THIS SUX

**SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN** · 10-07-2015, 01:13 PM

THIS SUX, my wife & i were going to do hunter mountain this sunday, well yesterday i trip over a jack at my shop while carry a new rim up front. i fell down, scratched
the polished rim and tore the ligaments in my right ankle.
Now i am on crutches, redoing the polish & clear to the wheel and hoping i will be ok for the following week when we go to sleepy hollow for their halloween thing.

Sorry to hear about that. Stuff happens sometimes.

Wishing you a quick recovery.

**Bob Denman** · 10-07-2015, 01:18 PM

Torn ligaments aren't any fun at all...

I've heard it said that a busted bone will heal faster!

I'm sorry to hear that crutches are now a part of your daily wardrobe; please heal quickly and completely!

**kbwitt** · 10-07-2015, 01:19 PM

Sounds like me
Hope you have a fast recovery

**Roadster Renovations** · 10-07-2015, 01:21 PM

Wishing a speedy recovery!

**cuznjohn** · 10-07-2015, 01:32 PM

hope you feel better al, but the bike does have 3 wheels

**jcasey** · 10-07-2015, 01:33 PM

**SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN** · 10-07-2015, 02:41 PM

Thanks all, cuzn it may have 3 wheels but no wheel to put crutches and can't wear a shoe, my toes will be FREEZING.

**Bob Denman** · 10-07-2015, 02:44 PM

Strap the crutches on across the passenger grab rails, and get yourself a set of concrete over-boots...
A couple of thick pairs of socks, and you'll be riding in no time!

**SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN** · 10-07-2015, 03:12 PM

I will think real hard about that one bob

**eagleeye299** · 10-07-2015, 03:22 PM

Hope you mend quickly.

**Chupaca** · 10-07-2015, 03:35 PM

**jerpinoy** · 10-07-2015, 04:01 PM

I rode one entire snowmobiling season like that...

The worst part of it: I was usually riding an old Boa Ski Mk III, with a 530cc Hirth up in front of me.
The sled handled about as poorly as a 350 pound hooker in a featherbed, with that huge chunk of no-power steel sitting up so high...

**LeClaireRog** · 10-07-2015, 04:52 PM

As my next door neighbor tells me all the time, and for good reason! "Be careful", except he extends the "Be".

Hope you get well soon and are back on the road.

**SPYDERGUY1** · 10-07-2015, 08:31 PM

Get the wife to drive. With no motorcycle license here in Alberta , my wife can drive either with me on the spyder or following her on another ride. Food for thought. Anyway, heal up quickly. Good luck .

**Motorcycledave** · 10-07-2015, 08:34 PM

Good luck with that..... hope it heals up fast

You should think real hard about that. Did the doc say what the degree of sprain/ tear is? Any ankle bone fractured?

I do hope it isn't too bad, and you heal quickly.

**Bob Denman** · 10-08-2015, 07:21 AM

Hi Wylie!
I never said that it was the smartest thing, that I've ever done...
But if you think that motorcycling season is short; snowmobiling season is a whole lot shorter!
If you snooze; you loose!

I didn't suggest what you said was wrong. It all depends on the grade of sprain/tear; not every sprain is the same grade.

Once again, heal quickly SS.

Sounds like something I would do. Heal quickly. Butt, I don't think so.

didn't go to dr. i have done this on both ankles now for 40 years, over 6 times ea. it is a torn ligament, dr's can't do anything but put ace bandage on,
give me prescription for tylenol with codene & give me crutches. well i don't like taking prescription drugs, i have crutches & i have the bandage. done this
too many times so i am very very familiar with it & i instantly know when it happens.
only good thing is it's not as bad as other times.

**Bob Denman** · 10-08-2015, 09:07 AM

Geez...
You sound almost as accident-prone as me.

It's rough when you know what you did to yourself, from experiences with prior adventures...

My condolences...
