Who all is recovering?

[SoND]

How many people here are out of action currently because of a bike accident?

I'm one and might be back to work before christmas and I know there's more of you out there. I'm curious to see how dangerous bikes really are.

I was out of action for 2days (cudn't really walk at all) after I fell on my CBT hurt both my knees and my shins on my left leg. massive bruises that are still there today nearly 2weeks on. hurt. But was a nice lesson for putting into perspective the importance of some decent gear

I said yes, even though my accident was 10 years ago tomorrow. And that is because when it is cold and damp like it has been I don't ride, because my knackered bits hurt like hell, and it's much better, more comfortable and warmer in the car.

Voted yes,

Just had a 3rd op to fix a broken tib/fib from my off in june.

[SlimRick]

Due for an MRI scan on the 17th to check for a torn muscle on my shoulder. Been 3 weeks since my off - not had a comfortable nights sleep since!

I am still having problems with my hand from a crash in Febuary. I think it will be for life.

I crashed on monday. I'm only really out of action because - bandit has a hole in the engine now and is missing bits and has no oil in it .

Kmx 200 has no fuel tap (at the moment - picked up today) but i wouldn't commute on that anyway

the RS50 in my back garden has no tax, no mot, isn't registed in my name and doesn't run at the moment

i don't really have space for many more bikts . Gotta find something cheap and local though, if i could find a cheap 2 stroke (rxs/k100) i would keep it for ever though next to the kmx .

My leg is still giving me problems, nothing major but it keeps swelling up when I'm wearing my boots and I start to get pins and needles. Hoping it will clear up once the bone has finished healing and my muscles are back to full strength.

Just got to be extra careful when carrying an injury I suppose.

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

I'm just doing physio for my leg and back although i won't say to much as Moonie might go off on one

Will probably get back on a bike in spring (will only use it for fun now, will get a car for commuting) and hopefully i will be fully mended by then (Will of been 10 months since my accident towards the end of april next year)

Still recovering after breaking my foot last year (13 months) slight swelling at the end of each day. Aches almost constantly, feels hot/cold alternately, and my ankle which was a bit squashed needs almost daily articulation so I can get moving. Oh and I need to elevate it most afternoons and evenings. Still mustn't grumble, worse things 'appen at sea.

Didn't read the original post before i voted. I'm not out of action but am injured! I've constantly been injured for over a year now. Had a nasty crash Aug 2007 and my back and neck haven't been right since!

No, I've luckily recovered from a couple of weekends ago. Skinned a knuckle when whipping the plug out my bike, bloody cooling fins. I'm man enough to continue riding through the worst though.

[MattHirst]

Meh i mis-read the first post aswell then.

I could just ride a cruiser with foward controls (would have to move the gear lever a bit though)...but i don't currently ride (new bike next spring )

I came off about a month ago now and dislocated my thumb so haven't been able work as my job requires heavy lifting and I'm still unable to lift anything over about 3kg with that hand....... Really should go back to hospital to get it checked out again...........

Can ride my bike ok as long as im not leaning too far into corners else it smarts a fair bit maybe i'm just a bit of a wimp? lol

[colin1]

The stats were looking alarming as if a quarter of bcfers were currently unable to ride due to accidents, but it seems its a quarter are nursing injuries from accidents a while back.

Even so, that does seem quite a lot, even more reason to be careful.

Two years ago I had a bit of tendon damage, after someone turned right across my path without looking but its cleared up fine.
