'Hunch' for short.....

Really - they don't strap it into position?! How can that be right, how can it heal?

Hang up the bikini mate, your inner beauty shines through. Always impressed with your devotion to your kids. Hope you're not thinking about giving up riding just yet though.

Edit: Surely they must be able to do something for it. Eg. Recent pics of Burga after surgery, now has matching collarbone scars both sides - good symmetry for modelling.

Cheers, won't stop riding while I'm still warm.....

Seeing the people who should know what to do next week.....

PS, the bikini top never sat quite right anyway...

Hey dude, top marks for maintaining a pleasant attitude if the face of such obvious discomfort. Great girls you have there, was most impressed with the way they got on and loaded the trailor etc. Good company on the way home too. Hope to see you guys out there again soon

….

I know how you feel Phil , when I came off my bike in rotorua , went to hospital to get my thumb sewn back on ( went thru front spokes as I flew over the bars ) ... my 12 y/o son stayed with the mates ... rode saturday and sunday ... didnt come to hospital , the wife came down on sunday to see if he was okay ( ohh and to drive me home ) ... lol

In a way, being taken for granted means you're doing a good job as a dad - you're reliable. Kids will likely appreciate you a lot more as they get older.

I think blokes are often a victim of their own culture especially with pain/injury ie, shoulder the burden without complaint and battle on. Sympathy not much use, but a bit of Empathy often goes down well. We feel your pain bro's.

Get well soon buddy.

Just in case you missed a couple in the last roundup, here's some new signage for the MX track....

Amazed how fast I'm healing...

My plan during alligator attack was make plenty of noise. Will now practice noise so's not to sound like orgasm though. Could get arrested, think there are laws about this.

Glad you're coming right climintie. How do they get that back into correct position?

They don't..... The xray is taken while holding 5l of water in a bottle. It's much closer without the weight pulling everything apart. Prognosis is good.....Nothing broken, the collar bone and the AC joint are only held by ligaments (well, other peoples are anyway...)
The more I ride, the more interesting stuff I learn about my body...

Still waiting for hospital follow up appointment.....
