bummer DD

Be patient with the thumb thing, I damaged mine a little while ago and it still gets a bit stiff when I ride for a distance....
The doctor recommended not riding for a small while and in the end I found that I had to follow the advice to heal it up....

Sorry to hear about your Bin Disco Dan! Glad to know that your ok

Dont worry about fixing the cosmetics, as you are still learning. As long as you fix the structural part of the bike then it's ok.

I mean look at my fairings...missing parts, cracked, scratched.

But mechanicially it's sweet as

Best thing you did was get back on and ride. You were lucky it was just your thumb you damaged and not the rest of your body.

Good luck on the healing process for both your bike and thumb *hugz*
