I've been lucky to never have broken anything so far.

Do they make an AIR BAG for Quads yet. I know someone who can test them. Well after you heal.

Someone really was or still is working on an inflatable streetbike outfit.

Just to add an interesting twist to this story.

Saturday was the hangover hare scramble. This is the the first race I ever won last year on my cannondale in the snow and ice.

I was training for this event when I broke my fibula.

I have a bit of a quirk in that once I set my focus on something it's very hard to shift it. Actually, it's impossible.

So on Saturday morning I found myself, leg heavily taped, sitting on my cannondale in the rain and 40 degree temperatures with 40+ other insane hungover lunatics ready to run this race.

I realized something when the gun went off and I pinned the throttle and raced for the hole shot.

"The sound of my exhaust, drowns out the pain."

The mud was horrible, I shed gloves and goggles before the first lap was over. My grips were so useless that I had to hang on to my throttle housing and my clutch perch, fingers laced through the cables to keep from losing the bars.

By the end of the first lap I was in the lead and never looked back.

1st place finish

When no hand tethers are available. Just use duct tape. Wrap them good and tight. Have a buddy or your wife do the same with your boots to the pegs. :eek:
