ouch!; dam; sorry to hear; that's shitty bad luck x2. Finger reminds me ...

Broke 3 fingers on L hand in a sports accident (actually were dislocated and pulled off bone fragments;) all three fingers pointing in wired unnatural directions, couldn't move a thing; looked so bad just pulled on em to straighten them out; was soooo relived they at lease looked normal and I could move them a bit for about 1/2 hour; next day they were like sausages 2x size; couldn't move em again for 2 months; physio for 6 months seemed to work well got 90% rage of motion back ... at least didn't break neck that I saved with arm and fingers go the worst of it ... sorry; just trying to be empathetic. Best speed in recovery ... thanks for sharing that. Cheers D

Yep; still knocked out with a helmet on; fingers with leather hockey gloves on; slew footed (tripped with stick) into boards, amazed to see how much fingers can swell...lol. Hope yours isn't too swollen; turns out tendons take longer than bones to heal.

Unfortunately, all takes time and motos don't heal.

Yeah.

Not much swelling. I'm done riding for the year so bikes and bones can take as long as they take.

It was great, as usual. There's something about the end of the straight, in race reverse, at 150 mph that will get you going. Grin

One crash on the first morning, and two people ran out of fuel. Otherwise incident free. waytogo

Helped a friend from BC, recovering from prostate cancer, get his mojo back. If you didn't know the relationship we have you'd think what I said was inappropriate.  Evil Even his wife laughed. Regardless, it worked!

That was the best part of the trip.

A quick update-

Both bikes are being repaired. I got a call about the 675 and was told the adjuster looked up the wrong tank (jet black) and that my tank (phantom black) was an additional $600 which would total the bike.

So, after confirming the tank doesn't leak, I ordered some CF tank sliders that basically glue to the ears of the tank and will cover up the damage. Easy fix.

My elbow is still broken but no cat so that's awesome. It doesn't bother me at all for the most part.

My little finger was definitely a case of mallet finger. In wearing a split full time for three more weeks, then 6 weeks just at night. It's a major pain but I want my finger to heal so I am staying with it.
