:cry
Well, I just did my 600 mile oil change and am ready to rip on my new friend. I am also in the process of building my house. We were moving 2 oil tanks into the basement and the legs collapsed on the one tank and CRUSHED my middle and ring finger on my right hand. It is bad enough that I am right-handed and now have to learn how to wipe my ass with my left hand...but that is my breaking hand and more specifically my breaking fingers. The bones are completely fractured in both fingers and my middle finger blew out the end so I have 6 stitches in that one. I have a feeling I will be wearing a splint for a month or so...the best months to ride!!! I want to get one the bike but know I won't be able to crack her open like I want to. Anyone else out there have a similar injury and how difficult is it to ride with splints on the fingers? Any feedback would be great. I am looking for a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
