Well, I overshot a jump and tore my Achilles. 0/10 do not recommend. Had surgery yesterday and I'm now bed ridden for 2 weeks so off to Vital I go.
PSA - move your feet up when you have a big landing, I have a bad habit of landing on the balls of my feet. This pic is from a few months ago. Ugh.
But anyway the real point of this thread is my sick new whip. Picked this bad boy up off marketplace instead of "leasing" one through my insurance. And decided to pimp it out moto style.
Here's how she came home
Added some hand guards because you never know what I'll crash into
My buddy Jbulz suggested some moto grips for added control, I just happened to have some old ODIs laying around
And of course, stickers.
Everyone that saw it at the hospital loved it

sticker kit? check.
black rims? check.
grippy seat? check.
Needs a number plate.

BTW, nice ride! Imagine your inability to get around without that thing. I wish you well on your recovery...Vital definitely helps with that needed moto fix when you're laid up!
Looks good! Heal up soon!
This is Nick's dad, he told me about the injury. I hope your surgery went well and you are now on the way to recovery. Also thanks so much for the help you have given Nick with bike work.
Take Care

A crossbar pad, too!
Good luck.
I'm sooo looking forward to PT lol. I just want to get out of this bed and move. But the docs said the first few days/ weeks are really important
And I love the dirt at meadow, never been there until this year and, me and my son went 7-10 times in 2 1/2 months, so fun.
I have spun more laps at Meadow than I care to think about lol, prep is always good. If you liked Meadow make sure you go check out Arkansaw now, its all redone and so much fun. Kinda like Meadow on steroids.
I see you're in Cambride, I did my achilles over the big jump at Mora...Still don't know wtf I was thinking but went so long it's embarassing haha.
I stole this pic from my buddy and added my trajectory LOL.
