Well ... falling down 9 stairs without touching any of them except the end one which I barely clipped turning my ankle sideways making all of my weight land on the ankle sideways .. crunch.

Was carrying my helmet which went flying and apparently broke into several pieces (the visor and visor assembly). I guess I'm in the market for a new helmet.

A friend of mine was able to put my bike in 1st gear and basically idle it to the underground parking garage where it currently is sitting. I'm not sure how I'm going to get my beast home considering I broke my shifting ankle :(

Where are you at? I may need to test my new trailer next week

Or contact Chris (Infernobuster) in here, he owns ToyHauler and can provide the service
 
Sucks :( get better soon!

Do you have CAA? They could tow it back for you.
 
CAA and a friend who rides or has a trailer will be your best bet.

Rest up and get that ankle better!

Thats funny .. I just kept saying ..I want to get off the floor .. I want off the floor .. and two times someone bumped my ankle I freaked out saying this was why I wanted off the floor.

Stairwell is a bad place to fall especially if you are on an island between the top and bottom ... full backboard and c collar .. not comfortable at all. But I guess im lucky my ankle is all I broke ...
 
Sad new, best to take it easy and mend up properly. You'll be riding again in no time !!

Just remind yourself you could've easily died or become a veg and use it as an excuse to ride more!!! "I've never been hurt riding, but I've broken a bone walking down the stairs"

Thank you for that ... not only did I laugh ... I will forever use that line ...
 
I had all my gear with me ... does that count? The helmet for sure has to be replaced ...
 
Sorry to hear it dude. At least it wasn't a major injury, could easily happen falling down the stairs.
 
That sucks :( what a ****** way to end the season especially with you just getting the bike. Get well soon.
 
Sorry to hear man
ATGATT, lol
 
Sorry to hear that! And you were just breaking in that bike, damn...

If it serves for any consolation, I'll post a lot of my travels and tag you on them as if you were riding with me haha :-p

GWS!
