Wont be riding for a while

[Samson]

Hope everyone is enjoying the winter . I wont be riding for a while as I fractured my left wrist and my hand and have a grade 3 hand sprain. Since I cant grip anything it looks like my riding days are done for about 3 months per the doctors. Bummer, here is Az this is our prime riding season. For those who can still ride where the weather is good, hope you all have a blast.

Just a suggestion, that may help you feel better, since you own the model that I wish to own and yours is just going to be sitting there all lonely and forgotten, I would be happy to put myself out and Ryde it for you!

By the way I am seriously sorry for your injury, let us hope you healing is faster than anticipated and solid as before! :cheers:

:shocked: I'm sorry to hear that your riding season has been disrupted...
Is it just your left wrist?
If your bike has the SE-6 transmission: you might be able to get back to it sooner!
Heal quickly and completely! :thumbup:

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I too will not be riding for awhile, as I need two hip replacements and rotator cuff surgery. So brother, I feel your pain.

That's sad, you'll be ready to ride again when the temperature hits 100.

 

[Samson]

Thanks all, only time will tell.

Oldguyinct, That's brutal. 2 hips and a rotator cuff. wow. I did a right knee and a left shoulder at the same time a few years ago, that wasn't fun.. I wish you the very best and hope you have the best surgeon you can find.

Wrist surgery

I can feel your pain. I had two surgeries on my right wrist in June. The Red Rocks Rally in September was the first I was able to ride again. Still having some difficulty with long distances, but going to keep at it because the Homecoming is getting nearer. The riding this winter in AZ will help. Hope you get well soon!

Quick cure for Arizona cabin fever. Go out and buy a Vespa or some other step through CVT type scooter. Since the left hand is only used for the rear brake, who needs it? In fact you could even use that brake with just some curled fingers, even wrapped in a cast.

Last June I had a fracture of the bottom of the leg, not bad, but a really messed up ankle. My Vespa was a sanity saver. I rode that scoot everywhere. It was easer to ride than drive a car, or even sit in a car. I just had to practice a few times how to get it up on the center stand using the left foot. Good to go.

The medical field does not understand motorcycle riders, or dare I say, trike riders either. Prove that doctor wrong. Good luck.

Well... I was getting a littel bummed out...

... reading about the medical issues taking friends out of ryding... please know that I wish everyone fast healing and am sending prayers your way... (and that should be "little" not littel. Couldn't edit the title???)
