The guy on the 750 had been ragging the Buell so i was leading them thru the twisties. Had em pushing hard. We got to a couple flowing corners with straight aways and they passed me.
I reeled them in in the next tighter section, looking to repass. I have relived it from every angle, it had the old year and a half OEM tire but proper pressure, no steering damper, and i had changed my damping and preload for an experiment. It was just too fast for the setup.

The corner i fell in was actually a double chicane, tight, and i was running close to 65.

What are the screws on the far end screwed into? X-ray almost makes it look like there isnt' bone there.

The end nugget was disintegrated, he did find 3 slivers for the screws. When he goes in to remove the plate he will check them for bone growth and union. If nothing has done he will remove the end peices. No worries as there are no ligaments or muscles for that part...

So have you learned not to fvck with an R1 and a GSXR 750 ?

100% kidding and hope you make a full recovery man. I was laid up for a long time several years back and it is NO fun trying to get back to "normal".

Well they called me boring and uncompetitive, so I gave it the old college try...

Shit like this happens when you ride. I accept it and go on. Not getting to ride is torture tho...

You waited 2 months before doing anything about it??? You're crazy

My ex shattered his left collarbone, quite similar to yours, surgery within 2wks of his crash gave him a 5.5" plate and 8 screws that he kept for a few months, then had surgery to remove them. He drank what I would call a "normal" amount of milk during his recovery, after each surgery, and is convinced that he saw a difference in his xrays when he slacked off on the calcium-intake.

Looks like you're doing good so far, I don't doubt that the doc wants to keep the plate in longer since there was a lag between the crash and the surgery - leave it for now, see about some calcium in some form if you're not a milk person (I'm not at all), and when it does come out, do your physical therapy.

Good luck!!

I am and have been taking a zinc/calcium/magnesium supplement, my regular multivitamin and drinking a glass of milk per night. I get milk in my cereal and an occaisonal Coke float which isnt doing much for my inactive weight gain...

Thanks for the well wishes tho!!
