I feel for you. In a non-motorcycle-related fall, I broke my right arm at the elbow a few weeks after I got my S3. I was sidelined for 12 weeks.

The latest Motorcyclist has an article on a guy who rides with one arm. Amazing stuff. Hang in there and be glad they can put ya back together again.

be very careful with your recovery. this year i cut both flexor tendons on my left index finger. i am now 6 months out and now waiting for the possibility of a second surgery.
will be very easy to re-injure if you don't take it easy!!
good luck!!!

Don't rush it, it'll need the full 6 weeks. Shame it's not a better colour to look at for 6 weeks... :wink:

Ouch..you are so mean 1050Pome. Fair, but mean.
I don't know if its just me, but I see Norton Commando with that white S3 paintjob.
I didn't know what to make of the white version when I first spotted it. Kinda refreshingly different and bold of Triumph, but a bit like the Scrambler.... hard to give good money for.
Anyway...I might be just wangking on a bit too much.
