Got my laptop here, might even re-in once I know the timeline for near future a bit better. I think my brother just had same, death wobble-had to bail? Good luck and get well, just as encouragement they thought he would need a plate the rest of his life- he currently doesn't have the plate and all nerve-ends are regrowing. Treat the injury with care and you will likely do well. Keep hydrated, and maintain as balanced a diet as you can. I can't remember what else he said but if I remember maybe pm you if it was important. Oh and from my own car accident in January- big reason I phone post- thumb still needs to be excersised as it hasn't fully healed. Sometimes an injury needs months to heal. | ||

I was riding a relatively twisty backroad, checking the route for a group ride. 80kph zone and I was doing about 70, engine braking through a blind medium right. Knew there's a relatively sharp left after it so wasn't going very fast. On entering the left I noticed something (turned out to be grain from some farmer's load) on the right lane. Tried to brake and then turn sharply but that was obviously the wrong option, I should just have used the opposing lane since there was no oncoming car. Dirty visor and very low sun angle made seeing the crap on the road very hard. Bike ended in ditch and was pretty badly damaged from what I could see, waiting for appraisal. Police found the farmer and his insurance will cover my costs and he also called to say he's sorry and so. I'm not 100% sure of the exact sequence of events but I believe I lowsided onto my left shoulder (most damage is there) and rolled at least once (as right knee took a hit also). One broken rib (I wasn't even really aware, does not really hurt), broken clavicle and scapula but the doctor says he's against operating as that would just add risk and slow down healing. 4 weeks with left hang in sling if everything goes right, then probably some physiotherapy to regain mobility. PS. What bike do you ride? Mine's a Suzuki GSX650F, though if the insurance company totals it I'll go for something more track oriented next... PPS. One handed typing is soo frustrating for someone who has touch typed for the last 18+ years... | ||

I ride a Suzuki SV650S from 2004. It's still my first bike and I'm still somewhat happy with it, I like the 2-cylinder engine. However I don't know anything about mechanics so I barely manage to do maintenance on it. Hope it doesn't backlash in the near future. :/ I once did a race-training on the Hockenheimring with it, sadly it doesn't have enough power to compete on the race track but still fun to drive on countryside roads.

It balances itself, at least when you're going faster than 20 kph. | ||

Anyway, get well soon! edit: btw, last newbie mafia done already? who won? It was a pretty clear town win. It wasn't that long a game it's probably worth a read. Especially day 1, that's how NOT to play as town. Dead air equals dead townies, usually. | ||

You don't need balance to drive a bike. It balances itself, at least when you're going faster than 20 kph. Tell that to the leg. Can't even go downhill on a Honda TR250. (Or "fat cat", easiest bike to balance that exists- landed on leg). I am aware of gyroscopic effect but going into a gas station at 15 mph even is not safest decision and gutters and whoo, here we are at balance discussion again  | ||

This is true. My first game was full of vets and I had no idea what was going on. Two years later, when I play I still have no idea what is going on. | ||
