Who's riding with a messed up BACK!!
- Thread starter icehead
- Start date
Shattered one vertebrae and broke pelvis into 5 pieces two years ago. My back hurts whether I ride or not, so I might as well ride.
Heriniations between c5/6 and c6/7. Autostablized, doesn't bother me much.

You X-rey looks very close to mine. I Broke L4 and L5. Now i have L3, L4, L5, and my Sacrum all fused. they had to cage it, IE go in from the front and back to fix it.
And like you it hurts weather i ride or not. Actually the only reason i went with a Busa over the Gizzer 1K over the busa was comfort. not i'd not give it up... But would love to add a new 1K7 for short twisty hops.
Wait... You think I'm MATURE?!(VaBusa @ May 24 2007,09:34) Well, we are a much more mature gang here...of course we've got some back, hip, pelvis, mental issues
Yeah, speaking of falling off of tailgates, how's the old pelvis doing Shawn? (note, not a question I'd normally ask of any guy LOL)
Wrecked a ligament in my lower back just above the waste about three years ago. In pain everyday. Still ride as long as I can walk and throw a leg over the seat.
I bent over to pick up a socket and "felt an elastic break" in my lower back right at the spine. Hurt real bad, dumbarse me went on a preplanned 300 mile ride the next day and my back tweaked while I was pumping gas, my leg went numb and I collapsed, me, the bike and the gas line hit the deck. It was a really bad day. Some buddies picked me and the bike up bent my shifter and clutch levers back into working order and I headed home.
Fugging socket...
Got a "Sleep Number" bed, best thing I ever did, number 100 baby.

Ive had a bad back ever since i was 15 and broke my tail bone at a highschool football practice.. I just deal with it, there are some days it takes me an hour to loosen up in the morning other days i am ok. To me the Busa is definitely more comfortable than my last sportbike and for sure better on my back than any cruiser I have owned or ridden.. I still get a little pain from riding her but its not enough to keep me from doing it again..
How did Shawn's pelvis end up in a bad back thread(ozzy04 @ May 24 2007,23:12)me.... mature....... doubt it....(VaBusa @ May 24 2007,09:34) Well, we are a much more mature gang here...of course we've got some back, hip, pelvis, mental issues

Is that dueling banjo's I hear
I tried a busa for the same reason as you - more comfortable than liter bikes which is all I used to ride before my back got hurt.
Sounds like you're all fused together like I am - at least we'll have good posture when we're older.
L4-5. Pinned ankle(L), broken-now artheritis in wrist and shoulder®. Going in now for MRI (spine&hip) ® leg numbness and to check hip pain where it hit the pavement 3yrs. prior. I feel the best after a ride on the busa. That's my story and I'm stick'en to it. Honestly I feel better on the busa than anything else unless a very short ride, like under 2 hours. Can do 20 on the busa.
I thought I would add my 2 cents. I blew out my back in High School accompanied with about 72 hours of internal bleeding, 6 months in a tinse unit, and a back brace for 2 years. I just bought the busa becuase well, it doesn't hurt as bad anymore, and the busa is so comfortable.
Dont get me wrong, somedays I feel like I did this all night when I wake up.
But I do this all day long, so that is no help.

Ouch....I have some back numbness and tingling in chest from herniated disc in T-4/T-5 and some lower lumbar aches, but nothing like some of you...
damn...
Keeping a tight stomach (even 20 crunches a day) and stretching your
hamstrings and calves can totally eliminate lower back pain.
Make it a habit like brushing your teeth...
