Jesus, a broken finger ??? Too bad it wasn't this finger, you could go around like that all day and get away with it !!!!!!That must hurt. Hope it was just a "simple fracture" and not one they had to do surgery on, like pinning or plating it . OMG

I can empathize with you, I am just getting over some broken toes on my right foot. I was out of work for 2 weeks and limped aroung on it for the next month. SUX BAD.
Limping so much made my knees hurt and I had calf muscle spasms and shin splints during the day and also at night. That is fun to wake up to. It is hard to put a cast on a toe, and taping it just made them hurt more..........

At least you don't have to walk on your finger.
Hope you are ambidexterous (sp) and heal quickly.
You need to heal up in time to open the boxes that the tires are being shipped in........

Good luck with the finger

Have a with your left hand.

Alcohol soaks "from the inside" are known to aid in the healing process. !!!!!!!!!!

He he, its not that bad, I thought it was strained like the two next fingers, but seriously blue made me want to check. Small fracture without surgery, happily. The last year I have broke an elbow (last September), had a major disc displacement in my neck (last December) which still bothers me. And now the finger, had some others injuries as well. It all happens on my Brazilian jujitsu training, and since my head is too stupid to learn... I guess its because my head is much younger than my body and keeps getting my body into these situations. :clap:

I also strained my knee wheen doing my kardio rutines...

And since my employer was bankrupt a month ago it is better to get sickpay (which is 100%) rather than unemployment which is 66%. So since I don`t work, as fast as the truck is back here the portal swap will be fast!

By the way, I am lefthanded so its ok :cheers:

And 5 minutes after I god the casket I was back training!! I might be stupid... :doh:

It varies a bit, but from 3000-4500usd (two steering axles).

I don`t mind you asking! :cheers:

Thanks, I could but I got a good price and sold my used brakes for all most the same.

I might be, I think the problem is I do not feel much pain. If it only hurts I won`t quit, it needs to be painful and it never gets there :bang:

I know, I`m stupid that way!

I am sick and tired of waiting on my LTBs, seriously considering some Iroks again... 42s, but I checked out some reviews of the LTB and not found a single bad one... What to do??? Anyone with an input? :beer:

The LTBs are at least 6 weeks out!

And I won`t buy the 39,5 iroks again, I just cant justify spending all most 1000usd on going from 15-17" rims... It would piss me off!!!
