Broke my leg today :( , pics inside
I put griptape on my tank to make sure my feet don't slip and I was doing a frogger wheelie with both feet on the tank and everything was going well until the griptape fell off. I fell on the ground and next thing you know I was sitting on my leg with my ankle pointing the wrong way. I got it straight and it got swollen right away. I drove home and relaxed a bit, I wasn't going at the hospital until I noticed my bone was a bit loose. I need to go for surgery tomorrow to put ligements back together and to put pins in I guess.
I wonder if it's legal to ride with a cast on the right foot. I do have a handbrake so I can't see why not.
I'm out for 6 to 8 weeks

Your leg looked like that and you went home without intent on going to the hospital!? haha dude your crazy. When I crashed my arm didn't even look bad at all but I still went to the ER. It just felt a little funny didn't really think it was broken maybe just a major sprain or at max dislocated wrist or something...found out my bone snapped O_o

Tip #2 put some crazy glue under the grip tape hehe. I learned the hard way I hope others don't crash for stupid **** like that and make sure something is well sticked there.

Yeah and you know in Canada it's free health care but you usually have to wait like 4 -6 hours in the emergency wait room before you see a doctor and they usually give you pills and send you home. Today it only took me an hour and I was outta there, but tomorrow is surgery and ill be in all day.

Re: Broke my leg today :( , pics inside
hehe it only took me a couple mins. I told them I was not coming at the hospital until I looked carefully and could move my bone with my hands, is that normal? I don't feel anymore pain cause I took 2 tylenol #3..
They have an emergency ranking system. The room was almost empty but they still called me in first hehe.
