Ok, so the weather last week was in the 40's, but I was working too much & didn't get out. I did see about 3 guys on scoots & now we have a storm thats supposed to drop about 6 inches of snow on us. Anybody else ready for this white diahrrea to be over with ??

It's been a pretty warm winter with lots of good riding weather.....up until a month ago. Unfortunately I cut my left arm with a chainsaw. Cut all the tendons/muscles/ligaments. Had all those nice days to ride and I didn't have the hand strength to pull in my clutch!!DSC01345.jpg

OUCH! Talk about pain and such. Hope you're gonna be Ok. And, YES, I am so done with the snow. Not that we get much at all but it's the ice, slush, frozen crap that I'm tired of. I've had it! Where the hell is spring!

well that puts things in perspective, i have been bitc%in about having to ride my scoot for the last 2 months. it could be worse, it could be snowing down here, or i could be hurt and not even be able to ride at all.the weather has been decent down here,may even hit 75 today..........
i cut my left wrist with a peice of aluminum flashing all the way to the bone,very simaler to the pic i saw, dont rush it. i did and it was not worth it!!!!! i would wrap it really tight , take a couple pain pills and go riding anyway, the next day is when you pay the price, though the pain pills out they dont work........
take some good advice from a very hard headed man, let it heal then go play!!!!

o ya, gonna send some of this sunshine up north!!!!!

WOW that looks nasty!Makes me feel bad about whining about the snow and cold hasn't been above 40 here since early Nov.I hope your hand/arm heals 100% You might think about a hydraulic clutch ,a buddy of mine has one on his soft tail takes no pressure at all to pull in the lever . The only thing is there is really no feeling to the clutch. I stalled the bike leaving his driveway and yes he still likes to remind me of that

I am! Don't bother yourself to much. It's just the weather.
