Eagle Mtn got the best of me last night. I got bucked off about 5 miles in and still rode the full 20 miles in some pretty extreme pain. This included riding a friends bike up a gnarly section. Surgery to install pins will follow...

Left thumb extra articular fracture of metacarpal base

Awwww man! That sux! Here's to a speedy recovery!

That will slow you down for a minute or two.

Is the throttle hand still good ?

The throttle hand is fine!

A little swollen this morning at the docs office...

[Mtnseeker1]

There is always the Recluse.
Just kidding hope you heal fast.

I bet it was hell trying to hold on getting your buddies bike up the rough stuff plus finishing the ride.

[accadacca]

The recluse has certainly come to mind.

I am sitting here waiting for the specialist. I plan to have him design the cast around my handlebars.

Current splint...

[Mtnseeker1]

Now this I believe.
Soooo How long are you down?

[nelsonccc]

So you had to ride Mark's bike up the hard stuff. Sure sounds like him.

I hope your not out the entire season. Looks painful. But you could still ride one handed faster than I ever could with 2. And yes, recover fast.

Shoot he'll be Montana by the time he gets back to us.

My evil plan went well. The assistant doctor said I would have to come back Tuesday for surgery. I told him I was headed to Vancouver, BC next Thursday night and then down through Washington/Oregon/Nevada for a 4 day ride.

After overhearing some conversation in the hall, the main doc came in and said that they were going to add me to the schedule for tomorrow. I will come back next Wednesday to get fitted for a special splint that I can ride with. Hot Damn!!! This doctor was a stud!

Like I said a minute or two Best of luck to you and stay off the down hill rocks in the mean time.

[Mtnseeker1]

Hang in brother if only the throttle hand
Take good care of it cause I have a plan.
The summer is only about to start
And we have some great rides ahead of us.
You will be in like flynn in 4 weeks I promise unless you screw it up again.

Best wishes on the road to recovery.
The snow will be off just in time.

Just woke up and my thumb seems to be back in the right position. BRAAAAAP!

[Mtnseeker1]

On the road again,With a bit of country music tied in: Heal fast bro cause I know you will not wait it out.

[accadacca]

Takes a little getting used to! I am headed in for a follow up with a spare handgrip so they can make me a fancy splint. Headed to Canada for a ride and some business tomorrow night! :o)

ABS button? Anti-lock button? You can turn it on or off? Interesting.

[Mtnseeker1]

Beemers have been doing for years bro.
