Quote:Currently working on learning how to walk again, after my second ride on my tdm ended with major fractures and a new titanium rod in my left leg. Looking forward to getting it repainted and throwing knobby tires on it, once I can get back to work.

WTF!

Quote:Ouch! Good luck with your recovery. :good:

Quote:Wet grass and street tires don't mix well. It's been a long five months with more to go, but I'm patiently waiting to start working on my new bike again. Plenty of work to do too. At least for a bike with only 16k miles on the clock...



Thank you so much. It's going well I suppose. The boredom is the worst, besides the financial hit.

Quote:Hope all goes well for both you and the bike. I also have had experience of wet grass but not as bad as yours.

Quote:It's crazy that the least severe wreck I've had on a bike, caused the most damage. I've walked away from some gnarly wipeouts, but this is the first time I had to belly crawl away from one. Completely shattered tib/fib about 4" above ankle and also had a clean break just below the knee.
