Broke My Damn Left Hand & Had Surgery

[Neil-3446]

Well crap!!!

Broke my left hand last week and had to have surgery Monday. Titanium plates and screws installed :damn angry:

Was tightening the rotor bolts on my new wheel when I snapped one off thus smashing my hand into the frame. 2nd worse break the surgeon had seen on the #5 metacarpal.

Looks like I won't be working on the bike or using my clutch hand for several weeks :bang head:

I'm already in 2 Shot a 760 series one handed in Saturday's local tournament (209-299-252). I think the percocet had something to do with it :confused2:

Yeah...

I found that with larger back wheels and tires it's much easier to install the wheel if you put the rotor on after getting the wheel splined up.

I was pulling up on the allen wrench left handed instead of pushing it, and then...snap---smash---crack.

Neil, air impact gun works wonders. Pretty cheap at Sears or Harbor Freight.

Your clutch hand no less. I have a hard enough time handling the clutch with mine at 100%.

 

[ROB06]

DAMN! I can't believe that...:surprise: Tightening the bolts on the rotors and this happens? Jease...

Do you have an existing problem that caused this? :ummm:

 

[Neil-3446]

Chris...

The bolt snapped, and my left hand went crashing into the tail frame section above. I was pulling up on the allen bolt and snap crash :damn angry:.

No prior damage at all to my left hand.

Existing problem=shitty luck this year.
