Sometimes working as a motorcycle technician puts you on less than worthy machines. I had one this morning with brake failure. Very low speed crash into another unit. No damage to the units. Can't say the same for my foot, 2 1/2" laceration and a broken bone. The "sheath" for a tendon was also cut, with the tendon getting nicked. I'm out for a while.

Where were your leather riding boots... just razzing you... That really sucks but I thought that crap only happened to me... Hope you heal up quick

I was just going to PM you about the pickup. BUT I guess you have been busy eating pain killers .... LOL

Down time all depends on whether or not the tendon tears or stays in tact. Still plannin on the Destin Waverunner release in 11 days. Hopefully the bleeding will have stopped by then and maybe the stitches can come out. This weekend, think I'll stay home and recover a bit.

When I lanced my finger open I could peel the skin back and move my finger and watch the tendons move. It was neato.

A word of andvice. Next time sacrafice the bikes not your body.

Hey Barbara, I just thought of something. Maybe we should warn Gump and Quickmick to go easy on the lower leg area...1/2 of the people in the delivery of your/Micks ski have jacked up legs/feet!:lightning: WATCH IT GUYS!!!
 
I thought I had a rough week at work, but that stinks.
I can't believe you worked all week, I think I'd still be sitting on my ass after something like that.
