I was riding my HONDA RINCON 650cc quad bike this arvo ,i was having good fun but got a little carried away and flipped it,my reflexes save me from more servere damage but i did manage to break my wrist.
Gotta go get a full cast on Monday.

OUCH That puppy is going to sting
Whoops....
Sorry to hear that.
Ouch.
ok
I've never told ya cumuator
but quad bikes are dangerous
don't you know that?
my brother has his girls riding them on their property (I shudder every time I see the pics)
bloody dangerous bikes
trade the thing in a 2 wheeler mate
maybe ? get yourself a good ag bike
ps - sympathy to you regardless of how you did it (and mumsie Robbie trusts that you were wearing a helmet ?)
I hope that it isn't too painful over the week-end mate
I have broken a wrist before (NOT on motorbikes - jolly basketball!!) so I can feel your pain!!
OUCH!
Hope it doesn't take too long to get back to normal.
A lady that I work with, lost her Grand Daughter recently in a quad bike accident. She was riding near Lancelin as a passenger with her boyfriend and had an accident. She was killed and now he faces homicide charges.
"the things we men do to get some attention."
Thanks for all the replies,the funny thing is it did'nt really hurt for about 15/20 minutes after i did it but the pain was very intense until they put an ice pack on it and gave me a tramal ,about 20 minutes after that i did'nt give a shite LOL.
Because it's a 650cc it has got some awesome power so it's a huge adrenaline rush when your getting right into it.
I've been riding bikes of all types since i was a wee lad as i grew up on dairy farm and this is the first time i've done any real damage to myself,so i've been pretty lucky.
Panamax is enough to keep the pain under control now as they put a back slab cast on it to give some solid support for a sling.
Monday i'll get a full cast for 4 weeks the doctor said so it can't be too bad a break.
"the things we men do to get some attention." LOL
I'm just an adrenaline junky and this bike has the capability to give it to you in huge quantities.
Triggersmob,sorry to hear of your work friends very sad and unfortunate loss.
slowest noodling time now you will take twice as long
Sorry to hear about the accident and injury Accumulator. Hope you're on the mend soon.
I assume the bike suffered as well?
Pedro
hahaha,AC noodling will be very difficult indeed.
thanks Pedro, no damage at all to the bike,thankfully as it would have hurt a lot more if i'd broken the bike as well as me.
Ouch.
I rolled a quad bike on myself once in the thistles and all they cared about in emergency was rousing on me for not wearing a helmet. I had stupidly taken the bike into the bull paddock as I was scared of the bull, I should have walked, Dave was never going to hurt me, but he was a big bull. I was pulling thistles out of my head for days after. Luckily I never broke anything.
Norti PP you SHOULD ALWAYS wear a helmet
By the sounds of your story Dave the bull (not Bruce - ha ha) was probably just as scared of the thistle laden human!
Good to hear that the strapping is doing the job painwise accummulator
Im not convinced that quads are safe
But it sounds like u know what u are doing with it
They are fun but once they flip _ well, you're cactus (IMO)
Get better soon
Though , milk it for all u can
No washing up, no sweeping, no pegging clothes on the line
And so on :-)
sorry to hear that , A C , you get back on it as soon as you can and
show it who is the :big_boss:
,, KEL ,,
ha ha Robbie it was Dave, not Bruce.
Yes you can-not do all sorts of things now along the lines or work and housework and yard duties, great excuse having a busted arm.
Oh Robbie was that an intended cactus prickle joke :winkextra:
What a silly thing to go and do. (QUOTE from Kenneth MOORE from the movie Reach For The Sky after being informed that he had crashed his plane and was about to loose both his legs).
we need you around accumulator
look after yourself matie
who is goanna outbid me on pretty 1964 pennies, if you're not around .... hummm??????
LOL,Yeah Yeah, truth be known your probably sitting there saying that so &so outbid me again.:laugh2:,just kiddin.:good:
Did you see the blue & purple one on ebay about a week ago,went for $33,obverse was'nt good enough for me to have a crack at that price

