slowrollwv Posted April 9, 2017 #1 Posted April 9, 2017 Well my riding is done for six to eight weeks. :crying: I broke my right hand on Friday evening. Have a soft cast on now and have to see the Doc tomorrow for a hard cast. I may not make Don's MD ,on the bike but I am going to try to be there.
BlueSky Posted April 9, 2017 #2 Posted April 9, 2017 Oh man! That's tough! Just have to suffer through. Is that you primary hand?

GAWildKat Posted April 9, 2017 #5 Posted April 9, 2017 The question is just how did you do that? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk
Carbon_One Posted April 9, 2017 #6 Posted April 9, 2017 Sorry to hear this about your hand Chuck. Best wishes with the healing.
slowrollwv Posted April 10, 2017 Author #7 Posted April 10, 2017 The question is just how did you do that? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk I went to catch a glass before it hit the floor and hit the table leg. It broke the bone just behind my little finger on the right hand.
GAWildKat Posted April 10, 2017 #9 Posted April 10, 2017 Ow! And I thought I was prone to those weird accidents when I break something. I broke a toe walking through the house. And I broke my right leg tripping over a wheelchair ramp in an unlit parking lot after dark. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk
Marcarl Posted April 10, 2017 #10 Posted April 10, 2017 When ever we have a hurt, it always seems that something or somewhere else might have been better, just saying. Hope you heal well and soon, taking echinacea often helps speed the healing process. One of the instructors that we had for the novice and advanced MC training was missing his entire hand, and he was able to ride just fine with a stump. Braking for you might be a challenge though.

BlueSky Posted April 10, 2017 #11 Posted April 10, 2017 There's all kinds of things we depend on our primary hand to do. It will try your patience I'm sure. But the time will pass.
djh3 Posted April 10, 2017 #12 Posted April 10, 2017 Broke my right hand 32+ years ago. Little bone that hold the thumb in place or something like that. Better than 12 weeks later and 3 casts I started physical therapy. It still aint rite. No grip strength like I once had limited mobility and aches in cold. Hope your works out better.
Du-Rron Posted April 10, 2017 #13 Posted April 10, 2017 Hope you heal fast and painlessly slowrollwv.

I had that same bone broke in 72 in a bike crash along with 5 ribs, left leg, both color bones and a concussion. I did hurt a bit then.
Flyinfool Posted April 10, 2017 #15 Posted April 10, 2017 I broke that same bone in my right hand, I was still a kid and broke it doing something stupid that I was not supposed to be doing, had I told parents I prolly would have had other broken bones from them...... It eventually healed, even though a bit crooked. The good thing was I learned to be ambidextrous and still am, always looking for the silver lining.
slowrollwv Posted April 10, 2017 Author #17 Posted April 10, 2017 I went to the Doc today, every thing looks good and should be good to go by Don's MD.
Joe in WV Posted April 10, 2017 #18 Posted April 10, 2017 Hope you heal fast Chuck. Prayers up for a speed recovery. On the bright side, the brake lever is no where near as hard to pull, as the clutch lever.
bongobobny Posted April 10, 2017 #19 Posted April 10, 2017 On May 11th I am having surgery on a toe, so I will be unable to ride for a while myself! I'm thinking Marcarl's M&E will be out, but hopefully I'll be good to go MD...

On top of the hand I will have oral surgery on Thursday, so running my mouth will be out of the question.
Dragonslayer Posted April 10, 2017 #21 Posted April 10, 2017 I went to catch a glass before it hit the floor and hit the table leg. It broke the bone just behind my little finger on the right hand. Is that the story you're sticking to?
ragtop69gs Posted April 10, 2017 #22 Posted April 10, 2017 You know Chuck, if you wanted to back out of ripping the front end of the bike off at MD all you had to do is say so, ya didn't need to go to that extreme! 🙄 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
slowrollwv Posted April 10, 2017 Author #23 Posted April 10, 2017 Is that the story you're sticking to? That is my story and I'm sticken to it.
slowrollwv Posted April 10, 2017 Author #24 Posted April 10, 2017 Jay I still want to change out the springs just not sure when now.
ragtop69gs Posted April 11, 2017 #25 Posted April 11, 2017 Jay I still want to change out the springs just not sure when now. You'll just have to make a trip up here and we'll do it in my garage. Maybe we can even get a peanut gallery together to point out the error of our ways, I know @Carbon one and @cowpuc always have constructive criticism. Maybe call it a mini maintenance day.
