I figured you guys would get a kick out of this.

This is on top of a burnt up cylinder. No riding for me. :linemup: :burp:

Oh muther fuck. Dude :banghead: :banghead:

Damn it man what in the hell did you do?

Fuck it!! That ain't your throttle arm!! What'cha worried about?

Start eating those vicodins and have at it!!

BTW, what the hell did you fall off to land on that elbow? You got more hardware in that arm than I got in my entire spine!!

have fun at the airport metal detector!!

ya aint missing much riding right now anyways!!

damn that sucks

Its casted so i cant extend it at all, cant reach the handle bars. I am making a PEZ dispencer for the vicodins.

The ladder slid out from under me while hanging christmas lights. I landed on the ladder which was laying on the concrete I was about 15' up. I broke it good.

But I got insurance for that. I don't have insurance on my SRX that burnt up the piston :banghead: looks like its going in the shop for the better part of the winter. I cant wrench very good with the one arm

That looks like it hurt. Sorry to hear about that

Not only do those staples look like pain and a half, that bruise has got to feel good when you bump into shit!

Your wife told me you had 5 pins, looks like 8 to me.

Ouch, bummer, I hope you heel soon!

That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had that happen to me in 2003. Broke my colar bone right in half. A metal plate and 6 screws later, and i was good to go. Take the medicine like its candy and enjoy how the couch feels for a while. I caught up on A LOT of sleep when i was broken. All i can say is keep ice packs on it.

you should be ready for some late season riding (or atleast keep your hopes up for that)

Fuck ya 8 screws, I was out for the 40 staples but not when they pulled them out yesterday.

You need to bring my tralor Back so i can load my sled on it. Then you need to wrench off my motor next week. hard to wrench with one paw

Dude, that's going to be one bad azz scar. I Hope you have a speedy recovery!

That Sucks hopefully you will be ready for some late season riding

right when i first saw that picture, My first thought was a ladder sliding out from under you, Seriously!!
that is too weird. \

Seen it happen to one guy, I even warned him that he had it upside down before it happened. his proud moment? not spilling the beer he was holding!! he was messed up bad also,

A pez dispenser shouldn't need any mods for vicodin, the vicodin EX's might be a little large though.

I am suprised the didn't set you up with oxy-contin or MS-contin for that.

Thanks for all the concern fellas.

Just for the record the ladder was set up correctly. The problem was the two sections separated and cracked the frame. So the ladder flexed in the middle changing the angle that the pawls (feet) were on the ground. Causing the massive failure of my snowmobile season. The ladder landed flat the I proceded to land directly on my forearm which landed on the friggen beam of the ladder. Sure could of used someone to butt the ladder. But you know how it goes when you put something off untill the last possible hour before the wife gets home.

That type of break sucks.Broke my arm in 82 right in front of the elbow.Only had 1 screw,no cast.Do they have to leave any of the screws in,or are they all to come out?
Best of luck :div20:

The bottom bone (ulna) was shattered and pushed passed the top bone (radius). I get to keep all the screws forever. The surgon said that some times people get the plate removed because its so close to the surface. Once in awhile the plate will come through the skin. Not something to look forward to.

yeah..... but think if we get into a bar fight, you could elbow someone in the face with that plate. LOL...

For sure, like will smith in I robot

an extension ladder with a crack at the joint?

That is some scary shit, I was using a 24 footer to reach the top of a 2-story log cabin installing a DirecTv dish and the ladder seemed unusually wiggly that day, coming down something pinched my finger, when I peeked at the back side of the ladder to see what bit me, I found both sides cracked about 6-inches down the sides right at the metal joints that hold the upper section (werner Blue ladder) That had me freaked out for at least a week. Got that sucker replaced with the orange model same day, and we used a sawzall to cut up the old one so nobody would try and salvage it.

get well soon, Seems like your already used to typing one-handed. Did you learn that from visiting porn sites?

Damn, I feel sorry for you that looks like it REALLY f-ing hurt, and I bet it sounded even worse!!! I had my right knee dislocated back in high school and it STILL bothers me to this day!!! Blowing up the Yammi seems like the f-ing icing on the cake!!! Again, sorry man!!!

:smilielol: :smilielol:

I think he is typing on his PDA, so it's pretty easy to type one handed. But the porn sites probably contributed!

