Good find, that is a nice looking helmet. I like the way the chin bar flips to the back! Might have to get one to replace my 1st generation HJC Symax.

Very nice helmet. I am impressed that it meets both DOT and ECE standards. To my knowledge, it is the first one to do so. It is pricey; but the solid color version is $400.00 - $50.00 less than the version tested.
I just got back from the foot/ankle doc. I do have a hairline fracture;but there is no displacement of the bone. The ligaments in the foot are pretty badly stretched and damaged, so recovery will be a little slow. They put me in a walking boot that is pumped up with air to provide support and protection. I am to gradually put more weight on the foot and let the pain be my guide. I am still to keep it elevated as much as possible for the next week. No riding until after next Friday's followup visit. However, I can drive - but not according to nurse Mae Lyne! I can remove the walking boot for ease of showering. I figure in about three weeks I will be down to a splint and then I can safely ride.
Glad to hear that things aren't worse than they are, Carl.
I know what you mean about the ligaments being stretched and damaged.
My right hand took a big hit when I crashed last July and I'm still having trouble with it.
I broke three bones in the hand and wrenched all the tendons and ligaments. When I wake up in the morning my hand is like a claw until I soak it in hot water and perform some exercises. Once it's limbered up I'm usually good for the day.
You have a partner i crime my friend and I know exactly what you're going through.
This is when we realize we're not as young as we used to be :ya2:

Yes, it's my friendly hand, but as I said, I'm not as young as I used to be :ya2:

That is good news Carl.
I had a similar ankle injury about 25 years ago (I was young then). It took me about a week or two with the splinted air cast and I was almost as good as new. It did ultimately limit the range of movement in that the ankle that was broken will not move as far, or easily, as the uninjured one even to this day.

You guys must take it easy and recover slowly so it lasts :y18:

I am able to walk, make that hobble, in the house without crutches. But for prolonged walking, I still need the crutches.
But I want to be healed yesterday! :y114:
just be patient and wait till the day after you have fully healed Carl, and then you will get your wish. :ya2:
Yeah Carl, what shyguy said
