Default good news bad news

found out yesterday that in a month i will have the money to finally get a raptor. waiting for the red and white one to come out and it's mine. the bad news is i went to see a surgeon about my wrist and found out there going to do a bone graph and put a screw in my wrist. for what they told me was a sprained and jammed wrist turned out to be a broken scaphoid. but it's been 3 months. now after the surgery next week i will have a cast on for 3 months. so this is a crappy way to celebrate my happiness for a new raptor. it's my left wrist but they are going to cast my thumb also so i wont be able to grip. can't even play atv fury.

Dude that sucks, but at least you have something to really look forward too when you get the cast off.

oh comeon man its not as bad as you may think, I had a broken wrist with a cast on all the up to my shoulder almost and yes it covered my thumb and it was on my right arm. Believe it or not i rode fourwheeler, drove my car, played every ps 2 game that i have and then some. I mean yeah i could do all this but not nearly as good as i can now and yes i was in a cast for 15 weeks and like 3 days to be exact

Maybe now if you don't just love the raptor you could save up some more and get the yfz450. By that time we should know if it's more powerful than a raptor and what it's potential is. The raptor is also something really good to look forward to