Werner ladders are a POS. The flysection actually seperated when it flexed. All my ladders will be fire rated in the future.

I one hand type on my phone/internet most of the time but the porn sights really helped out.

next year fuck the xmas lights :div20:

Had my plate and my 6 screws taken off of my colar bone. Leave the shit in if it doesnt bother you, i re-broke my colar bone right in half again when i had it taken out. Bout a month after the plate was taken out, i was back under the knife and i had the plate put back in, and it will be in untill i needs to come out.

ps. now that i have had the plate in there for a while i sit and wonder, what happens if the screw gets striped out going in, do the garb it with a vise grips and take it out and shit like that? lol after 3 surgerys of 6 screws comming in and out, you think about werid shit when you recover. (my plate is right under the skin)

how big of a deal was it to take out. Im leaving mine in if at all possible. My plate just under the skin too. Im sure they back the screws out.

Wasnt a big deal at all, i was knocked out when they did it lol. no it was just like when they put it in, same recovery time, but the doctor pretty much said to be a pussy and dont do anything to stressful. Didnt hurt as much after the removal surgurey. Keep the screws and shit in

YOU fuck the x-mas lights!! :lol2: :smilielol:

Well.... I would guess that they wont bother taking out UGYFD's plate because I doubt that he will grow at all anymore. Where in your case, I bet thats why they took it out, so you could grow a little bit without the plate being under stress or messing up your bones.

That talk of stripping out a screw thats in a bone sounds pretty nasty business. YEOW!

i did thats why their still in the basement :div20:

:beerchug:

No one should be FU**ING any lights

Exactly.......

Dude that sucks,hope ya have a fast recovery. mabey i can add an idea for next year, forget the lights and use next yr. for riding. I'll have a few for ya. :linemup:

I don't know why this bullshit can't happen at a better time, like the summer. I could sit around in the sun drinking beers and giong to baseball games

if you would not have broken your arm (More like shattered it) we still would have no snow, now that you are out for the season we get snow!!

it is that fucking Murphy guy and all his stupid laws!!

Murphy's 2nd law; Whatever can possibly go terribly wrong, will go wrong!! and at the worst possible moment!!

Murphy's 1'st law; Don't mess with Mrs. Murphy

Wait till you run out of thse vicodins, the first couple days it really sucks, then it gets better from there.

Depending on how long you have taking them, some common withdrawal symptoms could be restless legs, the sweats, irritabilty.
Give it a week, you'll get back to normal. (been there, done that after my 2nd of 3 spinal surgeries)

party pooper :smilielol: :smilielol:

Well, if you got your cast off at the end of summer you would have a nice tan everywhere and one albino looking arm!

I think im going to store up some of the pain pills so I can eat them while im out of work. If my friends stop trying to get there hands on them.

All kidding aside I was given the offical OK, by the wife, to get a new sled. Im thinking in March, since I cant ride this year anyway. I think this is the best time to buy, does that sound rite? Im thinking a 2006 yamaha 4 stroke, or zr 900. Anyone know of any deals, or any really good dealers?

I hate to bring up old shit but I figured I would show you where I fell from. But the cast does come off in three days, then its a removeable brace for 6 weeks. Just in time for my trip up north the second weekend if march, I hope. I fell from the peek over the garage next to the truck, on the concrete.

Your lucky it was only your arm!!!!!!!!!! Good luck on the recovery, you will be able to predict the weather better than the evening news after you heal up for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad pain in arm? Snowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!! let us know when it starts to hurt. LOL
Hope you heal up great so you can ride soon~!!! :div20:

So it looks like I will get to ride the second weekend in March. I will be heading to the Rhinelander area, what do you think the likelyhood of good trails then. what do you think?

Pray for snow! Great Ice base on most of the trails, and still decent snow in woods, so if/when we get some measurable WET snow things should be great!

You should be giving those things out to your friends like crazy since they(me) has helped you wrench on that SRX for how many hours.... ahhh..... my back hurts from leaning over the sled..... ahhhh.......


quit falling off your roof and get that damn shed build so we have a reasonable place to wrench on the sleds.....

I hope everyone is careful this summer/fall. Dont fuck up you winter by busting your shit. If you need to be on a ladder get a butt man. IMO

So, does this mean you get to ride this season?

This meens I get to ride like the wind.

Do me a favor: Tell you wife that your NOT putting up christmas lights this year!!!
