Ya don't need surgery you big wuss!

Just head down to that hippy commune I was telling you about, they'll get the comfrey tea and sage smudges out for you - she'll be right.

Don't forget the healing crystals waved by the nubile nymphettes.

Mmmmm, organic carrots . . . .

(Private joke incase anyone is wondering what the f*ck that was all about!).

Heal quick, young'un.

Jan.

[Matt Bleck]

bummer dude! hopefully your bones heal faster than mine... 7 months on and it's still not right!

[crashe]

Good grief... I am so glad to hear that you are ok.....

Hope the operation goes well today...... and that they actually operate on the right thumb.

But with a few fine days coming up and you not being able to ride...... you didn't plan that too well now did you... hmmmmmm.

[vifferman]

Hope that they actually operate on the right thumb.

That's not very kind, crashe - then he'll have two (2) muntered thumbs!

[ManDownUnder]

Welcome to big bike ownership mate.

LMAO - ain't that the truth!

Good luck with surgery Dan. Bit of a bastard huh? Where's the bike? If it's still out that way you want me to collect/transport/shed it for you?

Time for a sing along to the big Suzuki song ...
Dan rides warily down the street,
But it feels just way too slow
A brand new bike that's sounding sweet,
His S-RAD's raring to go,
He's ready, hey, yeah he's ready for this,
He's hanging off the edge of his seat
Turning the corner - gives the throttle a blip,
And heads face first onto the street....

... yeaaahhh..

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Oh dear Dan! I was running past there about 5.15pm last night too...

Hope the surgery goes well dear...

[onearmedbandit]

Damn eh, not respecting the gixxer will bite ya.

[Sniper]

Fucken ouch. Sorry to hear dude.

Get well soon aye

[HDTboy]

Sorry to hear it man. That bike is the nicest bike I've had sideways on the gas, is it still on Dunlops?

[shafty]

I feel like a Desperate Housewife.

The Jandal giveth, and the Jandal taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Jandal.

I'll send one over. Don't high-side her!

[Grub]

Dan this has an uncomfortably familiar flavour to it.

Yes doesn't it. Sparky Bills has just posted today about how weak and useless his arm/shoulder are. I feel for him, Frosty and jrandom. I'm also getting very bored with not being fully right after a simple 'falling off'. Went to physio yesterday where she wanted to test the strength of my hands since both got damaged.

Left = 58kg ... Right = 16kg @! ( my brake hand it is too)

OMG how long is all this fixing going to take .... grrrrr

Good luck with the surgery jrandom ... and do the physio exercises as often as they tell you to

[SPman]

Ah..the old "too much throttle in second gear whilst turning, in the wet" trick, eh!

So, it'll be "thumbs up" to the learning curve then?

[_Gina_]

I was still considering whether I would let you ride my Repsol and you have to go and damage your thumb.
Obviously I can't let you ride it now, can I?

Heal well.

Result - one sideways SRAD, one jrandom highsiding through the air with the greatest of ease, and landing on his thumb, of all things.

Compound fracture of the proximal phalange of my left thumb, plus a crack across the base of the metacarpal. My thumb is now in eight pieces instead of three...

OUCH! Sounds nasty. Sucks to be broken.

Hope the operation goes well today...... and that they actually operate on the right thumb.

Wasn't it the left thumb?

Good luck with the op and the healing.