BTW i still have my typing hand so i can still bid,it was my left hand side that i broke,i would have been in to reply this morning but the stupid computer or more to the point bloody norton ID safe decided it was going to make my day,SOB would'nt let me do anything,after i cooled down i was thinking about it & realised we have ways of making this work & i did.( pretty happy with myself being able to out smart a computer LOL )
ha ha
good on you
I spent 4 hours one evening with Norton help desk
it had completely locked up my system
got to love computers - I am gradually adjusting to my new one - goo thing is - it has automatic spellcheck no matter where I am i.e. here, ebay etc
that '64 almost looks like an end of roll penny doesn't it?
speaking of colourful coins - I have been sorting through my colours
ended up with a few pages of gorgus toned pennies - some quite spectacular but probably no where as nice as PP's colourful coins
they now make all the rest look dreadfully drab
i'm even becoming a full red snob and coins that I have adored for years are now being down graded to my numis 'stock'albums
Hahaha, snobbing the reds,hmmm i've been known to do it myself mate but there are some that i just would'nt/could'nt walk past iykwim.
Quotei'm even becoming a full red snob and coins that I have adored for years are now being down graded to my numis 'stock'albums
You Can't hate them that much numis albums are full of PVC :dash1:
are they?
I have the ones with the myler (?) sort of slide in insert
I've had coins in them for many years and they still look in very good nick to me
I just put my better/above average or colourful coins in them (pennies, halfpennies and my decimals now)
I thought they were safe for storing coins?

2-3 years maybe if the coins are in 2x2 Mylar flips.
I burnt all my Numis albums because I found out ( from the supplier ) that they contained PVC :kez_11:
The insert slide is fine however the pages are still pvc. The slides are not sealed so the pvc can still leach in.
I was going through my numis albums late last night
the hubby could see that I was very upset as I scoured each page of coins
darn it!!
the PVC 'leaching'will dull toned coins won't it?
I just pop my better than average, colours, mid range + etc in them
I thought i'd move my full reds that are not quite as perfect as I'd like them, just into the numis pages as I have quite a lot of them
maybe I am better off to chuck them into my old penny tins, the pennies that come in them seem to be fine
and it is easy to have the 20 coins in such a small page
PP - a marketing suggestion for your business could be for a similar type of album made from the legal stuff
a size between the small and the large albums?
speaking of things that can wrong and getting back on topic :winkextra:
How is our boy?
All plastered and everything back where it's supposed to be??
not too much pain I hope xx
bump
how are you going ACCUMM?
Bloody hell Accu, sorry I didn't see this earlier. I have a few days off and you have all the fun :winkextra: hope it's going well mate :good:
G'day Robbie, I got a new full cast now,wrist has a piece broken off of the end of the bone in your arm ( don't know what it's called ),6 weeks with the cast on,bugga .
Have been taking pain killers to dull the throbbing,when they changed to full cast the brusing was pretty,blue & purple LOL,hopefully the pain will subside some very soon.
AJ, I was having a lot of fun before it happened,but not much fun since.
hey acumms
sorry possum
pain is a drag
I googled arm bone names and got these pics
and lucky me - I found drawing of classic cycling breaks in the hand and adjoining arm bones!!
so maybe it's your ulna or radius
looks like the pushbike riders get similar injuries
I think that my break years ago was similar to that scaphoid fracture - had a cast on for about 6 weeks - it was itchy as too under the cast

Yeah I hear ya, keeping it elevated might help..but not as much as the pain killers :mocking:
Yeah, i gotta hold it up above my head when it gets real bad.
Robbie,i believe it was the radius,the rounded end bit on one side.
an anatomy lesson never hurts
watch that pressure pain accums
if it goes worse get it checked
xx
No worries Robbie, i gotta go have another Xray on Wednesday,to make sure everything is as it should be.
