all messed up I am stuck out in the bush for a cpl days with a ripped coat. Swelll... (Stayed in the bush a few nights already) Or be trying to navigate a sidehill and need to hold that edge or else (Seems like that was in White Out and Wide Open (or other?) recently?) and end up tangled and kill the motor when you REALLY wish it not to. Or even bouncing around while climbing a tree laden hill...
Then CG adds her $.02.
When you wunna git into fluke accidents, you can be on either side of it. One guy (or Gal - excuse me) git's into trouble b/c he did one thing, and another guy gits into trouble b/c he didn't doo the very same thing. To be safe - it's better to stay on the couch and watch Lucy...
I'd like to be a fly on the wall with each of you a yr from now to see if you are still wearing your tether with your renewed scare, or if you resorted back to our old ways of negligence.![Drum :drum: :drum:](https://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/new2010/drum.gif)
Again - sure hope your chumm comes out good on the other end of this!![Face Icon Small Happy :face-icon-small-hap :face-icon-small-hap](https://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/old/face-icon-small-happy.gif)
