Gutted. 4 more weeks of no riding.

Dropped the bike 10 days ago and broke my thumb. Been putting up with it just strapped up but it's in the wrong place so use had to have a pot put on for the next 4 weeks, possibly 6.

I can't even go looking at new jackets as I can't put one on!

Gutting. At least the weathers a bit s**t at the mo so your not missing much. Get well soon and thumbs up. (sorry)

Look on the bright side phatty, you could have ended up with plaster and kebab skewers

Plus you've probably got a lightweight cast, last time I was in plaster it was real plaster and it was autumn. Real plaster casts and rain aren't a good on bike, lasted about 2 days

thoughs 6 weeks will fly by, then back on the bike

It's driving me nuts!! I've never wanted to bend my thumb as much as I want to right now.

Thankfully I can still drive. It's just so damn irritating! ah well, it'll be a soggy mess this afternoon, seeing as I'm parked a mile away and it's forecats rain all afternoon.....

Of course, I taxed the bike online for 12 months the day before dropping it......

You could put the bike back on a SORN and ask for a refund

Look on the the positve side.. any accident you walk away from is a lucky escape on two wheels
