Sorry to hear this. I can feel you pain.
I met with my orthopedic surgeon today. I completely tore my distal bicep tendon...tore it right off the bone. Recovery is 4-6 months
I've chased and been chased by that Z for many of those 21k miles.
An easy way to pick it up is to get a one way rental car (Avis) and ride it home. I've bought many bikes that way.
I busted my ass to get back on 2 wheels last year after neck/nerve issues. Life got me again just when I wasn't expecting it.
I'll make it back in time for next season, and I'll ride to the gap next year.
So...anyone want to buy a V Star?
I'm not sweating the surgery at all, but this recovery is going to suck. 6 weeks in an elbow brace, followed by at least 2 months of rehab. It won't be 100% for 6-8 months.
That's what the surgeon said. I hurt it a few weeks ago exercising, but thought it was fine. Then again and it popped badly. It wasn't terribly painful, but the sound was unmistakable
