Your know getting withdrawl symptoms when..

[Mr Skid]

Oh dear. I am a sad bastard.

Three weeks without being able to ride is getting to me.

I found myself in Stages playing Sega Manx TT. Not a bad game, but it made some rather sickly noises when I was hanging off the bike trying to get my knee on the ground.

I had to stop myself from trying to tuck in under the nonexistent fairings on the game.

I even tried to challenge school children to a head to head battle.

Please someone, take pity on me and take me for a ride on your bike. Please please please please.

I think now is the time to turn up at all the bike shops for Test Rides.

I should probably mention that I've got my right wrist in a brace and am missing around about 20 degrees of movement in the wide open throttle direction, and have bugger all movement for turning the bars.

Good enough for crappy arcade games, but not quite sufficent for the real thing.

Ah, right.

Yer buggered then.

And how do we stop you falling off the back and breaking your other wrist, or your head, with one wing incapacitated? Duct-tape you on the seat?

[Mr Skid]

Ah, right.

Yer buggered then.

Pretty much.

I also should straighten the subframe, instruments and mirrors brackets before I get my 250 million cc beast back on the road.

I worked out that I managed to low side it, then high side it in the crash. Wahoo! Two crashes for the price of one!

I've got strength back in my fingers, so I can hold on, I just cant do a dreadfully good job of articulating the wrist joint. But I wouldn't complain if you wanted to duct-tape me to the seat of your bike. As long as it didn't get tired and decide to lie down and have a sleep on the road with me attached.

How long before your wrist is back in action?

Not sure. It's been three weeks since my last corner, and initially I was being treated for a scaphoid fracture and ulnar styloid process fracture (broke some of the knobly bit off the end of the small bone in my forearm)

The orthopedic specialist thinks think it's still broken, but the xrays don't show a definite break, or calcification that would occur at the point of the break.

Getting some physio to get the hand mobile currently, and will get a third set of xrays next Monday to see if they show anything different..

The ankle is progressing nicely, and I'm sure I'm over the concussion - my dopeness/confusion is within accepted parameters at the moment.

Just remember kids, listen to uncle Paparazzi when he says not to wear crap helmets. (bin was a good excuse to get a nice shiney HJC though)

No pillion seat/pegs on the GIXXER and TZR hardly pulls my own weight.

Mate, that sounds a bit worse than you made it sound at first...
hope you can get the arm working well and ride your bike soon... i'm sure CBRs hate being parked up!

[Drunken Monkey]

*Phwoar*...didn't realise you got busted up so bad back then Pap'...

As for withdrawal, I used to allow my self to get baited into KB forum arguments...I'm not so bad these days.

I'll give you a race on Manx. My flatmates were having giggles watching me knee down then full speed into the walls. It's wierd, the first time I played a motorcycle spacies machine since I started riding. Even more not like riding than those car games are unlike driving (does that make sense?). Kept trying to counter-steer the fucken thing, only the bars don't move!!!!

Maybe an idea for the (already fizzled and died again) Auckland KB'ers once a month meet...

Oh yeah, and get well soon

[jazbug5]

Oh no!

Didn't realise you'd had a spectacular off!
(When you've figured out how you managed both sides, please let us know..!) So: typically you should be out of plaster in 3 weeks.
I know this sounds like the ravings of a foolish hippy, but tincture of Comfrey (ask your herbalist and get the right dosage, too) helps your bones to knit better/faster. Plus a calcium/magnesium complex; there are good ones for people with crappy bones. I've done my scaphoid twice: it's no fun at all- make sure you get the right physio, too- it's really easy to end up with a weakened wrist. And we wouldn't want that, now would we... especially not your right wrist; so important for throttling and...er... other stuff...

Last time I saw the TZR in action it was pulling pretty darn well!

Anyway, I'm sure I'd fall off the back of anything you were in charge of.

when i broke my scaphoid it never recovered,
it has blood supply from one end
in the end they took out the whole proximal
row of bones.. lost a bit of grip though
not being negative though when i broke mine
i broke a lot more bones in my wrist
