Actually, during my enforced illness I kicked it straight and painted it silver and black and still got knocked off. Bloody thing was still purple underneath i reckon! Bastard bike! Chrome reverse cone megga, metalflake purple (no less) and i only bought it because it was cheap and had a stand... Goddam stand fell off and I rode over it on the ride home from purchasing it..... Evil I tells ya!

Probably doesn't hurt much (yet...) because all of the nerves have been severed. Trimming back the bone sounds really unpleasant

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
that's just naaaaasty!!!

but thanks for the gory pix!

<< pls excuse the pun,but it had to be done

Where's the pic of your nice clean chain??

**kickingzebra** · 5th May 2006, 13:54

Good stuff mate!! Was doing my chain last night with a brush, and even that scared me. Doesn't take much to get complacent, I've worked with factory workers who have chopped digits off (incorrect guards etc)
Hope she heals up OK!

eeeewww! This thread should come with a warning!

**SN4PD** · 5th May 2006, 18:01

Well I'm just outta theater, and all seems well

Bit of a grogy stomach though

**Zed** · 5th May 2006, 18:17

I'm glad i'm not eating my dinner looking at this thread, and *wow* even photos of you flat on your back in theatre lol!

Mate, just met ya last nite at Albany and rode home along the motorway with you, and within that space of time you've become thumbless!! At least you've got that laptop to keep you distracted...

I hope you don't suffer too much pain and that they make a nice tidy job of it all.

**crashe** · 5th May 2006, 19:16

wow awesome pic's mate...

they are soooooo cool.

Seriously you look after yourself.... and take those painkillers.

**R6_kid:Me** · 5th May 2006, 20:42

lol liam mate, are you really good at out of body experience and taking photos or did they let someone into the theatre while they were operating.

Just out of interest, do you now get a stump or are they reattaching nail etc?

**sedge** · 5th May 2006, 20:46

Just scanned the thumbnails on the way in to the thread... Thought it was a damaged man sausage for a sec

Heh heh... And maybe you'd been loving the bike a little too much.

Sedge.

Ouch. My finger looked like that after an unfortunate butchery accident (dont lend your mesh gloves to the newbie) Ive found that where the bone was poking out... it is now super sensitive, especially if i bump it.

Best of luck for speedy recovery and lets hope somone has lernt a lesson from your pain

I gave the O.R. strict instructions and a quick lesson on my digicam before they KO'd me

Pity It went flat halfway through....

I should have a sharpened stump

Have to check with the 'cheap suits' this morning; when I came out it was all bandaged up
