Eish!! Sorry to hear about the bashing, always 'not a good thing'.

All the best with the op, and a speedy recovery. I know all too well the frustration of not being able to ride for an extended period of time---TWICE!!!

Unfortunately, car drivers in general, don't give a stuff about anybody else on the roads, even fellow idiots!!! All drivers should be made to ride a bike for 3 months as part of their licence test, might lead to more bike awareness, and fewer 'I did not see you' incidents.Shocked

Been there, done that and got a thousend T-shirts. Mine was my left shoulder bone going down to the arm. Took me 5 months to recover, but still have a problem with the shoulder.

Anyway good luck, hope your recovery is good and quick.

Ok... went for x-rays and follow-up to the doctor this morning and it seems that I'm nearly as fit as a fiddle again What a Face

The doctor is of the opinion that I should rather avoid the serious off-road stuff for another 6 weeks, but road/gravel riding is OK for now!

Interesting fact - when the bone is finally healed (about 3 months after the break), it will be around 90% its original strength because of the screws that introduce new weak spots. If (touch wood) I should have another hard fall on my right shoulder, chances are that it will be more likely to break at one of the two end screws. If I want the plate removed, I'll have to wait another 5 months, with another 3 after that operation for the screw holes to be filled again. I don't think I will be going that route soon Cool

Speaking about route... you'll hopefully see more of me on the bike than in the bar from now drunken
