Bought my new Raptor in February. Broke my wrist the next week,so I didn't get to ride for about 7 weeks. Went to Little sahara in Oklahoma as soon as cast was off. Had a blast on the Raptor. The greatest purchase I have made. Anyway made another trip to LS again nothing but fun. Then I was involved in a car crash breaking my femur. I now have a metal rod running from my hip to my knee that will be with me forever. So the raptor sits and all I have are the forums to live and ride through for now. Will not be able to ride for atleast 6 months they tell me,but things could be alot worse I am lucky I walked away at all. Not to mention I turned 30 in March.LOL Ride hard and have fun........

 

That BITES
I know exactly how you feel though
I just got a 2004 Honda Sportrax 250 about a month ago....just started riding about 2 ½ months ago
The other night I crashed into a tree stump...broke my shoulder in 2 spots. Doc says its gonna take at least 3 months to heal...a month and a half before I can even move my arm at all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Could have been worse...could have been my back
My hubby,kids and everyone else are tellin me to sell it now...buy no WAY am I giving up riding! Its in my veins now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

~Ditto~

 

I severily sprained my ankle and was on cruches for about 6 weeks....the doc said I couldnt ride untill like a month after I was of crutchs..well they said I could but I would have to take it really easy...which is no fun what so ever lol...sorry to hear the bad news..hope you heal up quick

 

know how you feel stepped back off the side of my wifes durango and something tore inthe calf muscle. been on crutches for a week now there'll be no Z riding for A while[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

remember it could always of been worse.

I still gotta sit around for more than a month for my bike to come into the dealership [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] at least you all have a bike you can crawl onto right now and work with.. If i had that much time on my hands i would customize some things on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

lol....no...I couldnt go outside really because we lived on a farm...so it ws muddy (end of winter so everthing was melting and stuff) and I couldnt make it out to the quad...and I would have rather broken my ankle then sprained it... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck 04Raptor... but just keep your head up. I wish you the best...and congrats on being 30!

 

Sorry to hear that, really! Just take care of yourself because you have those 2-little ones that need you around and healthy. I have a princess 5-year old daughter and a fire cracker 20-month old son too, I really need to keep a tight leash on the little guy...he gets me a little worried at times. I use to have no fear of death or injury...now things are different. Good luck bro.

 

And the streak continues....Had to go to the hospital last Friday with a blood clot in my left leg.Spent the whole weekend there. Was supposed to go back to work July 12th looking more like August now. I wish I could go out and work on my Raptor but with the blood clot I am back on bed rest for a while. I know that I am very lucky to be alive after seeing my Jeep and things could be alot worse. I would love to be out riding but now I am just thankful that I get to spend time with my wife and kids. My boy asks me everyday if we can go for a ride and it is just killing me to tell him we can't.So we continue to read dirt wheels and visit the forums. Thanks for all the replys. I hope that you all heal fast and get back out and ride soon. I swear I am not turning 31 next year..LOL
