With injuries like that it's patience. I'm sure there are some upgrades you've been thinking of? Spend the down time wrenching, that's what I do. Don't push it. When I crushed my spine I remember riding my fzr with a turtle type back brace on, just stupid on my part. You will ride again, trust me. I'm supposed to never ride again and you can see how that's working out.

From the mileage on your bikes it's fairly clear you don't ride all that much, so it seems somewhat strange you would be so concerned about riding now. Work hard on your PT and you will be out riding soon (if that is really your concern). Strange, when we can't do something we miss it but sometimes don't take advantage of it when we can . . . it's 'possible' something else was keeping you from riding when you could. If so that MIGHT be the real reason you are thinking of selling them (of course I don't know, nor am I judging you). For me I get nutz if I'm not riding constantly, but it was clear I had to be sensible after my shoulder surgery.
Dumb *** answer but here it is ! I am stuck inside for 2 to 3 weeks unless someone comes by and takes me out somewhere which is seldom, but I was eating dinner and had my dinner on a dinner tray in front of tv and had a bowl of mashed potato's and as I moved my tray to the right the bowl slipped off the side and my right hand reached out for it and it was bouncing around and I thought I had it caught but it slipped out again for some reason I leaned forward spontaneous and my surgery arm reached forward and grabbed the bowl. It felt like it weighed a ton and I screamed. My forearm reached forward and me shoulder was not raised but leaned forward catching the bowl. Dumb *** I should have let it fall ! Its sore but seems to be recovered. Guess when I go in for staple removal 2/23 they might xray it !

Do the right thing and take of yourself first- let your body heal properly before putting any more stress and strain on it. The road isn't going anywhere.
