yer pity its now high level and is squashed flat against the bike...ohh and the pipework is rather nicely kinked..bet she sounds great though

Lol - I would but I'm going to be pretty busy unfortunately, only back home overnight. Going to be sorting out this CBR I just bought - it's so dirty! (although somehow...and I really don't know how....the downpipes look, well, clean! It's no SV, I tell you ).

Sorry if I missed it, but what's your ETA for getting back on the road (in terms of injuries I mean)?

Bah excuses excuses lol..

eta on getting on road..no real idea yet but at LEAST not until next year

Help me out here guys. I have broken many smaller bones which included making crazy pavment out of left cheek and eye socket, but have never (touching wood here big time) broken a limb.

Is the associated pain like 100 times more than breaking your nose,finger,ribs?

Dumb question maybe but just something I wondered about. I have to say that the most painfull injury I ever suffered was the tearing of an hamstring when at full pace. That was horrendous.

ermmm ive NEVER broke anything before..while bike was on my leg pain scale was about a 8 (1 means cant feel anything-10 is excrutiating), once id had some gas and air it dropped down to about a 5=according to the paramedics i have a v high pain level tolerance!!

I've had a few injuries in my time, mostly sport related. All sorts of breaks/tears/dislocations etc. IMHO tearing a muscle does hurt more than a break. Having said that i discovered an entirely new realm of pain when i ruptured my cruciate ligaments in April. I wouldn't recomend it!

mine just felt like a big bruise but as the bone starts to knit the joint rubs and gets tight, its a weird pain but i think a bad muscle tear is worse.

Lol sorry about the excuses they were true though! I have pics of the CBR up now in the photos section
