| Chicken Strips Joined: Aug 2010 From: Federal Way, WA I Ride: in a vanpool | Rick had an over inflated front tire (both actually) after a tire swap; the tire got greasy at the end of the first session and he broke everything he just fixed... Just to be clear, I consider the responsibility of checking the tire pressure after a tire swap mine so don't misunderstand this... I failed and will be paying for it. Just a quick note for the new kids: Don't take anything the experienced riders tell you for granted; it is ALL important. Anyway, he saw an orthopedic surgeon today and got pics taken; no broken bones but that wasn't much of a surprise. Off to see the MR machine tomorrow but if everything goes okay it will just be some PT and back on the road. The bike is a different story... It idled on its side for over 2 minutes; likely it needs bearings replaced and there is at least $1.5K in just plastic, levers, and a foot peg. Wouldn't it be great if... bikes could heal like humans? A little PT and they are all better with minimal scarring... Last edited by rmorten; 06-26-2012 at 08:05 PM.. |
