125-200cc 167 kit... can hurt people apparently...

Damn! Weren't you just recovering from something else?

David

Walt really sorry to hear that. Make sure you shave your shoulder,chest and back before you Duct tape yourself back together. Hurts worse getting it off if you don't. Hold off on the new tire before the weekend doesn't sound like traction was the problem.

Going in for some back surgery tomorrow found a surgeon who knows what to do. It's hard to find one that knows and just doesn't practice medicine.

Wow! Sorry to hear about the crash. Hope you recover quickly.

Thanks guys. I had fractured my wrist in December.

George,

My thoughts are with you. At least mine will definitely heal, backs are very tricky stuff. And yes giving yourself a bikini wax with duct tape is a tough way to go...Now that anyone that reads this is gagging on the visual, I will check out. Time to Ice again, I love ice, best pain killer there is.

Walt

Get better Walt! I just took a header the other day and landed on my shoulder.... Just badly bruised, so I'm lucky. I'm am also icing as I type.

George, good luck with the surgery and I'll talk to you soon.

Geez Walt , sorry to hear about that... and George good luck with the Surgery...

Too freggin' bad on the crash ... get well soon ... I usually wear my chest protector for the shoulder protection if nothing else but to protect my shoulders ...

My last shoulder crash was 5 months ago and it still hurts ... Not broke or anything, just old age ... I really try to limit the crashes now on each ride ... both big and small ...

I broke my shoulder last August and it still hurts...the range of motion is still out of whack...I think I did something to my rotator cuff. These damn bikes are so much fun, but are very dangerous at the same time. A couple weeks ago I went over the bars, but on the way over I took a very punishing bar to the gut. A couple of months ago I cracked a rib. At the desert 100 I swapped out over some sandy whoops and took a digger with my head. A month before that I went off a trail and hit a tree with my left hand guard that sent me flying into a branch that invaded my nostril. I stopped telling my mom about these things because she was really getting worried.

Get better guys and let's try to keep the rubber side down (me especially)!

Sorry to hear of your injury Walt, just when you were having so much fun.
I am doing my best to hold my speed down after my injury a year and a half ago, these bikes are not that much fun if you can't ride them. I realise that you can get hurt going any speed though.

Level 3 seperation of right ACL mothers day 09. Still aches but had no surgery. Worst pain in my life! Worse than getting blown up/shot for sure. 10 miles riding back to home was like almost as much pain as riding a KTM healthy for the same distance!

Get well soon all you other old farts.
Remember.....when the going gets tough....the tough ride Huskys!

Dang Walt sorry to hear about your crash. I am recovering from 5 broken ribs, busted spleen, cut liver, and concussion myself so I feel for ya. I wish you a speedy recovery. Good Luck to you too George.

Sorry about the crash, heal up quick!

Yikes, sorry to hear the news. I guess we can officially close this thread, Monster 167 tries to kill it's owner! 144cc proven to be the upper limit of safety.

Well that was easy like changing a piston on a aircooled 2 stroke. Looks like 2-3 weeks for the stitches to desolve. No lifting,rotating or bending, puts a damper on just about everything I have to do. Didn't think this one thru.
Just waiting for the deadners to wear off have the Vicodan,Tequilla handy.
Went for option #1 just local pain killer, Damn they have some long needles 600 main jets in them.
Kinda cool 5 Nurses all doing there thing Dr. busy doing his procedures lots of stuff going on. Had the full I-Beat setup, wired to the max,wires everywhere, leg pump things that enflate back and forth on full auto along with BP inflater on full auto also. Can't feel any pain only movement you can only picture in your mind whats happening thru what think you feel.
Not that would want to do it again but if had to Option #1 is my choice much better than going totally under.
Ok Walt bets on I ride before you do.
