BDI,

Hope you heal soon.

BDI, i did not have to have any surgery on my wrist. i was lucky, even after remodling on my bathroom for 3 days and working at my normal job for 4 days, the broken piece of bone was still holding on by a thread and was still in the right alignment. the orthopedic specialist took lots of xrays at different angles cause they couldn't believe i worked all week with it broke and managed not to do severe damage and shift the bones. sorry to hear you will be down for 12 weeks, that sucks and i know. well, maybe you will have time for all those cool little projects you have been dreaming about. i'll pray for fast healing for you. take care of yourself, maddoggy.

Look on the bright side...

your bike did not get damaged in this crash.  You can heal, but repairs to the bike take $$.  

Do you think your insurance would cover Titanium Ankles?

Get well soon.

Those are some very cool parts but WOW if the surgery I had hurts this bad I couldn't imagine how bad that would hurt. They basicly have to take your whole foot off the bottom of your leg so they can machine the bones to except the ti parts.

Those d**n quilts.  Been maiming women for hundreds of years.  Maybe you should take up sky diving.

Thanks buddy  I did the sky diving thing, it proved a lot safer then walking down stairs with a quilt like a women. That was funny I give you that. Today is a lot better then yesterday as far as the pain goes. The thing that scares me most is the possibility of infection. I know a guy who broke his leg on his kx500 and had to have surgery.He got mersa in his leg and had to have a complete knee replacement and almost lost his whole leg, he did lose most of his toes.

Sorry to hear about your leg.  That really sucks.  I had a bad fall on my CR500 and hurt both knees this time.  I'm mostly over it now. It was back on March 30.  I'm about one more crash away from dune buggies and street bikes only.
Get well soon and get on the physical therapy as quick as you can.

I built turbocharged buggie (Red) back in '89 because I was tired of getting hurt. I built the green on 4 months later after destroying the red one. In 2002 I get the bright idea to start racing MX again. I have been beat up ever sence.
    I even sold my '86 K5 after beating it every time in a drag race with the buggy. 10.80 in the 1/4 with snow tires and wheelie bars. Way more fun for than a cast.

I tried sky diving once.  Six weeks later I got the cast off my ankle.  I stay on the ground now.

10.80 is one fast buggy!
