Broken Arm Update

[suzkaw]

@larry @mike - I still can't do any curls yet. However I have to hold a 5lb weight and let it stretch my arm out. Since all muscles are gone even that hurts like crazy.

@hugh - No need to feel terrible. It is just part of life. I always thought skate boarding was a dangerous sport. I have broken my arms 8 times before racing motorcycles.

I was the other way round. Broke 29 bones riding on the streets (27 of them in one go), but never so much as a bump or a scrape racing a Ducati in various Brit production racing series for three years.

Man, I miss those days! One of those stories that ends with "and then I had kids". Not that I regret having kids, but I do miss knee surfing out of Druids hairpin at Brands Hatch, dropping back down into the Graham Hill / Cooper / Surtees complex ... not quite The Esses, but so sweet when you get it right (and equally terrifying when you get it wrong!) ... making up places because of the sheer low end torque of the Duke, handling like it's on rails, and the "Brembo Brick Wall Effect" brakes. Then losing all those places on the pit straight because I'm running a (more or less) stock motor ...
