Default Down for 8 weeks!

Fell and broke my right wrist Monday, cast on for 8 weeks just when peek riding weather is hitting. It had to be my thottle hand.

Can your wife or girlfriend take you for rides in the mean time?

8 weeks sounds about right. When I broke my right wrist, the worst part
of the whole deal was the cast above the elbow. Trying to do paperwork
with my left hand was a pain too.
It will heal up fast.

Broke 2 fingers and tore wrist ligaments 2 weeks ago on my throttle hand, riding today. My buddy broke his femur in 2 places 3 weeks ago, I rode to his house today, he wasn't home, he was out somewhere, he wasn't whining, LOL.

When I was in the club, I broke my left ring finger and had a forearm cast, with it and my pinky in it too. Luckily, I could still use my first two fingers to work the clutch. But the right hand...there's no way around that one.

Good Luck and don't rush it, like taking your cast off. I did that and it re-broke it.
