Now this implies that either you were stopped about to or slow enough not to damage the bike

Next Q what sort of m/bike

Full story....
12 weeks ago I fell over on my Honda transalp 650.
Slipped in loose dirt on a sleep down hill corner whilst trying to go too slow.
Went to hospital (after a 80k ride home).
Hospital said it was only bruised.

It seemed to be taking too long to get better so I went to my own doc and convinced him I wanted an X-Ray.

Well it was broke.

I have been walking, working, climbing ladders, riding the bike etc all that time. Some times with a fair bit of pain.

'least now I have a reason for the pain....

At least a fib dosen't require surgery . Good luck friend. Sure looks like it hurts.

Yep sure have no bike till it heals.....thank goodnes bike is ok

Now you could rig up a stirup to sit the leg in cable/s or rod to operate leavers Break/Gears
backrest for additional comfort and stop you falling off maybe even a set of training wheels.

Even better the all new BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster http://spyder.brp.com/en-US/

No way... Was back on the bike next day...
Been riding every where since it happened.
I did buy some bike boot that nearly come up to the knee and give good support.

[munruben]

I sympathize with you, broke my arm 5 weeks ago and still in plaster. Don't heal as quick as I use to.

Dropped my Trumpy Sprint 995 last year.

Just a sprained thumb.

Bike a write-off.

You need to choose what you sacrifice more carefully ;-}

.... moved to a Fireblade 954. Much safer.
