Bobby G Posted June 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2012 Being the dumba$$ that I am, I fell last night and hit my right hand on a landscape rock. (No, not riding the bike, doing yardwork!) The result is a chipped bone just below the middle finger in the palm of the hand, and a partially torn ligament. So unless I can get the cruise control to work at under 40 mph and just use the rear brake, I'm grounded for awhile. And aren't you impressed that I typed this using my left hand only? And I'm not left handed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted June 26, 2012 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2012 From the rash of mishaps and injuries suffered lately by members while working on their property, homes and shops I think I'm going to pass on upkeep for a while and just go for a ride instead. Sounds safer. Hope ya heal quickly. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted June 27, 2012 Share #9 Posted June 27, 2012 [And aren't you impressed that I typed this using my left hand only? And I'm not left handed! Not bad typing..The more practice you get with that left hand will come in handy come morning .... Is the T-paper located on the right, or left of your toilet.....?

The Marshal Posted June 27, 2012 Share #13 Posted June 27, 2012 Bobby G, sorry to hear that you decided to go and take a dive in the yard. Yard work is dangerous. I try to avoid it as much as possible. As far as you being able to use the front brake: Go ahead and ride! It will make you feel better. That, and the front brake is really overrated as a necessary component of motorcycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted June 27, 2012 Share #14 Posted June 27, 2012 As soon as my right hand healed enough to swing an 8lb sledge hammer, I'd show that rock who's boss.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utadventure Posted June 27, 2012 Share #15 Posted June 27, 2012 At least it's the middle finger. They can put it in a splint and you can go around letting everyone know what you think about not being able to ride....LOL Hope you get better soon and back on the bike.
