    Kinda like buy now pay later when you think about it.... Get the stuff happening immediately and think about the bad part later
    Sounds like what my visa card is going to be for.. Get the fairing fixed, and my helmet replaced now, and deal with the pain later..

    Oh well, it was a 5 year old hand me down helmet anyway.. Should be ok for a pillion though right??

    Do everything they tell you to do to heal it. Soft tissue injuries have much greater implications in the long term than broken bones. Ignore the comment about it being "minor", as one weakened ligament can create a cascade of secondary issues that will mean loss of function or weakness in the future.

    Cheers Jim2, The A+E doc I saw was pretty positive about it not being a really serious injury, though I'm pretty keen on the whole being able to walk thing, so I'll be taking their advice on the matter.

    My Sidi dry road boots have protection for the heel / toe / ankle / shin, but don't have any real bracing to keep the ankle from twisting, so I'm trying to think of some way to whore myself off so I can buy some Sidi / Alpinestars race boots..

    On ya bud. I ruptured my anterior talofibular ligament about 12 years ago playing paintball, and rode my bike home Had to change gear by lifting my whole leg up and down as my ankle wouldn't flex. It then swelled up so bad I had to cut my boot off. Ended up in a cast for 6 weeks, strapped for a further 8, and then had to do physio of 3 months after that. It gives me a bit of grief from time to time if I try to run with out stretching or warming up first.
