My NEWEST mod...

[Mr Lefty]

So once again... Happy Early Birthday to me... with the help of some of my co-workers I was able to pull this shit off...

Broken right foot... Joy... and only 3 days before I head out... :lol:


they put me in a cast but I had them give me a splint too.... I went to work... and cut off the cast... put the splint on... it was gonna come off any how... when I put my boot on... so... :idk:

[tached1000rr]

Wow, what happened?

[Mikey]

Nice work. What exactly did you break? Are you gonna be able to ride like that?

On an unrelated note, it looks like I may be heading your way for a couple of weeks in July.

[Mr Lefty]

Wow, what happened?

playing basketball... a coworker's foot landed under mine...

I forget... one of the bones right in front of my ankle on the out side... not a horrible break... and yes... i'll ride... fuck I'd ride if they made me stay in a cast... but it's my right foot anyways... so no rear brake :lol:

Yeah. See, AF guys are scary. ;)

Ebbs, don't feel bad. I did the same thing many times playing ball in high school and college. That's how I ended up with bone spurs on both ankles. Make sure you behave as much as possible in the short time you have before you leave and take the best care of it that you can manage while on the trip.

Oh, and how are you going to explain the lack of a cast when you go back for your follow up?

[JARVIS518]

[G-Rex]

[Mr Lefty]

[Mr Lefty]

:lol: yeah I was like... fuck if I go to the ER and they put a cast on... I gotta figure out an excuse as to why I come back from leave with out one... :lol:

talked them into giving me a splint too... so got rid of the cast at work...

Crazy Shit...

Your a braver man than I

ehh... I have no pain right now... didn't even pick up my pain pills....

the only time it hurts is when I press down... and with the splint I can't do that... so no rear brake for a while :D

[ericr]

and with the splint I can't do that... so no rear brake for a while :D

better watch the wheelies without a rear brake dude :D

Tommy better bring a feakin ambulance to the rally the way y'all are going now, damn :panic:

Y'all won't think I'm anti-social if I want to ride alone when we get there will ya??? :lol:

[askmrjesus]

Yeah. See, AF guys are scary. ;)

:lol:

JC

[Cutty72]

the only time it hurts is when I press down... and with the splint I can't do that... so no rear brake for a while :D

uh oh, no wheelie control now!
Someone get this man some wheelie bars! :lol:

heal up quick man.

[JoJoYZF]

Does your splint fit under your boot? If not Id just go to a sporting goods store and see what kind of ankle brace (like the lace up type) they have that will for while you ride.

[Gas Man]

I must agree with NTS... RETARDED

[MikeSP1]

don't feel too bad dude, we had a guy here dislocate his knee playing hacki-sack (sp?).

Wish I could make it to the rally, but I don't think I can get the RC back together and across both the Pacific and the rest of USA. Heal up quick dude

[Mr Lefty]

JoJo never thought about that.. good idea... but yeah the splint won't fit... so those lace up braces would be perfect.

lol... nope... no wheelie control... but when there's 13y/o's flash'n ya... there's no such thing as wheelie control :lol:


pain is still nill this morning... slept pretty well last night. think I'll be just fine for the ride.

[marko138]

I broke my left foot in a rock and roll accident a few years ago. No cast...just a boot. But the first time I rode, about 3 weeks later, it FUCKING HURT to shift gears.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah if this was my left... I'd probably be trailering... if I went at all... but right foot... blah... :lol:

[t-homo]

Did you fall over a groupie on your way to the mini bar?

JC

[Ninjakel]

Jackass :lol:

[Rider]

You're such a fragile princess. :pebbs:

[TopGun]

Nice job on the foot Ebb! Ouch, I rolled mine a few months back, it still hasnt healed up yet.

[HurricaneHeather]

Ebbs, don't you know you ALWAYS get the pain pills! :lol: If you don't need them, sell that shit to teenagers....duh.

[marko138]

Did you fall over a groupie on your way to the mini bar?

JC
I wish it was that easy. In fact, we were in the middle of a Rolling Stones cover, Paint It Black, and the crowd was into it. They were jamming hard...ran into me and I fell backwards, tripped over my guitar players foot pedals with my left foot and fell to the ground. I finished the song from the floor. Then got up...and leaned against my bass rig for the rest of the show.

[Amber Lamps]

yeah if this was my left... I'd probably be trailering... if I went at all... but right foot... blah... :lol:

Yea, I had a broken ankle when I hit the 1st deer back in '97 and I rode my bike "street fighter" style with a cast on my right foot. No problem. If you want some advice, I'd leave the cast on until you got to the Gap. It might save you some discomfort.

