...........I would safely say that race season is over now. 

Why?

I want to be fully healed before I get on the bike. That means about 9-12 months after I will have the plate removed so the bone can be on its own.

I know that feeling... Finally got back on a bike last weekend after 7 months, because of this:



But mine is staying in.

is it just your collarbone or is there something more that's hard to see?

i'm just curious because i jus broke mine in 3 places and got it screwed
back together with a full length plate but i'm expecting to be back on
the track in 7 or 8 weeks rather than 7 or 8 months.... so wondering
waht was differnet.

[Gixxerblade]

hard to explain. it was splintered and quite destroyed. it was almost healed when i got the surgery but had to be rebroken. doc says it was the worst collarbone break he had ever seen. i will be back near the end of the season but probably mostly trackdays and all that. racing will wait till next year.

Kris, your confused.  When they say to use titanium bolts for racing they mean on the bike, not your spine!
