Yes, moving to Illinois might seem terrible for a disabled rider, because of the permit rules. In MO I can ride all over the State on a permit- just no passengers and ride in daylight hours. In IL I can only ride in daylight hours and no passengers, but also need to be riding with a licensed rider age 21 with a year under his belt. What the ..... Don't even know anyone from IL that would ride with a Chinese 250cc scooter rider..lol..
But I noticed they give accommodations to disabled riders.. I don't know what the accommodations are, so I wrote a email to the University of Illinois, explaining my condition and asked what they could do for me to accommodate me. Told them I suffered a severe stroke at age 16, in 1981. In 1993 bought my first 49cc scooter and in 2008 bought my first 250cc scooter. That I have been riding mostly highways and have 6800 miles on it today. Told him been riding for about 20 years and never had an accident. Don't actually feel comfortable on someone elses motorcycle and prefer riding my own 250cc scooter. That my right hand sometime can grab the front brake and sometimes not( if cold out hand tends to close up some and if try opening and closing repetitively well can't). Mostly use the rear brake and sometimes the front. But adjust speed to not be to close to the driver in front of me, keep a even pace so cars don't gain on me too. Wear protective gear.. Use mirrors a lot..
But hopefully I hear back on how they can accommodate me.
