Motorcycles, adaptive living, and the mindset that carries you forward.

Follow for daily motivation, real progress updates, and stories from the road. Prosthetic Roads is about regaining freedom, confidence, and purpose - one mile, one habit, and one choice at a time. I'm Don Casinger, a lifelong problem solver, leader, and rider who believes that even the toughest ro

ads can still lead to great adventures. After a below the knee amputation and more than 40 years living as a type 1 diabetic(something few people outside of my immediate family knew before now) I had to learn to walk, and live all over again. Now I share "roadmaps", stories, and lessons from the open road to help others move from setbacks to strengths. Whether you ride, rebuild,, or just won't give up, this page is your reminder that there's always a road forward and we're all capable of more than we believe!

January 1 doesn’t reset your life.
It just removes the excuse that “next year” is coming.

Whatever you’ve been waiting to start, fix, or finish —
this is the day the waiting ends.

A few months ago, I received a message that stopped me in my tracks.

My son Sean was at the Harley homecoming and shared my story with Gaylin Anderson - my amputation, my recovery, and learning to ride again on a Can-Am Spyder. Gaylin took a moment to record a short message for me. It brought tears to my eyes.

During recovery, when riding felt far away, I watched 2LaneLife religiously. Not for hype—but to stay connected to the joy of riding and to remind myself I’d be back. What mattered most wasn’t the video itself. It was that he knew my story and still spoke to me like a rider, not a spectator.

When I asked if I could share the message on Prosthetic Roads, Gaylin’s response said everything: if we can help even one person, the journey is worth it.

I’m back on the bike now. The joy is there. The curves feel natural again. Sean and I are planning a 12-day ride, and every mile feels earned.

This isn’t about big moments. It’s about the ones that remind you that you still belong out there.

I’m back on the road. I’m getting better every ride. And I fully intend to be in Milwaukee in 2027.

See you down the road.

Clarity beats intensity every time.

When people stall, it’s rarely because they lack effort.
It’s because they’re trying to move without a clear target.

A well-defined mission removes friction.
A simple plan removes hesitation.
And disciplined ex*****on turns intention into results.

You don’t need to solve everything today.
You need to know what matters most — and work that first.

Know the mission.
Work the plan.
Then protect it from distraction.

Reflection is useful—but progress comes from what you do next.

Monday is where intentions either turn into action or quietly fade away. Not because of motivation, but because discipline shows up again.

You don’t need a fresh plan every week. You need to return to the one that already matters, take the next step, and keep moving forward.

Know the mission. Work the plan. Then do the work.

New year, quick check-in.

I recorded a short video reflecting on where Prosthetic Roads is right now and where we’re headed next.

If there are topics you’d like me to cover, stories you’d like to hear, or things you think would make this better, I’d really like to hear from you—leave a comment and let me know.

I’ll also be sharing a short video from a New Year’s Day ride Sean and I took together next week. Looking forward to sharing that with you.

Progress rarely announces itself.
Most of the time, it shows up quietly — one small improvement at a time.

That’s why standards matter more than motivation.
Standards don’t care how you feel.
They ask if you showed up.

Consistency compounds faster than urgency ever will.

Momentum doesn’t come from dramatic starts.
It comes from showing up again after yesterday.

The calendar changed.
The work didn’t.

Plans don’t fail because they’re hard.
They fail because consistency breaks.

Protect your direction.
The rest will follow.

Every New Year’s Day, my son and I go for a ride.

Early morning.
Cold air.
Coffee and breakfast somewhere along the way.

We started this four years ago. That first year was the inaugural ride—the kind you remember because everything feels new.

The second year, I couldn’t ride at all.
The third year, I could ride, but not far. I was in the middle of recovery, still dealing with vision issues, and we turned back after less than a mile. I won’t ride if I’m not safe.

That’s what makes this year different.

Riding into a new year now carries more weight.
More gratitude.
More perspective.

It reminds me that progress isn’t just about getting back to where I started.
It’s about appreciating where I am now and who’s beside me on the road.

Some traditions you keep because they’re familiar.
Others you keep because they remind you what matters.

This one does both.

This time last year, my life looked very different than it does today.

I wasn’t riding.
I wasn’t writing.
And honestly, I wasn’t sure when—or if—I would again.

Most days were about recovery.
Learning how to do things again in a new way.

There were a lot of quiet moments this year.
Moments where progress didn’t seem obvious.
Moments where the only win was showing up and doing it again tomorrow.

Last week, I went for a ride to see my son at the Harley-Davidson dealer.
I’ve talked before about how braking was always in the back of my mind after the amputation. The Spyder brakes with your foot, and even after adding a hand brake, I still had to think about stopping.

About ten minutes into that ride, I realized something.

I wasn’t thinking about braking anymore.
My hand was just doing it—smoothly, naturally.
Slowing just enough. Coasting to the stop. No fear in the background.

And that’s when the smile hit me.
Because the joy was back.

What this year proved to me is that progress rarely comes in big, dramatic leaps.
It comes in small steps that don’t feel impressive at the time—but add up until one day you realize you’re doing the thing without thinking about it anymore.

I’m grateful for the people who were with me through that process.
And for those of you who’ve joined along the way, even recently, I really appreciate you being here too.

As this year comes to a close, I’m not focused on resolutions.
I’m focused on continuing the work—to make this my best life, and to help others navigate their own challenges.

This year didn’t just change my direction.
It changed me.

Who Am I?

Freedom Behind Bars is my own personal love letter to the motorcycle culture, a place to celebrate what has come before as well as nurture and cultivate what will come to pass. I believe in carrying forward the classic biker attributes of freedom, self-reliance and a deep love for the open road.

Regardless of what you ride, whether you ride in a club or solo, if you prefer short trips across town or long journeys across the nation, my goal is to provide something for you here, both on the page as well as at my website, FreedomBehindBars.com. I’m always on the lookout for new places, new faces and just new experiences in general that can be attained from the back of a motorcycle.

If you’ve been riding for years and you feel your experience can contribute to this cause, please feel free to reach out to me here or my email. If you are just starting out on your journey as a rider, or are curious how to do so, don’t hesitate to let me know. The only way this amazing culture will carry forward is by bringing new blood into the mix.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me. I look forward to seeing you all out on the open road.
