SW Missouri Templar X - Page 3

Got out into some more challenging riding today. Was obviously punching above my weight class as I had a minor miscommunication with the bike regarding which direction we were supposed to be going.
Few minor scuffs on the plastics, bruised ribs and sprained left wrist, but I got home in one piece! Time for a beer and some ice on the wrist. Thankful that I installed the handguards as that definitely saved my clutch lever and probably my fingers as well.

I've had a few of those on the Storm and on the Templar X! Glad you survived well enough to hoist a beer. The bike looks OK too. My go to is ibuprofen for the anti-inflammatory effect.

Today, a workout with a chainsaw and two trailer loads of fresh maple from a construction site inflicted the wound. I need a gin and tonic

Took Aleve when I got home. Couple of beers with dinner, ibuprofen and half a muscle relaxant just now before I head to bed.
Bike is just fine, I was way out in the Mark Twain down towards Forsyth, had to get myself back up out of the holler and then ride 20 miles home
Ignored the clutch most shifts because of the wrist but I've done worse to myself (25 years ago when I was still young and stupid instead of just stupid)
