That's all bollocks.
Docs have been telling me for yonks that my scaphoids won't heal unless I stop riding for a while. You get used to the pain when braking and using the clutch after a while... and what's a bit of arthritis between friends...
One silly doctor put my leg in a cast from ankle to hip when I snapped my medial collateral ligament. That didn't stop me - I just had to ride everywhere in second.
Just take it easy putting the helmet on for a while mate.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
