Riding injured

[Brownbikerbabe]

Has anyone ridden a motorcycle during/ after an injury? I have tendonitis and I am just wondering if you would recommend riding when you have a sore shoulder. I have been invited to go ski-dooing with friends, I want to go but I dont' want to injure my shoulder further :crazy:with trying to handle a ski-doo. I know its not the same as a motorcycle, but almost the same concept.

i Wish i could ride injured!

cast up to my shoulder currently making it a bit difficult :cry:

I rode my bike home after coming off on the way to Cold Duck a couple of years ago.

My only injury was my shoulder. I had to lift my arm onto the bars (was ok once there). All the way home, every bump in the road (and there are heaps between Waipawa and Taupo) was agony.

Unless you want to do further injury I wouldn't recommend it. I suffered for weeks after and it is still not completely healed. You might be better to not do things for a little while and let it heal rather than do more damage.

Good luck

.......was agony.

Alright stop...you had me at Agony!...ski-dooing trip not gonna happen.

Theblackstig~I feel your pain! Believe me!

Always ride injured as my left arm is medically considered to be permanently fractured & dislocated

[onearmedbandit]

Errr...well, ski-dooing only happens when it snows in Canada and I wanted to go....GrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrr Snarl.....GrrrrrrrRRRRRR is this because I thought that black bacon thingy in the other post was NZ toast?

WOW! Really? You are my new hero!

[onearmedbandit]

Yep, I gather you're a nurse so you might have some idea, brachial plexus avulsion of C5 through to and including T1, with a dash of Horners Syndrome to add to the mix.

Is'nt that 9 months of the year? :whistle:

[PrincessBandit]

I rode with a broken collarbone for 6 months but that was still only after a couple of months downtime immediately after my crash. Initial short rides were ok but longer ones were agony - after the cortisone injection I was away laughing though!
Had surgery to plate it at beginning of Dec and have been back in the saddle most days basically from 3 weeks after that.

Actually not this year! Surprisingly, all our snow went to Europe and who knows where else, we are in a snow drought....so no we have no snow where I live! Skidoo trip is in Quebec!

This year we are hosting the Winter Olympics in B.C and we have NO SNOW!

Stage fright? Must be something to do with that weird bacon........:dodge::girlfight::bleh:

[YellowDog]

If you can ride without discomfort, the you should give it a go.

But if you come off, you may well create something far more serious so I would advise against.

Good luck.

Rode my bike with a damaged AC joint. Had to lift my right arm up to the handlebar but once there I could operate the right hand controls OK.

Wasnt too bad on the shoulder.

Rode this way for 2 months.

I'm kinda trying to avoid all that...cortisone and surgery stuff.

Weird bacon eh? I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Thanks, I figured all that vibrating will only make my bicep tendon unhappy.

Yep!

I ride with memory loss.... always riding new roads!

[Toaster]

As far as riding injured goes, it's up to you if you take the risk of further or re-injury. If its safe to ride, then why not? There is always risks in riding, but that shouldn't stop you. Its whether injuries create an adverse safety issue.

In NZ you can face a careless driving charge for driving while injured (e.g. wearing a leg cast... yes it's been done)... depending of course of the specific circumstances involved.

Yep!

I ride with memory loss.... always riding new roads!
So long as you remember what side of the road you are supposed to be on!
Hmmm I'll remember that next time Im riding with you....

[FROSTY]

Its simple--he rides on HIS bitof the road. Gee taint HARD :-)

Best get in front and stay there.

[Brownbikerbabe]

What side of the road do you drive on in NZ? I thought it was the right side.

[Bounce001]

My side is always right!

[varminter]

What side of the road do you drive on in NZ? I thought it was the right side.

No, we drive/ride on the correct side..the left...sometimes.

[Brownbikerbabe]

No, we drive/ride on the correct side..the left...sometimes.

Then what side do you walk on?

[sels1]

Then what side do you walk on?
the sidewalk?
Either side.....and sometimes the middle! :)

[Brownbikerbabe]

ROFL.....I was waiting to see who would have taken the bait....and what kind of response I would have gotten by throwing that question out there. Thanks for the chuckle.
