Mar 23, 2016 Deer vs. FZ6R

Slowly... Four more weeks off work. Where my bone was aligned, somehow it spilt over the first three weeks I had off, probably the lack of any kind of brace and just the sling wasn't enough... When i went back at six weeks it had not made much progress. So it's a waiting game now.
 
So.... Finaly starting to heal, but have a ways to go... I have another week and a half off work, then can return for light duty work.
I just want it healed so i can get some muscle back.... Crazy how much you lose... Also still can't quite do full motion, doc says during my stretching, shoulder should hurt, but not break area... Can't quite do full range yet...
STD dropped to 75% pay after nine weeks, so money is tight... Just want this behind me so I can get back to normal!!!
 
Just saw this thread, omg...glad you made it out of the accident mostly ok. Sending healing thoughts your way!
 
Finally

Doc cleared me from brace/sling, said keep using bone stimulator, but don't have to have it on all the time.

Now doing odd rotational exercises with rubber bands and go back for one more visit in six weeks. Once that's done, it's back to the gym/home dumbbells to return full strength.

Keeping an eye out for year end motorcycle deals, even if I have to get a friend to ride it home for me, I can at least start modding it on the weekends!
 
That's the spirit. Just last night I came up on a car stopped for a fawn no taller than my knee on the opposite side of the road. I of course didn't see this until I was passing the car; scaring the fawn across to the other side.
 
// thread jack....
I have had so many close calls in the PNW I can't count them all in 6 seasons... Far less in the past year since removing the P1X tips from the Two Bro slipons.
Of the 6 encounters this summer all but a single confused fawn (doe and 2 fawns) turned and ran back into the woods. Something about that wide open sound really gets them. Its blessing to them double back.

If your riding area is riddled with hoved rats, get loud. It appears to help!

Get well man! And thanks for sharing!

been ready!

but, still working on regaining muscles... it is amazing how much is lost in just a few months time.

Money is tight right now, so I may need another season off just to get my finances in order... will give me time to get back full strength and be financially sound in getting another bike. But, we'll see, I'm constantly looking at used bikes, if the right one at the right price pops up, I might snag it.

Im quite handy, but ducatis are know for valve issues among other things so it needs to go in every 7500 miles, they do like a 70 point inspection and what not its crazy but i guess thats part of owning an italian stalion lol so far shes worth it hahah

I could say something here about riding it hard... but we will just let that go...

from what I hear valves aren't that bad to adjust....just need the right tools.