[Mr Lefty]

Well to be honest I have 0 pain. Now if I take the splint off and try to walk normal it hurts... But ill b fine on the bike. Gonna pickup one of those lace up braces... And ill be gtg

[rogue]

Damn dude! Are you trying to take yourself out BEFORE the rally? :lol:

I have a bum knee and have ridden about 300 or so miles with it. The only time it didn't hurt was when I had my foot on the peg. I couldn't brake nor could I put that foot down. Mounting and dismounting was a bitch because it was swollen and gotten worse with riding so I couldn't hardly move my leg at all. I still rode though.

If you want some advice, I'd leave the cast on until you got to the Gap. It might save you some discomfort.

:iagree:


Tommy better bring a feakin ambulance to the rally the way y'all are going now, damn :panic:


Tommy's not the meat driver....that's DragonPaco and he's not coming so we may be SOL. :lol:


Y'all won't think I'm anti-social if I want to ride alone when we get there will ya??? :lol:

Looks like the only ones that may be safe to ride with are you, me, Tommy, Sixxxer, and Chi. :lol:

[njchopper87]

That sucks dude.. I hope you heal up a bit before you head out.

Between the two of us we might just have enough body parts to ride a bike together. The new name of the rally is the TW annual "cast-off" party.

I'm cutting mine of on tuesday, but, all i can think of using is an angle grinder, what did you use.

Hey it's been a while but can't you still soak them off?

Uh... about a gallon of water :lol:

EXACTLY



On an update... too my splint off yesterday... shit feels pretty good... ankle is swelled up just a bit. feels good though... just a slight twinge of pain now and again... but I've had more much more pain the day after work'n out.

You're going to end up like one of those old fuckers that complains every time it rains.

Ask me how I know.

JC

[Mr Lefty]

Jesus has arthritis :lol:

[CrazyKell]

I have broken the same bone in my foot (shattered it actually) and I'm here to tell you that taking the cast off and riding on it is not a very smart idea.

I have constant pain in my foot from having a cast come off too early. I have a bone chip and there are days when I can hardly walk. I limp a lot.

Sorry. :( I hope this doesn't happen to you.

[derf]

Hey it's been a while but can't you still soak them off?

I want to use the bottom half of the cast as a splint for when I'm not on the bike, and I'm hoping they give me a new cast that I can use as support for just my hand when I am on the bike

[Mr Lefty]

well I hope not... but honestly... if it happens it happens... I feel good enough to ride now... and like I said... I talked to the ER DR. he said i was fine to ride if I got a brace and my boots were as restrictive as I said ( my A* SMX4's ) he said he's not worried about me making the injury worse... as I can't. but more worried about my pain threshold. and right now... VERY VERY minor pain.

[Particle Man]

I want to use the bottom half of the cast as a splint for when I'm not on the bike, and I'm hoping they give me a new cast that I can use as support for just my hand when I am on the bike

just go to Rite Aid or Walgreens or something and get a brace with a rigid insert that you can velcro on and off...

[Mr Lefty]

I want to use the bottom half of the cast as a splint for when I'm not on the bike, and I'm hoping they give me a new cast that I can use as support for just my hand when I am on the bike

try talk'n to tommy... see if he can grab some of the splint material and bring it with him... the stuff I got was just cast material wrapped in cotton... they soaked it in warm water and applied it to my foot to harden. as long as he kept it dry or sealed prior to getting to the rally... we could fit it there with a couple ace bandages...

[derf]

I'm going to the docs on tuesday and I am going to tell them my master plan, see if they cant hook me up

[Mr Lefty]

I'm going to the docs on tuesday and I am going to tell them my master plan, see if they cant hook me up

even better... ask them for the splint stuff... see if they'll make you one and give you another in case this one gets wet and gets all fucked up.

good luck!

[JoJoYZF]

JoJo never thought about that.. good idea... but yeah the splint won't fit... so those lace up braces would be perfect.

lol... nope... no wheelie control... but when there's 13y/o's flash'n ya... there's no such thing as wheelie control :lol:


pain is still nill this morning... slept pretty well last night. think I'll be just fine for the ride.

Glad I could be some help for once. One of those under a good boot and your foot/ankle should be pretty well set for the ride.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah I'll be picking one up here in a bit... just packing and waiting for UPS
