Riding in a sling..

[Winter]

So they've put my left arm in a sling, told me to keep it there for a week.

I've managed one day, but now i wanna go for a ride.

It doesn't hurt too much when i hold my arm in a standard riding position, and If i swallow some ibuprofen i should make it town town ok..

To ride, or not to ride! that is the question!

What did they put your arm in a sling for? Also not riding would be the better option, you may do damage that you are unaware of

[yungatart]

Wait! It is only one week!

Oh well.. guess your all right then.

What about the cage then? Its Manual :(

"Go for a ride" that's what you want to hear - even though you know it's likely you'll fall off and hurt yourself more. But hey, if it's what you wanna hear... GO FOR IT!!

No, I shouldn't have to justify sarcasm

If you've no insurance by all means ride/drive.

If you are insured the insurance company will just laugh at your claim (I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS crash when I've been told not to ride). Of course you could just go down the fraud route and claim that you weren't injured at the time of the accident, just afterward.

continue riding, builds character :D

Maaattte. You'll be right fella. It's just a little scratch. Harden the f'ck up and get on your bike.

Forget the sling. Chicks don't dig cripples, it'll simply cramp your style.

See if you can pull one handed wheelies or stoppies, that'll pull the birds.

Go hard. Go for a long ride right now.

If shit happens it's probably the doctors fault anyway for not giving you faster healing pills.

Riding with one arm is dangerous and shouldn't be considered.

When I broke my shoulder the test for me was whether I could emergency stop or not. Until I could push forward on the handlebars with full strength and bent elbows I stayed off the road.

I wouldn't risk making things worse if I was in your position.

Check out some motorcycle vlogs while you're laid up. Worked for me. Well kinda helped anyway.

Did it 2weeks after I got out of hospital after having my elbow rebuilt & was wearing a hinged cast and rode 40kms to a post-operation check-up/x-ray then rode home again :yes:

Wouldn't recommend doing it though :nono:

A dislocated is weak enough at 1st and will always be weak afterwards so you don't want to make it worse than it has to be.
