Now this implies that either you were stopped about to or slow enough not to damage the bike Originally Posted by DavidG

Full story....
12 weeks ago I fell over on my Honda transalp 650.
Slipped in loose dirt on a sleep down hill corner whilst trying to go too slow.
Went to hospital (after a 80k ride home).
Hospital said it was only bruised.
It seemed to be taking too long to get better so I went to my own doc and convinced him I wanted an X-Ray.
Well it was broke.
I have been walking, working, climbing ladders, riding the bike etc all that time. Some times with a fair bit of pain.
'least now I have a reason for the pain....

At least a fib dosen't require surgery
. Good luck friend. Sure looks like it hurts.

Now you could rig up a stirup to sit the leg in cable/s or rod to operate leavers Break/Gears
backrest for additional comfort and stop you falling off maybe even a set of training wheels.
Even better the all new BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster http://spyder.brp.com/en-US/

Been riding every where since it happened.
I did buy some bike boot that nearly come up to the knee and give good support.

I sympathize with you, broke my arm 5 weeks ago and still in plaster. Don't heal as quick as I use to.
Reality is no background music.

Dropped my Trumpy Sprint 995 last year.
Just a sprained thumb.
Bike a write-off.
You need to choose what you sacrifice more carefully ;-}
.... moved to a Fireblade 954. Much safer.Cheers, Ern
