Given that there is a LH pedal and jockey/suicide shift I'd guess he's running the clutch off the pedal. Not disabled, just different.

Thanks LJ, though I admit the apologies weren't for you,simply because I had to backpedal too fast keeping up with B-Bill, *beer*but you probably need to be offended anyway for that little 'faux paux', (you know that what the french people say when they farque oupe-can't call them 'froggaroos' lest I offend  *fight*) *beer*, and I must apologise for mis-spelling 'offence' with an's'!!- more- *beer*
  Cyclobutch, yup I agree with you and my dyslexia must've set in 'cos I got it in my head that the gear shift was on the right side>>how you say that LJ-Doooh??  But while I was just out feeding my face, I had a notion that would fit in with a 'slick-shift' off that other Meridan marques-but not so..  Anyway you can clearly see in the second and last 3 pics a pedal that appears to be attached to a cable- clutch ? Fairly much eliminates any(most known) forms of physical 'disability'(I didn't start that) , Looks like he's utilised an ex-Swing arm mount for the shifter??
     I'm a bit curious though, about that interesting looking rear sprocket??
 As far as the colour goes, when I get to go play at my usual place of 'vocational entertainment'..(aka job/work)I get to play with big toys that are painted about the same colour green, but I must have become immune(brain-dead) to it!!!! ..must away, and see if Earl Grey really does get head like that? ..uhoh
  Tombeau, ...eyes ok??

PS I'm not sure if I ever got to do that 'Introduction thing, as my IP connection thing went faecal when I was doing it and'm not sure what happened, so, in case of that -um howdy fer now,and back to more Earl Grey (who'm I kiddin'?)cheers,duTch

No need to back pedal to keep up with me Dutch (more like walk backwards), the disabled bit was me jumping to high to a conclusion more fitting If I'd said built to suit the riders needs or fancy.
Nothing wrong with Earl Grey mind, although my pinky get tired being stuck up in the air like that
