[Griff 64]

Ah well its only taken me "28 years" to break something.
Don,t hurt mind and luck a even bigger donkey with a cast on.Good jod ive got a angle grinder!

Anyone got any personal experience of recovery times riding etc.

8 weeks.

Last year I broke my left radius. It was split lengthways from the wrist back, about 3-4 inches. I raced 5 weeks later, but it took that long for me to pull the clutch in (plus plenty of painkillers).

Don't rush it, and do do the physio - I didn't and I now have restricted movement of my left wrist/arm.

Good luck mate

Griff - did you get my message yesterday with Brian Simpsons phone number?
He is a whizz at getting broken racers sorted out

[fil2]

let it heal properly m8...dont rush to get on track and perhaps inflict long-term damage..it is after all only a club race series and your health is far more important.....the last you thing you want is the risk of another " off " with an already weak wrist...
