I just saw the thread on the new GS500 and it's really bothering me.....
Last Sat. my co-workers and I had a get together at Lake Somerville which included some tubing and skiing. I was riding an oversize tube with another guy and we hit a particularly tall wake and I got pulled off the tube but my right leg stayed behind, stuck in the cover inside the tube. I kind of got pulled apart like a wishbone from a X-Mas turkey and my right knee bent in ways that GOD never intended. Short of the story is I partially tore some ligaments in my knee and the Dr ordered me off bikes for at least a month. Turned in my Kawasaki last Monday. Starting this Monday I'll be riding a desk in Investigations.
Anyway the Dr says I have a pretty good shot at not needing surgery. I start rehab on Monday also and after the month goes by, I go back to the Dr to get re-evaluated. Hopefully everything will mend on its own.
So enjoy your bike Snoopster. For the next month I'll just be sitting in the garage watching my Speedmaster collect dust. :angryfir:
