Oh hell

Being a fellow CBR owner my sympathy goes out to you. All the best and hope the wrist heals soon.

Bugger! Rest up and you'll be back out there soon enough-well, when the doc says you can anyway.

Bugger i would be gutterd to like i was on a mates bike a while ago and he didnt put the pads in properly and they fell out and locked the front wheel that hurt to so look forward to ya next ride and how much fun that will be. keep it up

It seems club 250 is shrinking at a bad rate

It happens to the best of us but the best thing you can do is get back on the bike! Take it as a hard-earned lesson (and for sure you won't forget about roadworks ever again!) and be thankful that you are here to tell the story.

Not to mention a fear of capitalisation, punctuation and spelling.

geez give him a break already, he just came off his bike.

hey upon1, good to hear you're not too hurt (you know, more broken bones etc).

I'm not a big fan of the old stone chips either, once binned a sj50 on loose stones which wasn't too pretty.

Rest up, good luck with the insurance.

Welcome to the "came off and broke something" fraternity. I hope you're back riding again soon.

**Scorpygirl** · 24th January 2006, 18:23

Not good to hear mate.

Hope you heal up really soon and are able to get back out there!!!

**upon1** · 24th January 2006, 18:51

thanx for your support guyz.. i hope to be back on the road in 6 - 8 weeks.
just cant wait and cant imagine how much fun it would be to get bak on 2 wheels.

**Pathos** · 24th January 2006, 22:40

I feel for you mate. I've had a couple of off's and the worst I've had is a scratched knee.

I had to wait a month for the insurance verdict to come through for my bike and it was agony.

make sure that wrist is strong before putting too much work on it tho. straight out of the cast is when its most likely to break again.

oh is it the left or right...if its the left I might risk a little riding myself because the cast should take any strain on the wrist.
