Title: Why is the ground so hard??? Post by: 94rmx250 on February 08, 2010, 01,24:49 PM Went to Neerim on Sunday, was having a ball and then decided to do an express dismount.....
i now have a dislocated right AC joint and the makings of one hell of a bruise one my right leg - is currently rather swollen and the bruising is just starting to appear... My advice, and you may all want to take this, dont fall off!!!! ;) Wont be riding for at least a month but will see you all at the next meeting, Dustin Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard???

Only got 6.5 from the East German judges. Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard??? Post by: 94rmx250 on February 09, 2010, 01,36:44 PM Thanks guys - the bruises on the legs are starting to look pretty dam impressive!!
as tempting as the long weekend sounds will i made arrangements for the long weekend about a week before you posted it.... maybe next time!! Mat - i dont think the dismount would have even got a 6.5 - but i sure as hell aint gonna be practising to improve it - not deliberatly anyway!!! Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard???

you should have about 5 days off work with that, check out the TAC post that a bloke put up........ oh hang on, that's you ! Just easier not to fall off, once you have worked out how to do that, let me know........ Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard??? Post by: 94rmx250 on February 11, 2010, 02,29:20 AM i wish it was the leg that was the sore part.... that only hurts if i knock it... its the blurdy shoulder thats pooting me!!!!!

Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard??? Post by: Frankie-boy on February 27, 2010, 10,46:37 AM Hi'ya Dustin.
Remember me, I was on that ride when you had that big crash. How's the shoulder & leg mate? I just joined up, I had a bit of a look through the pic's & I see a few faces I know, so it's good to know that I'm not totally new here ;D I've looked for a introduce my self section,it seems like there isn't one. Anyway I'm 63 years young, & ride a G450X I'm looking to get out on the trails with some ppl around my age. Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard???

Shoulders coming along well, have been having physio for the past couple of weeks and should be able to lose the sling tomorrow (fingers crossed!). the leg has turned out to be the bigger issue, still alot of swelling (looks like i've got a small tit on my leg!) and causes a reasonable amount of discomfort.... Good to see you've joined - you wont regret it!! How's the beemer coming along - i saw you'd had some axle issues?? I'm sure Mat R will be happy to have you along for some of his rides - from what i gather he developed a soft spot for the beemers on a demo ride!! You'll have to try ang get along to the next meeting on the last wednesday in March and we'll have a beer and a catch up!! Dustin Title: Re: Why is the ground so hard???

Dustin No trouble with the axle,it was the rear wheel bearings the beemer run a three bearing hub, I noticed a very little movement in them, I thought it would do one more ride, Wrong the two bearings on the drive side destroyed them selves, as a result it damaged the inner tube a little & the spacer on the drive side, & guess what, BMW didn't have any in stock, was told it would take two weeks to come from Germany. I got my mate Benny to make the tube & stainless steel spacers for me & got me back on the trail. It's good to hear that you will be back on the bike again soon mate,I will try to get to the next meeting, & have a beer with ya. Mat R, if you are thinking of getting a beemer, you better talk to me first, I've got a story to tell. |
