Test rode a brand new Beta 450RR Race version...super nice machine, absolutely beautiful.......rolling back to our parking zone casually... it happened, I guess I hit a rock because I was on the ground about 15 ft in front of the bike before I knew what happened. I think the rear got kicked out and just high sided me right off. Stupid and embarassing, I have not slammed that hard in while, my wrist is fff'd looks like a sausage and got a super charlie horse hip. I did not even tell my crew I was so pissed off and we went out for another ride (TE300) but I had to quit. I came clean this morn with one of my crew, zero marks on the Beta, maybe a little grip scuff thats it. Im more pissed that next weekend we have another invite marked ribbon ride...that I dont think I will be riding. I guess me not buying that Beta 300RR was the issue karma- beta karma....."I'LL be back asap" dont think its broken, but may have an xray look to check the infamous navicular which Ive cracked 2 times before---while playing soccer...yes soccer not from moto.
Yikes! I hit some gravel at 50mph yesterday on my 511 with supermoto wheels, it went completely sideways and then straightened itself out. I was amazed. It can happen so damn fast! Glad I have a bike with a super long swingarm I guess?
ps this was suppoesed to be posted in the general section, i guess my left wrist screwed up my button pushing....
ahh so you didnt buy that beta family 300rr did ya..........beta family revenge. just got 3 and 3 xrays 3 hand 3 wrist,,,,,at a glance they look pretty good to me...but im only good to see destroyed stuff... doc will review asap. ps i really need to relinquish my guilt ...i did not even tell the owner that i dropped his new machine.....i watched him drop it a few times during our trail ride, so its not too bad. just in case ... this is the bike....what a beaut, just strikingly nice looking. http://ambetaimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/RR-Race2014-450-hires.jpg
Riding buddy hit something a couple months ago that caught his foot and broke the tibia in two spots. Lots of pain,pins and pain killers. Out of action for min of 6mths. I have been lucky so far.
That sounds just like how I broke my humerus skiing, casual traverse, then shoulder plant and face full of snow.....stunned I was. Good luck healing. Painfully slow for me, at least seems that way....no cast but aches constantly....@ 9 weeks.
scafoid fracture....navicular,,, i think this is the third time maybe only second, but at least 2 times on my left hand. good thing when i was a kid i fell on a broken milk bottle and severed all kinds of nerves in my wrist up into to my thumb area, along with the artery (not so good) so its always a numbed out region, permanant novacaine spot, less pain.
