Mj 88 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I enjoyed riding there, other than the fact that it was a soggy mudpit that day. It's a fun place to ride with the elevation changes, small bumps/jumps cut into the trails, and a good sized area to get lost inI was only there once but I enjoyed it. I know we didn't see it all, the guy we were riding with didn't seem to know his way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricer1 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good Luck on the recovery. In April 2008 I hit a deer on my bike at night and broke my shoulder blade and collar bone. Four weeks later I bought a new FZ1 and two weeks after that I was riding. Six weeks total recovery time for a 50 year old, at the time. Hope you have a speedy recovery and are back in the saddle soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks ricer1, any tips for rehab? I tried your easy button but it didn't work. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricer1 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I went through physical therapy and the therapist gave me shoulder exercises and I did them all. They got me back in shape, I lift four days a week and do high reps, 12-15 to stay in shape. No real long term side effects other than a click in the shoulder now and then when I am lifting weights. In (6) weeks you will recover, four months you will not know it happened. This is from a guy who recovered at the age of 50 years old when the accident happened. Best of luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks, I've been doing some light rehab and I'm getting some movement back. I go back to the Dr. on Tuesday for another Xray to see how it's healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Glad to hear you're OK. I concur about adrenaline being a helluva pain killer. Your situation is why I don't like riding alone. If you had went off into a ditch and no one saw you...and your injuries were worse.....anyways.. Glad to hear the gear did its job too. Get back on 2 as soon as you can if that's what you decide to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks MJ and InyaAzz, It will take a hell of a lot more then a broken shoulder blade to keep me off of two wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mj 88 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just got back from the Dr. No real change. So dose anybody have any ideas what a bored one armed man can do for money and or fun. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Went back to the Dr today, its growing back together. But it looks like another 2/4 weeks before I get back to work. On the bright side me and the little one have never spent so much time together. I'm getting really good at playing sick for the 3 year old Dr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
