Highway Star

A film I made about Kenneth Smith.
Kenny was admitted to hospital with Guillain-Barré syndrome on Saturday, June 7, 2014 - having felt unwell for the previous few days. He then became paralysed from the eyes down over the course of a long weekend, spending the next three years in hospital - including two-and-a-half on a ventilator.
Having now regained his speech and later the use of his upper arms and neck muscles, the idea for the special Rocket III came in spring 2019, following a three-wheeled feature on The Motorbike Show with Henry Cole, and was built by Cardiff- based Trike Shop UK.
Delivered on September 8, 2019, the first ride took place on September 15 - with Kenny either taken out by bike riding mates Mark Craig and Johnny McGarrity, or his sons Kenneth and Peter.
