As some who have answered my questions in the past know i broke my collar bone just over a month ago. Well being out of a sling i couldnt wait any longer to hop on my 92 gs. Had a great time starting off on my first real bike but you gotta stop at one point.
Well when i finished up i went to put it back in the storage unit that has a good lip to go over. Ends up i didnt get enough speed pushing it in and the back tire bounced it back out the door. Luckily i could react and keep her from tipping, but hurt my shoulder again in the process.
Im paying for it but i couldnt let her drop.

I attempted a premature return to martial arts after a broken collarbone.  First time my fist met something solid, the vibrations up my arm to my collarbone made me wonder if I had refractured it.  Be patient GI JOE.  Live to ride all summer.

LET IT GO ! fixing a bike is like:

ebay (20 minutes)
delivery (2 days, ok 4 tops)
wrench (20 minutes)

total time spent (if it's even really needed): 4days, 40 minutes


vs



bone healing:
4-6 weeks, then the wonderful "Oh this hurts, think it's gonna rain today!" yep, bones still hurt a year or two later.


let the bike fall. get pictures of it napping. it's cool.

I think they all sold their kickstands to be able to afford the exhausts & undertail kits. Or else they took them off to shave weight so they can go 1/50th of a MPH faster. :icon_lol:

Staged photo is what we have. They laid down their bikes in the style of a bunch of kids going inside and tossing their bicycles on the front lawn.
Cute picture! It needs the family cat somewhere in the photo.
