Title: I RIDE AGAIN!!!
Post by: JamesG on December 09, 2003, 12:42:17 PM
Rode the bike again for the first time in a month since I busted my foot.

Up Shifting is a bit painful because the shifter hits right on where the break was.  But feeling the (cold) wind makes it all worth it!
:cheers:

Good to be back, I have a lot of problems with inflamation on the top of the left foot and I now use a technique of changing with the heel, this is far less painfull. May be of use, depends where the pain is of course.

Eh....
I don't think I'm coordinated enough for that.  Especally on a YZF, I would probably catch my toes on the ground and hurt them again.

:oops:

I've managed to make it sound difficult but it's a slice of gateaux, try it, it works with the foot almost level.
