I have broken the same bone in my foot (shattered it actually) and I'm here to tell you that taking the cast off and riding on it is not a very smart idea.

I have constant pain in my foot from having a cast come off too early. I have a bone chip and there are days when I can hardly walk. I limp a lot.

Sorry. I hope this doesn't happen to you.

well I hope not... but honestly... if it happens it happens... I feel good enough to ride now... and like I said... I talked to the ER DR. he said i was fine to ride if I got a brace and my boots were as restrictive as I said ( my A* SMX4's ) he said he's not worried about me making the injury worse... as I can't. but more worried about my pain threshold. and right now... VERY VERY minor pain.

Damn dude! Are you trying to take yourself out BEFORE the rally?

I have a bum knee and have ridden about 300 or so miles with it. The only time it didn't hurt was when I had my foot on the peg. I couldn't brake nor could I put that foot down. Mounting and dismounting was a bitch because it was swollen and gotten worse with riding so I couldn't hardly move my leg at all. I still rode though.

Tommy's not the meat driver....that's DragonPaco and he's not coming so we may be SOL.

Looks like the only ones that may be safe to ride with are you, me, Tommy, Sixxxer, and Chi.

they put me in a cast but I had them give me a splint too.... I went to work... and cut off the cast... put the splint on... it was gonna come off any how... when I put my boot on... so...

Between the two of us we might just have enough body parts to ride a bike together. The new name of the rally is the TW annual "cast-off" party.

I'm cutting mine of on tuesday, but, all i can think of using is an angle grinder, what did you use.

You're going to end up like one of those old fuckers that complains every time it rains.

Ask me how I know.
