while working with a drill press yesterday the thing i was drilling snagged.
before i could get my hand away the drill and the metal i was drilling had removed my thumb instead and chewed it up.

several hours of operations and the managed to re assemble most of it but i'll still be a stumpy.


take care with power tools kiddys

[Deano]

bad news mate

2 thumbs up for a speedy recovery

[puppet]

A mate of mine recently did a similar level of injury, except he got his stuck in chain and sprocket while cleaning his chain with a rag with the engine running and in gear and simply lopped it off. Hope you heal ok.

I read somewhere that most Buick drivers were missing brain cells or body parts.

[Bear]

Geez, are you the 3rd person on this forum to injure a hand somehow this year? Bad luck going around here.
You're not going to be able to do any "Hoppa" tackles with that hand now. Hope you recover quickly.

Might have to start an injuries page.

[loosebruce]

Fella I work with put a 10mm drill through his hand,a few weeks ago.
Lucky he didn't pass out cause he was on a second storey roof when he did it.
Happens quicker than you think.

you heard wrong

[Rocket]

Hey Weasel, that's not good to hear mate.
I hope you heal up okay.

I remember I cut my hand up pretty bad with a drillpress and some steel about 15 years ago, it wasn't much fun.
One of those silly learning experiences I guess.

[Weaselman]

im very learned now trust me

[Shadowzone]

Aah mate look on the bright side - at least now a fingerless glove will cover ya thumb which is a bonus if ya ever need it!

Now all you need to do is even the rest of em up!

(Not Advised)

Get well soon mate.

[zx12argh]

Shit mate - bad luck. Better hope the bike never breaks down. No one will pick you up with a stumpy thumb hitchhiking.

[rod185651]

Fuck mate! First you drop your bike, now your thumb, they say shit luck comes in threes so what are you going to do next?

[Azrael]

Fuck mate, ive been away for a couple of days trying to heal and this place turns to fucken bedlam! Hope your thumb heals quick mate, fucking drill presses, they are the reason i use mag drills, fucken brutal.

[Gi_4ce]

Man... This SUCKS!!!

[Darn]

Speedy recovery mate, :)

[fimpBIKES]

[latheboy]

[BANDITROD]

welcome to the knubby club mate this is mine after a date with my brake lever
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/68736735384920.jpg

[Weaselman]

when did that happen?

[BANDITROD]

january 07 mate and it still feels like its all there

[Weaselman]

yeah i got the phantoms

[BANDITROD]

its fuckin weird hey and they dont go away either i just think myself lucky thats all i lost cos i have heard of people that are missing limbs and after years still needing pain relief like morphine just to rest

[Watto]

bloody hell - speed recovery to ya mate[B)]

[uncle pervy]

bummer dude. fingers grow back, well mine did after i cut it off earlier this year. dont know 'bout thumbs though. look on the bright side, how many people do you know can count up to 9 and a half

[Weaselman]

hahaha a few and they are mostly on this site

[Lucas]

And I was complaining when I cut the very tip of my finger off, even though it grew back. After seeing the collective missing bits and pieces I'll shut the fuck up.

The way things are going we'll soon be able to make an ASF Frankenstine monster out of all the body parts various members are losing.

[Fight_fan]

Fuckn hell Rod! How did it happen? Brake leavers dont just up n eat half ya finger off... Do they...

[BANDITROD]

im the type of bloke who tried to protect my bike with my inferior body and the bitumen won .....it was a bit of poor road condition mixed with rider error and of course stupid me didnt have riding gear on except for my boots and draggin jeans (had a long sleeve t-shirt on) so the top half of me was missing skin fuckin everywhere plus broken ribs, collarbone,fractured elbow,and ac joint .....so all in all a shit day out and i was out of commision for 6 weeks

[Fight_fan]

Oh shit! Yeh I learnt the hard way, after gravel rash to the legs, that ther's no substitute for proper ridin gear hey! Now I never leave home without it...

[BANDITROD]

ditto mate

[Weaselman]

[zx12argh]

x4

[Shadowzone]

I'm a slow learner been down the road twice in shorts and t-shirt and colorado sandals and well sometimes I still ride in less than the best protection. I would say 99.9% of the time I wear it but on rare occasions I'll slip down the shop for bread and milk etc without. Depends I guess.

Not advisable and the pain of having the incorrect dressing pulled off the day after it was applied the second time (yep they were teaching me a lesson I'm sure) has meant now I wear it pretty much everytime.

[sharky]

My sis was a UK nurse....bikers that came in wearing leathers/protective gear they were real nice and gentle to...
Those in t-shirts and shorts got the scrubbing brush to get out the gravel. [:0]

[Weaselman]

yup
it happens here to.

trust me!
