    will young man you have done a good number on that there ankle...... but it is well time to harden up an start walking on it to get that joint working again. just a word of warning when you start physio and they start forcing your ankle joint to move.......OUCH!!!!!

    Had to laugh when i saw the xray as i have an IDENTICAL one of my right ankle. Follow the rehab rules and you'll be good as a new. The kankle throb is a real pain, and when you drink beer watch it grow!!!!

    They told me 6 months aswell, i was back at work 9 weeks later on lite duties an that was when i still swung a hammer.... ACC just don't cut it.

    be good an heal well bro

    Well I finally got all the bits apart from a front break lever for my bike threw it all together on tuesday fired her up and took it for a pootle to the end of Deans street and back, being very carefull as I learnt my leason from riding my 750 with no breaks (that didnt end well at all).

    Cut a long story short I dont yet have strength in my ankle to change up gears so will reverse the shift pattern and hope to be in a psition to do the winter series (against doctors orders).

    felt really good to get back on the horse for the first time in over 2 months.
    Thats my story stay tuned for more.
    Cheers peeps.

    Ok, so I just met with the hemotologist (blood clot in leg) and have been informed that I am not to ride my bike and deffinatly not to race as if I have an accident and bump my head I am alot more likely to have a brain hemorage(not spelt right but who cares) than the average joe due to the medication im on. So no riding/racing for the next 5 to 6 months

    So I finally got the last bits for the bike yesterday, a set of sexy new rearset's chucked them on and the temptation was just to much I had to get back on the horse, Rode her in to town and all is good.
    was the most nervous I have ever been riding down maungaraki hill. There is a god 4 inches of chicken strips on both sides of both tyres.
    One thing that has to be said though is, Fuck its fast. I kind of forgot how much of a weapon it really is.
    5 months and 3 weeks to the day and I am allowed to race it.
    but whos counting any way.

    Really good, heaps of adjustment. Only problem is they dont have a bracket for the rear brake light switch. Not a problem tough as long as you apply the front first, which almost every body does. A really good price to, cheaper than buying one foot peg hanger from a dealer.

    You could do that but there is alot of holes in them that all have thread for bolts so it might be a bit of a fuck around. Also you cant really see the gold bits that are on them. Mostly black any any ways.
