Very sorry about the crash. You have certainly received more than your share of bad luck this year. Maybe its time to load up that scoot with lights like some of the vespa guys.  Bad things come in pairs to me, this year my house got broken in by burglars twice, and now I crash twice as well; wonder if I play lottery would win twice? Lol. |

spandi's right, at least with me. Just can't get all that turned on by scars. Of course, that could be 'cause I've got more than my fair share of them on knees, wrists, elbow, toe... And semo's right, I do want to smack some sense into my dear ricardo. I didn't know you've been buzzing around with a still-healing leg. Bad rico. BAD dog! Smack smack smack! You ask that dr when it's safe for your healing to drive again. Period. Like I'm going to do with my foot dr when I see him in a couple of Mondays. "So Doc, I assume scooting is out for the rest of the season. Will next spring be okay though? Please?" (big eyes, although he seems immune to the kitty-'Kat plead) It's one continuing reason why Peej only has about 2500 miles on him. I keep ending up with some sort of surgery or another that takes me off the scooting list. SIGH! Seriously, follow the dr's advice. Mine has already declared I may not play piano at the Jazz band gig 10 days after my surgery--repeat, am NOT to do the piano thing. Which is another question--why not? Not like I play piano with my toes. But he has said no, so no it is. Kidding aside, heal up quickly, and take care of yourself. And I'm so sorry it happened twice. Once was terrible, twice is just...well...it's...heck, I don't know a word awful enough for it. Sux beyond sux. >'Kat Did you get the surgery already? How did it go? |

Is the scoot on a flat surface? is the engine hot or cold?

I don't think when Kat sees this she's going to "dig it"  Kat will be apoplectic when she sees this thread. Kat--->  <---ricardo Ricardo, man, you've had the worst of luck, I don't know how you keep such a good attitude. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery, my friend. Clearly you are one die-hard scooter fanatic. JD |

Driver less cars is the only solution, no matter how hard are the laws, laws can be broken, and you need a cop on every corner to effectively enforce them.

Not again! Might consider waiting a bit longer before riding while this is healing up. I just picked up some level 3 riding jeans with Kevlar yesterday along with a replacement helmet and will be starting the repairs on my bike tomorrow however I waited 60 days for the knee to heal before riding again and will not ride without ATGATT now. At my age things don't heal as fast as they used to so I can't afford to be hasty. Get back in the saddle however please wait long enough to be fully healed up first. Just for curiosities sake where were you in the lane as you were coming up on this. You gotta stay out of the dead zones to limit exposure to these types of events. A dash cam may be a consideration too since they many times will catch the plate number or enough info to track down the responsible party. I just picked up a couple and started using one in the Spider and have it looping on a 32 gig memory card. I usually ride next to the lane division line, the cager didn't look for incoming traffic when he made the turn, if I where driving a truck he would be dead or seriously injured. |

I can't imagine what it must be like for you to have to go through this AGAIN!  All I can say is to stay off of it and follow whatever the doctor says. STOOPID CAGER!  I'm amazed at how fast things happened this time, last time I had to wait a week with a cast on until I got the surgery, this time I got the surgery the next day and was off the hospital the day after the surgery, I was off the crutches the 3rd day, I feel like Wolverine  |

I have no idea how they remove the bent rod   That's not my knee, that's the place where the rod bent. |

Sorry to here of this (I can't believe it!) of all the things to Happen! Same advice as before: rest and follow the doctors orders. BTW, if you're still going to be riding, find those armored boots! Definitely will get the boots, bones are not as though as we think, this time the rod helped keep the bones in their place, but they did fracture, the recovery has been quicker than the first time, the leg didn't swell as much and it didn't hurt as much after the surgery, I was off the crutches after almost 3 weeks the first time, this time I was walking around normally after 3 days. I will take a few months off the scoot to allow a full recovery, I guess the insurance company is not happy with me, lol. |
