My wife thinks I'm nuts -- listen to this dilemma...
I had my 5th ankle surgery last Monday, but of course still planning on going to Thunder Valley this weekend.
I'm walking ok around the house, but to get around a national is another thing!!!
Also, not riding my motorcycle to the race is out of the question because of the parking situation. I can ride my KLR right up to the entrance and park for free.
Here's my question...
I want to bring my crutches with me so it is easier to get around. Is it crazy to ride my motorcycle with crutches somehow attached to my bike or backpack or something? Am I totally crazy to ride around on a motorcycle with crutches? It sure sounds ridiculous, but hey, I'm ridiculous!

Crutches on a motorcycle? First world problems...
The Shop
The kid right on the back kind of has an 'Indian Incredible Hulk' type look about him going on!!
Bike looks in remarkably good nick, considering the way it appears to get used, doubt whether the clutch lasts too long though!
Boom
I rode my street bike when I was "non-weight-bearing (NW " on BOTH of my legs. You'll be fine.
Someone here posted this photo awhile back so if he can do it you should be fine.
i got a lot of funny looks, but it worked.
i've done the same with crutches, but i would fix them to your back-pack if you can.
Pit Row
Me, (like an idiot) went for a road ride once, packed a coat for the bad weather- somehow I packed it poorly and it worked loose and snagged the front wheel... As I flew over the handlebars, I passed out and woke up 1 minute later with a broken arm!
I am thinking i will just relax and rest up and watch the stream.
Getting old SUX
And it doesn't even have to be your fault.
Thanks for the support!
I've seen a lot of people, especially moto, people not take recovery seriously and also seen the long term effects.
It isn't pretty.
Don't forget ties for the return trip
Look at him and tell me he isn't.
