Just cracked a tin open.
I have a 350 mile ride lined up over this weekend on the old 1930 500cc. I wonder if I will be able to walk in the morning?

As the bike needs a hard run and bump with a dropped clutch to start walking is important.

It could use a few stitches but that will bollox up the weekend. Have a freshly serviced bike outside that needs to be used over the next two days so I have just patched it all back in place with tape and washed some pills down with beer.
Recon its a good un for 300 miles Mr. Green

What type of tape!?

Maybe tomorrow go to the chemist and get some butterfly stiches, if they sell them, im not an expert.

Maybe they can hold it in place, and tape over the top, mine couldnt cause my skin wouldnt stretch.

Hope it dont get infected...

That is the problem with shins, the skin does not stretch well.
I have made some heavy weight butterflies by cutting medical tape up and it is working well. Real stitches would require rest and I ain't in the mood for resting.
It bled like crazy at first so it will be clean and I do not think infection will be an issue, if it gets hot i will sort some antibiotics NP.
My ex just phoned, she said I sounded manic and dangerous Mr. Green

Looks like it needs stitches pal.

It won't naff your weekend up mate.

I had 23 stitches in my left arm and the day after they were put in I got a Personal best in the hammer.

So much for " taking it easy for the next few weeks"

Thumbs Up

Thanks for all the concern but the pills have kicked in and I feel like i can take on the world and nob its sister, praise be to god for Diclofenac Sodium!
Arm skin is nice and stretchy Jamie, it is like bollock sack or nob skin and you can sew it easily. I must have had 150 or so stitches in my arms and hands over the years and you never get grief with them. In fact I have got a needle and thread and put at least 20 stitches in myself on various occasions when I could not be arsed to go to A&E. Shins are a bitch though, far more like head skin with no play in it. Stitches rip out if you try to have fun.

I'm not speaking from experience here, since I've never had bad cuts and what I have had I've always left to mend itself, but I would hazard a guess electrical insulating tape would do as good a job as any other. Whack a load of vasoline on the wound first to try and contain the bloodflow should it try and start bleeding again, then wrap the insulating tape round and round your leg - Should hold it together nicely.

Oh, and kickstarters... My 550/4 has a fold up footrest. The reason is that the kickstarter is in the way of the optimal footrest placement, however it does also nicely prevent you from ever smackin' your shin against the bugger. That engine is a piece of piss to kick though (can turn it over by hand), whereas my other bike without a fold-up footrest is not, and has left me limping many a time. Still probably nothing compared to a big single though - I've decided my next bike will definitely be a big single, either an old brit or a large cc jap trailie.

I remember hearing that superglue is a good replacement for stiches temporarily.

No idea if it's a good idea putting superglue on an open wound if you have any other choice though...

Well it held up for a 200mile ride through the Cotswolds today on the hand change 1930 bike.
We were supposed to be doing it all again tomorrow but I cut the do down to one day as I am sure it will hurt in the morning once the pain killers wear off also I did not feel up to a night of heavy drinking as tonight would certainly be!

superglue is a life saver, every time i go down hill biking or anything i always take a small tube, cut urself and its a case of superglueing the sides of the cut back together, did it when i split my eyebrow open, all cuts on arms and legs etc. stings for a few minuted but soon goes away, seals and helas nicely and leaves awesome scars Thumbs Up Twisted Evil Thumbs Up
