Thread: Where Will The Deer Be?

Pfft. Another I dont want your spot X, but......

But since you appear to be a helpful joker on here, you should get a couple of hotspots. I can't help you but someone will.
I saw another couple on the road last night, so they're still snooping around, but that's no help either sorry.

I'm not after hotspots. That would be like knowing what you're getting for Xmas. Just want an idea of what terrain they're likely to be found in this time of year.

On a side note: Anyone know if the rib can get unhooked/broken/something in your back, coz it sure feels like it is hurting there as well as the break in the side?

If you have broken ribs it is quite likely you have stretched/torn the muscles that tie them together also which can be nearly as painful as the breaks.

The good news is there is nothing you can do for it.

But be thankful you have not split your sternum, been there and would not wish it on anyone.

Excellent, that makes sense. It feels a hell of a lot better walking round than sitting or trying to sleep where there is pressure on the ribs so should be good to go.

Split mine about 18mnths ago, it sucked, tried to walk it off because I went over the bars on dirt bike in front of a good 100 or so people after basically asking for it being an asshole block passing everyone on the back wheel past the car park at a trail ride, St Johns medics came and forced me into the ambulance and off to the bone shop. It sucked for a good 12 months.
Try some neoprene strapping around your chest and the affected shoulder GM might help a bit, gave me a bit of comfort.

Mine was a cough and stall low side turning on a steep face then falling downhill chest first into a stump.
Just when you think its come right you try and lift something and discover it hasent yet.

Wasn't even my bike either, after moving back into a fourstroke for a couple of years my buddy had just got a new YZ250 and we decided to swap for a lap so I could show him how to clear the cobwebs out of a two stroke, was having the time of my life until a rock in the grass put an end to it all as I went off the track and around a group of riders on the back wheel haha, I would have looked real badass if it had panned out

Mate did that on his brand spanking PE250 on the Lees Valley Road. Sliding it out round the corners and the back wheel gripped on some solid rock, launching him and bike 20m over the side. I must say that from a spectator perspective it looked funny as hell.

I've found some strapping that does make it very comfortable.

+1 Cam. Broke my sternum (among other things) in a car crash in '69. They say a lesson sticks better if accompanied by a painful experience. Worked for me as I have never had another MVA since. Fcuk, it hurt!
