Just remember, while today is a little tough, in a year everything will be completely different and the world will still be turning. Today, a year may feel like a while, but in the overall scheme of things a year is just a piss in the bucket. You will be fine.

Thanks for the lesson for us though. Your post passed on to my learner kid.

Sorry to hear about your woes. Bummer.
Hey, you still have all of us,

your KB family.

Being immobile and having to pop pain killers doesn't sound too good so I hope you have a stack of DVD movies or a PS3 or something to keep you busy when you get tired of KB...

BTW thanks for your post as it reminds me of two things: Got to ring the insurance guy again to get my Strom insured, and I must wear my back protector more often (went for group ride yesterday but did not wear it).

Oh dear... heal soon!

**OutForADuck** · 27th November 2008, 08:55

Heal soon and remember shit happens. Good to hear you still have use of it all... Lucky in that sort of a unlucky way.

Been there (still there). Broke c4 & 5 and T4 & 5.

I know what Karla is saying, but my advice is to ignore the cheery bastards (sorry karla) who try to push you to achieve and figure out what your own body is telling you and how best to react to that.

Postive affirmations can set you up for a huge sense of failure and you have to expunge all thoughts of any expectations in the short term, including I'm afraid, riding a bike. If you've avoided nerve damage of any sort, you'll be sweet. If you haven't you won't know until the fracture is healed and the inflammation has settled.

Day by day. Be happy being you, and don't burden your ego with labels, like motorcyclist, musician, son, worker, or anything else that you feel defines your being.

My most fervent hope for you is that it just heals and you go back to things how they were.

Sounds like a sucky time matey. I can only empathise. You sure it's a good idea buying a GSX-R with no insurance, and no license though?

How much you after for the Hyosung?

Bugger!
Take it easy bud, better to be cautious than in too much of a rush to get going again!
take care and heal well.

alot of good advise guys i really appreciate it. not sure what i want for the bike.... looking at fixing it and then selling it so i dont loose too much money..... just want to b back on the road again with all thats happening. seems like the only way i can let go of it all for a while.....

A ride a day keeps the suicide away

Dude that sucks.

Think a back protector would have stopped your back from breaking? I wear mine on the open road and have considered it for the daily commute as well.
