Army veteran hopes to become first one-armed biker to ride Isle of Man TT

An army veteran who lost his left arm in a horrific motorbike accident is hoping to make history by competing in one of the deadliest races in the world. Former lance corporal Chris Ganley, 28, wants to become the first ever one-armed biker to race in the Isle of Man TT - nine years after his arm was severed when he crashed into a brick wall. Chris, from Clevedon, North Somerset, also suffered a bleed on the brain, punctured lung and a broken back in the collision, and was medically discharged from the military after serving two tours of Afghanistan. His life was changed in 2014 when he hit a lamppost and careered into a brick wall outside Nailsea fire station in North Somerset.
