Item PH26765 - Jerry gets his wheels

"Legless almost since birth, Jerry Hiscock of Alcona Beach will be able to get around fairly well this Christmas. The Innisfil Lions Club and Canadian Honda Motor Limited have refurbished his three-wheel all-terrain vehicle. The 17-year-old student jumped on the vehicle on Saturday and showed his driving skill on the ice and snow near his home. Lions spokesman Harold Keiser said his club bought the Honda in 1973 and it was maintained regularly by member Joe Hornung. But it was worn out by July of this year. Honda agreed to fix the machine at no cost. "It cost the company more money to repair the bike than it would have to replace it, but it would have had to be a bigger model," said Ron Rogers, Honda representative and resident of Innisfil. As for Jerry, he has his sights on a job as an auto mechanic's apprentice. And if brake lights and a horn are added to the vehicle, he hopes to obtain a motorcycle licence."
