Aye, was nagged to go to A&E, as also hit a knee that I had previously smashed on a car roof! They reckoned I was ok, but to rest today and keep my leg up. So will see how shoulder is tomorrow, seems to be clicking and quite painful to move.

Mate, seriously get it seen to! I had a stupid snow boarding accident back in 2008, where I popped my shoulder out (still remember the *crack* sound..) and it popped back in by itself, and even though it was really sore I thought I wouldn't bother going to the doctors, because I could move my arm etc etc (younger and more stupid).

Anyway, I also had the clicking and painful movement, and it took ages until the pain went to the extent that I didn't suffer from it on a day to day basis, but it took up until last year that I could sleep on that side again due to the shoulder (it was of course my normal sleeping position as well until my fall).

My body is now wonky, as in my left shoulder sits slightly lower than my right, and you can see that the muscles have developed differently because my body has learnt to use it in a different way, and I still cannot really lift anything above my head on the left hand side due to lack of strength.

I still haven't been to the quacks about it, and I reckon it's a bit late for it now anyway, but I do wish I'd gone when I was skiing (not like I didn't have insurance), or at least when I came back, but I was young and stupid.

Cheers, think I will go to docs tomorrow, am just popping painkillers and not getting much sleep. Drove to Campbeltown today, and quite sore from just moving the steering wheel.

And you never popped in for a cuppa!

Ditto- get yourself to the Doc's!

Ps: couldn't help being reminded of a typo from my local paper years back:-

'The motorcyclist fell from his machine whilst rounding a coroner....'.

My favourite bike with that engine is the Cagiva Raptor- ace handling and bullet proof. All the fun of a Ducati Monster without the fragility. Prices of 'em seem to be going up as more people recognise it.

Considering how rare they seem to be, I know 2 people that own one.

dobbslc · Feb 2, 2017

I always fancied one of those Raptors. They did a 650 as well.

The same one? :confused:

Rannsachair · Feb 3, 2017

Well, doc recons I am lucky: just stretched tendons pushing on nerves, nothing to worry about. Can manage 50 press-ups without too much pain, so back to rebuilding the bike with a few improvements :thumbup:

Raptors are nice, but i would prefer a Falco, lot of bike for the money

Thanks for the offer, i picked up a tatty Trophy 900 the same age for just over £200 and its been sitting in the back of the shed for a few years years, it will now be a parts bike.

jordan1 · Feb 4, 2017

Good bikes Aprilia, I had a Tuono Factory 1000 some years back. One of the best bikes I ever had.

Rannsachair · Feb 26, 2017

Trident back on the road after the spill, clutch cover, mudguard and indicator off a spare bike, new levers, bar end weight, oil and filter change and a stainless 3-1 exhaust. Sorted

Have also got around to rebuilding a set of Daytona forks that I just need to paint and fit...

roofman · Feb 26, 2017

she,s a fine and capable beast again now :thumbup:

roofman · Feb 26, 2017

The size of the clutch covers on these motors always leaves me intrigued :confused:
